Cruise Into Spring With Bermuda Shorts

Bid farewell to short shorts for Spring—hem lines have dropped to the knee with Bermuda shorts!

Though it's hard to imagine it will ever get warmer, Spring is quickly approaching and Bermuda shorts are the perfect warm weather essential.  These surfer inspired shorts have a tailored, yet slouchy fit that makes them just as versatile as a pencil skirt. They’re also ultra chic and flattering- seriously, what’s not to love?

Whether you go floral or denim or choose a happy, bright color, this is your go-to garment when you want to let your legs do all the talking.  They had their debut a few years ago, but in 2013 Bermuda shorts are making a sophisticated comeback with a refreshing makeover that's inherently more glamorous. 

These slouchy, cool-girl shorts are perfect for any girl who has ever cringed at the thought of wearing cheek-baring cutoffs.   Have no fears about the few extra pounds you put on our thighs this winter.  We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief since these knee length shorts will prevent the extra poundage from being exposed.

  

From casual to dressy, Bermuda shorts will make you stand out this season.  There is a huge assortment of styles available so whether you fancy plain or printed clothing, you won't be left out of wearing this trend.  Here are some of the reasons why I love these shorts:

• They can be either dressy or casual and are appropriate for any occasion-  the beach, family BBQs, shopping or running errands, a night out, and even work. To achieve a casual look partner them with a simple white tank top and sandals.  Tailored Bermuda shorts worn with a white blouse, black blazer, and bold pump instantly create a classic look that's office appropriate.
• They're comfortable and provide just the right amount of coverage, making them a great way to cool off without showing off too much skin. These are not shorts that you need to stuff your legs into. You can stand up AND sit down in these shorts. In fact, you will be able to stand up and sit down over and over again without getting hurt or worrying that you will bust a seam.
• Given the variety of styles available, we now have a reason to expand upon our shoe collections to wear with these shorts.  From flip-flops and ballerina flats to strappy stilettos, the shoe department is our oyster! 

Bermuda shorts are a fabulous staple piece for Spring to spruce up your outfit in whatever pattern or fabric you choose!  While the runways were flooded with couture versions of these shorts this Spring, more basic Bermuda shorts can be found at Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy. Whether friend or foe, they’re a fashionable, comfortable, and classy piece to incorporate into your wardrobe for the upcoming season.
