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.
