Extremely comfortable Bermuda shorts are a must-have for spring and summer. They easily adapt to any scenario: just change your shoes or accessories and your look instantly transforms from relaxed to elegant.
Classic Bermuda shorts never completely disappear from spring-summer collections, and this year they are returning in all possible variations: from denim to cotton models, from light wool to linen – depending on the weather and your style.

Bermuda shorts work equally well in sporty and casual combinations – with sneakers or ballet flats – as well as in more formal looks, where they are complemented by a jacket, loafers or classic pumps. And at the same time, they retain their main advantage: they provide comfort in changeable weather – with or without tights, you will feel appropriate and confident every time.
These pants have an interesting history. Like many items in today’s women’s wardrobe, Bermuda shorts were originally worn by men. In 1914, in Bermuda, tea shop owner Nathaniel Coxon, in an attempt to make life easier for his employees in the hot climate, decided to simply shorten their trousers to the knee. This practical gesture was noticed by Admiral Mason Burridge, who later introduced a similar format into the military environment — despite the skepticism of Winston Churchill, who did not consider such a cut to be appropriate from a stylistic point of view.

Eventually, Bermuda shorts became part of the British Navy's uniform for tropical missions, and later became a full-fledged part of everyday wardrobe. They confidently entered women's fashion in the 1960s, along with a new vision of femininity – freer, dynamic and independent. Since then, these shorts have been reinterpreted many times, but have always remained relevant in the warm season.
Today, Bermuda shorts are a real “savior of looks”: they are appropriate for day and evening, in combination with sporty or elegant things. They work equally well with a jacket, shirt or knitwear, with heels, sandals or boots – in combination with a voluminous sweater or a long cardigan.

This is a thing that easily adapts to any style. This season, choose restrained shades – beige, black, navy blue or gray – or add color: green, red and yellow sound especially relevant. There is only one main rule – to have at least one pair ready to meet the new season with ease not only in your mood, but also in your wardrobe.
