Bermuda shorts are back in a big way and I’m here to tell you it’s possible to wear them without looking dowdy! I used to think they’d be unflattering since I’m not tall, but changed my mind when I ordered my first pair of mid-length Levi’s cutoffs and fell in love with the fit. When it comes to long denim shorts, those with a higher rise and slim-fitting leg are the most leg-lengthening (shop the fit here), and the easiest way to wear the trend in a flattering way is to add a pair of heels. For summer, my favorite shoe choice is a minimal sandal with delicate straps (like one of these styles). Below you’ll find some of the ways I’ve worn mine for summer: from a simple tee to a structured blazer, the possibilities are endless.
Play with textures by adding a utility jacket, silk camisole and suede sandals (P.S. this is also a great transitional look for fall).
