There are certain items that have become fashion person calling cards. Whether it be a petite Jacquemus bag or an oversized blazer, there’s a laundry list of things that have maybe yet to hit the mainstream but are so popular among fashion insiders that when I spot them IRL, I just know the person in question is clued into the key trends. Today, I’m focusing your attention on one fashion-person wardrobe staple in particular: Bermuda shorts. While the trend was definitely deemed “out there” when it first landed on radars, it’s now thought of as an updated closet staple.
Instead of going for super-short shorts this summer, the fashion crowd has fully adopted longer lengths that offer a bit more coverage. From tailored versions to carefree, vacation-ready shorts, keep scrolling to see all of the longer-length pairs we have in our carts right now.
