THE BERMUDA SHORT, 3 WAYS
Streetstyle-worthy takes on the short of the season
Words by Bridget Barnett
The Bermuda short – the article of clothing that hit its stride in the 40s and then returned in a major way in the 90s (think Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman) is back. A bounty of hot-right-now labels are pulling out their best iterations this season – from Peter Do to Bottega Veneta and 16Arlington.
And while there is no doubt that the slouchy short is indeed stylish, where the uncertainty tends to come into play is when it comes to styling. On a 1-10 scale of “hard to pull off”, the Bermuda tends to sit up there, alongside teeny-tiny sunglasses and bucket hats.
Here, we show you not only how to get it right, but how to style it in levels worthy of being streetstyle papped – cue incorporating some of the most relevant brands, silhouettes and complementary trends right now.
