If there’s one warm-weather staple I’ll never quit, it’s a great pair of Bermuda shorts. The key? Investing in a tailored pair made from quality fabric. Think crisp cotton, linen blends, or elevated materials like wool suiting or silk. This isn't the time for stretch denim or cut-offs — we’re talking about the grown-up version of summer shorts.
My friends joke that I treat Easter Sunday like my personal Super Bowl — and honestly, they’re not wrong. It’s hands-down my favorite day to get dressed. There’s something about spring fashion that just hits different — the soft color palette, the return of tailoring in lightweight fabrics, and the art of layering without sweating through it. I love mixing structured pieces with playful details, and Easter gives me the perfect excuse to lean all the way in. Here’s what I wore:
How to Size, Fit & Find the Right Pair:
A true Bermuda short should hit just at or slightly above the knee cap. Anything higher is more of a city short or trouser cut — still chic, just a different vibe.
Currently obsessing over the *Lee Matthews Bermuda Lloyd Shorts*. They nail the length, the drape, and the tailoring — a forever piece that makes getting dressed in the morning feel effortless. I also really love this pair by H&M. I haven’t tried them on yet but the price is super friendly. I would highly suggest ordering the same pair in black too.
*Not gifted, discounted or paid to post about these. Just a fan girl.
How to Style:
When styling, I lean into monochromatic tones but always mix textures. Pair your Bermudas with a slinky silk blouse, a light knit cashmere, or even something mesh. And yes — mixing cream with white is not only allowed, it’s encouraged. It adds depth and dimension without ever feeling too done.
A good house rule if you want to stay safe when styling Bermudas: covered shoulders = covered shoes. It brings balance. If you’re going with a sleeveless tank or tee, try a chic summer flip flop. If you’re wearing a sweater on top, I love pairing it with a covered mule like the Bembien Faye Mule.
