As Memorial Day approaches, summer’s biggest trends are moving from the runways to everyday style. This season, Bermuda shorts are the standout—a knee-length style that first gained attention last spring at Australian Fashion Week. Vogue’s senior fashion news editor, Laia Garcia-Furtado, noted how popular they were with “the Aussie girls,” and now American fashion lovers have embraced them too. Seen on runways at Miu Miu and Dries Van Noten, Bermuda shorts have become a must-have summer staple.

Vogue’s Top Bermuda Short Picks:
– Classic Black: Frame The Trouser shorts, $258
– Affordable: Uniqlo AirSense half shorts, $20
– Pleated Fit: Massimo Dutti pleated Bermuda shorts, $100

More breathable than trousers yet polished enough for the office, Bermuda shorts could be the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. As Garcia-Furtado suggests, wearing them slightly oversized creates a skirt-like silhouette that feels fresh—especially with heels or feminine flats.

Here are a few stylish ways to wear them this season:

1. The All-Black Minimalist Look
Pair black Bermuda shorts with a strapless top for effortless elegance. Add red shoes and a statement necklace to complete the look.

2. The Classic Jeans-and-Tee, Reimagined
Swap jeans for tailored Bermuda shorts and keep the white tee loose and boxy for a relaxed summer vibe.

3. Sporty Suiting
Give suiting a casual twist with pleated Bermuda shorts and a sleek anorak in chocolate brown.

4. Playful Pleats + Printed Tee
For a fun mix of tomboy and sweet, style khaki Bermuda shorts with a striped tee and Mary Janes.

5. Capri-Inspired with Wedges
Opt for slim-fit Bermuda shorts for a softer, feminine look—pair with wedges and a raffia bag.

6. All-American Prep
Go classic with red Bermuda shorts and a cropped button-down, finished with boat shoe loafers for a modern twist.

7. Undone Tomboy Style
Keep it simple with tailored shorts, a crisp white tank, and shiny loafers for a laid-back, cool-girl look.
