Rolled Hem Jean Shorts
Rolled hem Bermuda shorts have more of a vacation vibe but can still be very flattering. I love these soft pink denim Bermuda shorts when paired with a neutral shirt and leather sandals. Combining neutrals gives a refined, clean look that's sporty but grown-up.

Tailored Denim Shorts
Long denim shorts are always in style. The darker wash and crisp tailoring give these shorts a more formal look and feel. Try pairing with loafers and a cotton collared shirt for an elegant look.

Pleated Linen Shorts
It's been a long time since we have seen pleats on pants or shorts, but they're making a comeback. These peachy pleated, wide-leg shorts are flowy like gauchos and can be dressed up or down.
Depending on where you work, you could wear these to the office with a nice top, some heels, quality accessories, and a jacket. This look would best suit creative, and communications-type businesses.

Paisley Print Bermuda Shorts
Typically we see Bermuda shorts in solid colors. These cotton chino Bermuda shorts are easy to wear and are classy at any age in a modern paisley print.
These shorts are so classic, so summer, and oh-so-comfy. They pair perfectly with comfy sandals, tees, and polos.

Utility Bermuda Shorts
For days when you want a carefree look that's playful and less serious, these side-pocket utility shorts are it. They are sporty and functional and are made of organic cotton.

Long Gingham Shorts
Print shorts are trickier to wear because they draw a lot of attention to your bottom half, and frankly, many of the patterns look old lady.
But if you stick to a classic print like gingham, this can be a good look.
These blue and white gingham trouser Bermuda shorts are lively but not loud. Pair them with a white top for a sophisticated monotone look, or brighten them up with a splash of color in a primary color like red, yellow or blue.
