Whether you like it or not, Bermuda shorts are back and better than ever. This once ill-fated '00s trend, often associated with Adam Sandler, has returned to the closets of fashion people everywhere. I won't lie; I wasn't into this trend at first. Sure, dadcore is a cool concept, and jorts are at the center of many model-off-duty outfits, but there's no way they actually look cool when real people wear them… Right? Wrong.
While scouring the internet for office-appropriate linen shorts and lightweight cutoffs, I kept seeing more and more fashion people embracing denim Bermuda shorts and looking chic. After digging up a pair from the back of my closet and taking them for a spin with a few re-created outfits I pulled from Pinterest and Instagram, I think I've joined the jorts fan club.
My takeaway? The key to an appealing Bermuda shorts outfit lies in proper styling. From polished French basics to It girl approved accessories, there's a way to make denim Bermuda shorts look cool again. If that isn't something to celebrate, I don't know what is.
