The Unexpectedly Sexy Bermuda Short Dominates Summer Fashion

August 28, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

While discussions about men's shorts—their length, appropriateness, and the anxieties they might provoke—have been prevalent, the longer-lined shorts gracing women's wardrobes this summer have received less attention. Yet, these knee-length styles are proving to be the ideal complement to your most delicate tank tops.

At first impression, these knee-length shorts might evoke associations with casual capris or perhaps trigger nostalgic memories of youthful plaid Bermuda shorts. However, on the runways, designers like Ryota Iwai for Auralee and Julian Klausner for Dries Van Noten consistently feature the knee-length short as a perfect transitional silhouette. Designers Nina Khosla and Talia Shuvalov of Ossou are captivated by the intriguing tension this traditionally less overtly 'sexy' style can create. They observe, "A longer short can feel boyish and elegant, covered and sensual, practical and slightly unexpected, all at once." They further explain, "It also possesses enough presence to become an integral part of the overall silhouette, rather than merely appearing as a shortened pant. Currently, women are focused on cultivating character through proportion, rather than simply revealing more of their bodies. It's more about the attitude of the wearer."
