I saw them on Instagram a while ago, the Bermuda shorts. And I think they look so good on someone else! Just like shorts and a blazer for example, I also love that, especially with boots. Now I really don’t think shorts look good on me anymore, for me they could be a little longer. And that’s where Bermuda shorts comes into play. Because my urge to wear Bermuda shorts was greater than the question of whether it would suit me.
The search for perfect bermuda shorts
I’ve been looking for bermuda shorts that were completely to my liking for a while. Why ever settle for less anyway… I wanted a pinstripe and preferably a brown one. Navy would have been my second option. But it also had to fall to the knee and not above. Well see! I found it, eventually. I had to return a lot because they were all just above the knee. The persistent wins!
This is quite a trend that I have totally adopted and copied. With a wool jumper and boots. Because I think this is the most beautiful way to style a pair of Bermuda shorts. So it is quite a restrictive garment, at least for me. On the other hand, I almost always style my outfits the same way, because I just like it that way the best. I did see influencers wear the bermuda short with socks and brogues. Which I actually liked a lot, but it’s not a style I feel comfortable in.
And how I styled them
I think Bermuda shorts look very good with high boots. Whether they are boots with a heel or something cooler with a flat heel, it doesn’t matter. But ankle boots or sneakers are a no-no under Bermuda shorts. In this season that is. They look great with sneakers of course in summer. Wel, not these but summery ones…..you know what I mean. But I also saw them worn with pumps, which I loved too. So perhaps ankle boots with a heel aren’t such a bad idea, I just haven’t tried it yet. And slowly the bermuda shorts are more versatile in styling then I initially thought! Always good to keep an open mind….
I am wearing a very very old bracelet, and in my head that is about 19 years old. Very kitsch but that is the fun! Bought at Bijou Brigitte when they had brick stores. Loved it there, and bought a lot back then. They had those cute little steel baskets were you put your stuff in and grap everything you liked! Yeah, those were the days….lol. I am wearing brown leather boots and a new wool jumper in olive green, well it’s actually a cardigan. But I am wearing it closed as a jumper. Now, are you a fan of bermuda shorts?

It is! I feel more comfortable wearing them now ten in summer actually!
That is a lovey outfit; I would never have thought of wearing Bermuda shorts with knee high boots but they do pair well together.

Love the shorts…on you. Bermuda shorts is a trend I will pass on. Love that “vintage” bracelet, Nancy!
Author
Haha, almost vintage Sheila! Thanks!
I remember making fun of my mom for wearing Bermuda shorts back in the ’80s—I thought they were so embarrassing, but she said, “Just wait till you’re in your 40s.” Now that I am in my 40s, I am very glad that they’re back! I think they look great on you too!

Hahaha, yes indeed! Oh gosh, do I feel old now, lol.
Hi, Nancy – You found the perfect shorts; they are like trouser shorts. And you styled them perfectly. The cardigan looks like it was made to button up as a sweater. I enjoyed your story about this outfit. Thanks – Angie, http://www.yourtrueselfblog.com

I don’t like bermuda shorts, but the way these have extra volume and pleats they almost look like a skirt. They are much more flattering! I love the way you wore them with boots! Very cute outfit!

I remember wearing these kinds of shorts when I was teaching. They were wool and lined. I wore them with tights and flats. I didn’t realize they were coming back. Dang, I wish I’d kept those shorts now! Thanks for the link up!
