How to Style Bermuda Shorts for Summer 2021
From Kendall Jenner to Gwyneth Paltrow, join the fashion set in embracing the Bermuda short.
A questionable trend that even L'OFFICIEL has deemed cringeworthy in the past, Bermuda shorts are nevertheless back in fashion, from the Spring/Summer 2021 runways to street style. First worn as an adapted uniform to suit the heat of the North Atlantic island of Bermuda in the early 20th century, the style became associated with its country of origin. Initially popular among men, the style soon translated to women's fashion as hemlines rose in the 1950s. Like clockwork, Bermuda shorts returned in the 1970s, then the '90s, and again in the mid-2000s. The shorts became associated with children's wardrobes, but designers also embraced the youthful style.
It should come as no surprise that with the rise of soft tailoring, gentleman's trends in womenswear, and the full embrace of baggy pants (goodbye skinny jeans), your favorite street style icons are also reviving the oxymoronic long shorts. From Kendall Jenner to Gwenyth Paltrow, join the fashion set this summer and secure yourself a pair of versatile Bermuda shorts that will take you from the office straight to the beach. Here's how the stars have been styling them:
