Making the Case for Bermuda Shorts

Shorts are one of those pieces you know, and know you'll come across at a certain point every year. Yet, despite this familiarity, they're still pretty difficult to shop for. One thing that has helped, though, is how the category has evolved in recent seasons: Whereas before, cutoffs reigning supreme, the rise of athleisure and fashion's fascination with nostalgia have opened the floodgates for more silhouettes and styles to be welcomed into the leg-baring fold. And for shoppers averse to extra-short inseams (hi, yes, hello!), there's been an extra-exciting development on this front, as Bermuda shorts follow the trailblazing path carved out by fanny packs and "dad sneakers" before them and become capital-F Fashion for summer 2018.

They were on the runway at Tibi, Lacoste, and Off-White; spotted on street-style stars and celebrities; 'grammed as part of many summery #OOTDs. Bermuda shorts are undergoing a reinvention and, this season, they're reentering mainstream retail, with various interpretations of the style—from baggy to fitted, from khaki to denim—available for any shoppers who would just like a little bit more coverage, please.

If you're still unsure about whether this comeback is going to stick, let the 25 bermuda shorts ahead convince you it's at the very least worth a try.
