Fashion tips
22 June 2026
Some trends arrive quietly, while others take over almost overnight. Bermuda shorts clearly belong to the latter category. Long, straight-cut, and high-waisted, they have moved far beyond their utilitarian roots to become the fashion statement of Summer 2026.
Their strength? A longer, more structured silhouette than classic shorts, one that elongates the leg without ever feeling overly revealing. With a straight fit, raw or washed denim, and a clean hem, Bermuda shorts offer everything we love about jeans, in a summer-ready version. Here are five ways to wear them, from rock-inspired to effortlessly chic, drawing from our denim selection and the rest of the La Grande Boutique wardrobe.
The return of Bermuda shorts is no coincidence. After several seasons dominated by ultra-short styles, fashion is rediscovering a taste for longer, more refined proportions, perhaps even more grown-up ones. Bermuda shorts strike the perfect balance between the comfort of shorts and the structure of jeans, shaping the silhouette while allowing the legs to breathe.
Another reason for their success is their versatility. Worn with a shirt and sandals, they feel polished and city-ready. Paired with a T-shirt and boots, they instantly take on a rock-inspired edge. Add a fitted top and a pair of heels, and they can even work as an unexpectedly chic evening look. Here are five ways to explore every side of this season’s standout trend.
Look Idea #1: Denim Bermuda Shorts, the Casual Rock Version
The Relaxed Depot Bermuda Shorts in Blue by R13 set the tone: a relaxed fit, an easy drape, and perfectly balanced proportions, all crafted in washed blue denim. It’s the ideal piece for anyone looking to embrace the trend without overdoing it.
Styled with boots for a rock-inspired edge or paired with more minimalist accessories, these Bermuda shorts become a true everyday staple. Effortlessly versatile, they work just as well in the city as they do on holiday, making them an easy addition to any summer wardrobe.
Look Idea #2: Rolled-Up Bermuda Shorts, California Vintage Spirit
The Jasper Pacific Blue Shorts by Anine Bing capture the effortless appeal of perfectly worn-in vintage denim, thanks to their faded Pacific Blue wash. Worn with the hem rolled up, they take on a shorter, more relaxed silhouette with an unmistakably rock-inspired attitude.
While we love them paired with a crisp shirt for a more polished look, here we’re embracing their rebellious side. Style them with a vintage T-shirt, lace-up combat boots, and a pair of feminine hoop earrings catching the summer breeze. The contrast between rugged and refined creates an effortless balance that feels both cool and timeless—like a modern take on California’s rock-and-roll spirit.
Look Idea #3: Denim Bermuda Shorts, Effortlessly Chic All Summer Long
The Becky Real Blue Bermuda Shorts by Haikure strike the perfect balance between confident style and Italian craftsmanship. Their high-waisted straight-leg cut and authentic Real Blue wash make them an easy choice from the very first warm days of the season.
Keep the styling simple with a selection of beautifully made essentials: elegant leather sandals, a woven raffia bag, and understated accessories. The result is polished yet relaxed, a look that feels just right whether you’re strolling through the city, heading to lunch, or escaping for a summer weekend. Consider your summer uniform sorted.
For a cleaner, more refined approach, turn to the Becky White Bermuda Shorts by Haikure. Crafted in crisp white twill, they offer a structured silhouette that perfectly complements a minimalist summer wardrobe.
A light-toned look works particularly well during the day. Pair them with a classic shirt and let your footwear and jewellery provide the finishing touches rather than relying on layers. The beauty of this outfit lies in its simplicity: fresh, effortless, and luminous. After all, summer dressing is all about travelling light.
Look Idea #5: Dark Denim Bermuda Shorts, City-Ready Style
The Keaton Relaxed Shane Indigo Bermuda Shorts by Denimist are crafted from rigid dark-wash denim and feature a relaxed straight-leg fit. Worn slightly oversized, they bring the most urban attitude to this selection. Even better, they’re just as easy to wear for a weekend getaway as they are for a day in the city.
For a polished look, pair them with a light-coloured shirt to create a striking contrast against the deep indigo denim. It’s this interplay of tones that gives the outfit its refined, metropolitan feel. As for accessories, stick to timeless essentials: a beautiful pair of sandals and a spacious tote bag. Effortless yet elegant, they’ll take you seamlessly from the office to a sun lounger all summer long.
