Bermuda Shorts: Tailored, Tonal, Timeless:
This season, Bermudas are replacing the mini; not for modesty, but for their sculpted, laid-back elegance. Pair them with tank tops or boxy shirts and cinch with a tonal leather belt for balance.
The Bermuda short re-emerged as a refined power piece on the Burberry SS25 runway. At 3.1 Phillip Lim, they came in breezy linens, styled with oversized blazers for urban edge. Lacoste reimagined the style in satin and tennis whites, making Bermudas not just practical, but fashion-forward.
