If You Buy 1 Fashion Item This Spring, Make It This
As we head into a new season, every now and then, you notice that a certain ‘It-piece’ creeps to the fore. Last season, it was all about the funnel neck jacket. This spring? It’s all about Bermuda shorts. Impressively versatile, styled for the office or for a summer getaway, these shorts are about to become your spring equivalent of jeans.
The trend
You know an item of clothing is about to hit the mainstream when Margot Robbie’s spotted sporting it off-duty. Here she is in an airport, wearing a relaxed wide-leg style, teamed with a slouchy top, an East-West bag, statement shades, and a pair of Alaia’s cult-classic shoes.
Effortlessly cool and oh so comfortable, we really don’t need our arms twisted much to get around Bermuda shorts.
Effortlessly cool and oh so comfortable, we really don’t need our arms twisted much to get around Bermuda shorts – here’s how to style them both for work, and in your own downtime.
Tailored, perfect for the office
To make this trend office-appropriate, lean into tailored iterations and pleating. Think of these as your summer alternative to wide-leg trousers.
I just purchased Zara’s Long Bermuda Shorts (pictured below right) and they’re the perfect balance of smart tailoring and comfort.

Cool casual styles
For a more off-duty moment, denim and linen styles are your go-to. Style with tank tops, unbuttoned shirts and your favourite pair of flats.
