Styling Bermuda Shorts

all the ways I'm wearing my latest fashion hyperfixation

You know you’ve entered a new era of your style journey when you start to lean in on the wardrobe staples once loved by your (late) mother. Bermuda shorts are nothing new, but I wanted to make a case for them as an unlikely wardrobe hero. For me, it has to do with the versatility. I’m not out here wearing denim cut offs with heels, but wouldn’t bat an eyelid at the thought of doing the same with a bermuda; denim or otherwise.

The challenge with wearing bermudas often comes down to the length. Hitting on the knee, which can be a little awkward to style. So in addition to sharing with you some summer and early autumn outfit ideas, I’m going to break down the styling strategies I’ve applied to each look (along with before and afters), so you can apply these techniques when drawing from items in your own closet.
