Summer is here and, naturally, when it comes to dressing for July, shorts are an easy option. However, with the changeable weather, the temperature doesn’t exactly lure us into wearing short hemlines or flashing lots of leg. Cue denim Bermuda shorts. The style is trending right now in the fashion zeitgeist, and anyone who lives in an Irish climate will be thankful. These long-line denim shorts are more forgiving, require less leg prep (read: tan, real or fake) and are a great base for summer outfit styling.

Called ‘jorts’ (that is: jean shorts) in some circles, Bermuda shorts used to be somewhat controversial in the fashion world. (Thought of as the short-short’s less cool sister that were either too surfer, too utility or too clunky.) However, seeing as we’ve overloaded on thigh-grazing Daisy Duke iterations the last few years, Bermudas have a quality that feels refreshing – and very now.

How are they styled for SS24? Think: less surfer shorts, more sleek and sophisticated. The ideal summer in the city look, a pair of denim Bermudas are the perfect foil for a great blazer and a simple black, white, or navy tee. As for footwear? We say: play with fashion’s current love of ugly shoes. Try a Birkenstock slip-on mule, a mesh ballet flat or a chunky boyfriend loafer. Equally, play with contrasts by pairing denim Bermuda shorts with an ultra-feminine blouse with broderie fabric, ruffle details or whimsical chiffon.
