Fashion Future: Six Unique and Pinterest-coded Ways to Style Bermuda Shorts this Summer

It’s never too early to dream about summer, downing a mojito on the beachside in a cute outfit and just unwinding. Yet the right duds are hard to come by.

The scorching heat of summer makes it undeniably hard to get comfy in any garments and the run to find your perfect summer fit at the eleventh hour is a nightmare.

But what if I give you a heads-up on a wardrobe staple that will trend next season?

Whether it’s spring pastels or dramatic summer prints, Bermuda shorts are a must-have in your wardrobe in 2025. With the chokehold it had on Gen-Z in 2024, it is a confirmed slow & sustained riser in the US and UK for the next season.

One might not have a work-life balance but it’s always cool to have a trend-comfort balance.

Justin Bieber’s style may not be everyone’s cup of tea but he did have an influence on this ultimate wardrobe staple along with the cool kids on Pinterest.

Let’s get into a bit of history, shall we?

All of you must be groaning right now, but trust me this is actually fun!

The origins come from the Bermuda islands worn by the natives there for comfort and elegance. Yes, the same Bermuda that houses the infamous triangle. Later on the military claimed it as their’s during the war. All the way from there, this wardrobe staple has reached our closet and is here to stay.

Don’t know about the aliens or UFO claims, but this island fashion is definitely gonna be a need this summer.

As unlady-like it was before the mid 20th Century, women started owning this over-the-knee piece by 1950s when pin ups and capris started taking over. And I must say, they did rock it!

Looking back to Pretty Woman (1990), we have all dreamed about owning Julia Roberts’ statement fits. Her transition from a rebellious to mature character could be visualised through her Bermuda shorts with blazer outfit which was in contrast to her friend’s shorts and shirt. Just like how the shorts are considered elegant in the Bermuda islands.

The versatility of the garment, whether it be in silhouettes, material, or styling makes it a flexible summer option for any occasion.

“We can expect suede matching sets, boxy cropped jackets, and blazers paired with Bermuda shorts or mini skirts,” says Noémie Voyer, fashion product curator at trend analytics platform Heuritech.”
