In rather polarising fashion news, Bermuda shorts are officially back for summer. Offering a chic alternative to shorter hemlines, they blend polish with practicality, making them one of the most reliable pieces to add to your spring and summer wardrobe.
So, forget the swishy skirts and airy linen trousers you’re used to wearing religiously, and look to something more pared-back and comfy.
Originally created for hot climates (hence the name Bermuda), this stylel has evolved into a chic, everyday option for well-dressed women everywhere - especially if you’re over the age of 50 and looking for something flattering, yet still pulled together when the weather turns balmy.
Of course, the return of this style shouldn’t come as a surprise. It reflects a growing desire for more tailored pieces in everyday wardrobes, with many designs featuring flattering pleats and high waists for a chic, timeless finish. M&S has a brilliant pink pair with added stretch, while Uniqlo stocks a classic beige version for a more boyish touch.
Sitting just above (or at) the knee, they strike a stylish balance between casual and more formal occasions - it simply depends on how you style them. For casual errand runs or daytime holiday strolls, try a boxy white tee paired with retro trainers in a bold colour, from red to royal blue.
Alternatively, for evenings out, swap the tee for a puff-sleeve blouse with frothy lace detailing, and add a pair of suede flip-flops.
