Bermuda shorts have emerged as the defining trend at Copenhagen Fashion Week, spotted on stylish attendees outside shows for brands like Stine Goya, Gestuz, and By Malene Birger. This look offers a fresh, summer-appropriate update that's both chic and effortless, perfect for transitioning into autumn.
High-Street Versions Available
The trend is easily accessible on the high street, with options like a £26 pair from ASOS that looks far more expensive. For a more tailored approach, Mango offers a brown pair at £39.99, paired with a matching waistcoat at £46.99 for an office-ready ensemble.
How to Wear Bermuda Shorts
To nail this trend, choose styles that finish around the knee, either just above or below, hitting at a narrow point on the leg. Looser cuts with a slight A-line shape are generally flattering, but relaxed straight-leg styles also work. The shorts should skim rather than cling, and opting for cotton, twill, or linen in a tailored profile creates a pulled-together look.
Styling Tips
For a city-slicker vibe, team the shorts with a matching waistcoat or blazer. Footwear matters: heels add an elevated edge, while pointed ballet flats draw the eye down for a longer silhouette. Adding a belt with looser tops or oversized blazers defines the waist and adds a finishing touch.
