The backlash against the super-short short has been a slow progression. Each season, we see hemlines creep a little lower down the leg, inseams extending closer and closer to the knee. It started with mom-jean-style cutoffs. Then there were biker shorts and paper-bag-waist tailored options that all hit around mid-thigh. This has all culminated with the current popularity of the Bermuda short this season. We know what you’re thinking: Bermuda shorts are a dated, preppy style we all wore in the early 2010s, but this season’s renditions are nothing like that. We’ve been seeing denim ones styled in a minimal French-girl way and tailored versions with dramatic silhouettes paired with streamlined separates. Whichever style you opt for, we’ve rounded up 15 of our favorite styles for you to shop immediately.
