Bermuda Shorts Are The Ultimate Ultra-Chic Late Summer Piece To Try Out
With lengthy hemlines and oversized silhouettes, these once-hated styles have made their way back into the mainstream this summer.
From the runways to celebrity street style looks to It girl Instagram musings, Bermuda shorts are everywhere. While many recall Bermuda shorts from periods of time spent dressed by a parent during childhood, an ultra-chic grandparent, or vintage fashion magazines of decades long past, the style has been out of favor thanks to the long reign of shorter hemlines. From denim cutoffs to ultra-cropped athletic shorts, the look has been everywhere in recent years.
Somewhere along the way, designers like Sandy Liang, Miu Miu, JW Anderson, and Dries Van Noten brought back the silhouette with a slew of ultra-chic Bermuda short-adjacent looks.
