So, what are the origins of this trend?
The name says it all – the Bermuda Islands! This garment was first worn by solders of the British Royal Army in the 19th century. The shorts were far more suitable for beating the archipelago's tropical heat than traditional uniforms.
Bermuda shorts – one of this summer's big trends!
Clear some space in your wardrobe for this new trend. Take our word for it – Bermuda shorts will be everywhere this summer! The relaxed look and huge comfort factor have made Bermuda shorts a favourite clothing item. And what a change from a few years back! Bermudas were considered rather dull and off-trend in those days. But check it out. Bermuda shorts have gotten a serious update and are now one of the summer's major trends!
The advantage to Bermuda shorts? They’re mix and matchable with all kinds of garments!
Our favourite look? Pleated Bermudas with a blazer (e.g. our Kai blazer) for elegant and super trendy????! Play with your colour palette – pastels make for a gorgeous look!
But what shoes should you wear with Bermuda shorts? You need at least a low heel to stretch your silhouette some. The specific length of Bermudas has the tendency to make you look shorter, i.e. not the look most of us are going for????.
