While denim cut-offs may be a holiday essential, it’s Bermuda shorts that we depend on in the summer months for workwear. They are back in a big way this season, meaning the shops are stacked full of stylish options to ensure you stay cool on the commute, suitably dressed for the office, while also being ready for evening cocktails after a hard day’s work.
Even when teamed with a basic T-shirt, as pictured above, the tailored fit of Bermuda shorts means they always look smart. If you want a more formal look, style them with a blazer or an oversized shirt. In terms of fabric, linen always feels the most breathable while a light wool-blend keeps them looking pristine but lightweight.
For a sophisticated summer in the city look, opt for beige, whites, and earthy tones to create an effortlessly chic outfit when paired with your favourite existing pieces. These versatile shades means that your Bermuda shorts can easily be reworn in several different ways. We also love Bermuda shorts in blue and navy tones for a more elevated nautical inspired look. If you prefer to wear this tailored style in a pastel hue, light pink Bermuda shorts always look fresh and feminine.
When it comes to footwear, anything goes. Leather sandals or loafers are ideal if you want to stay comfortable, while kitten heels and Bermuda shorts are the perfect combination for dining al fresco on balmy nights.
