CLEAN, classic and cool, knee-length Bermudas are the most versatile shorts of the summer, and there is no chance of embarrassing yourself at work wearing them.
Bermuda pass the "you can bend over at the watercooler" test and are a great alternative to a skirt this summer.
We've searched the high street for the ultimate pair, and H&M has delivered with this stunning cream option that's guaranteed to make every outfit a little more chic.
Better still, they’re and have plenty of styling potential, making them a must-have for any summer wardrobe - and they're also proving popular among the A-listers.
Last month, Jessica Alba was seen in NYC embracing the trend in a navy Bermuda shorts and blazer co-ord set from Armarium.
The Fabulous fashion team rounds up how they will be wearing them for work, at weekends - and even in a wine bar.
I've loved Bermuda shorts for years, way before the fash pack decided they are the must-have item this summer.
As soon as the temperature rises, tailored short suits are my go-to for looking chic and keeping cool in the city.
This year, I have borrowed an oversized blue Oxford shirt from the boys and will be teaming it with H&M's sharp long-line shorts.
I've added red accessories and a pair of retro sunnies to give my Bermuda shorts a cool '70s vibe.
These tailored shorts are great for work, but they would also look fab for social occasions with a bandeau waistcoat or a one-shoulder top - when the sun is shining!
Bermudas have always filled me with fear, but this H&M pair are so stylish I don’t know what I was afraid of!
Big and baggy denim styles aren’t for me, but in a neutral colour and tailored? Yes, please.
Be it on holiday aboard or at my favourite local restaurant, dining outside is one of the joys of summer (when it's not pouring, obviously!).
I love these shorts paired with a black top for an easy, stylish evening look.
The longer length means I won’t get any chair imprints on my skin from sitting down all evening and they are supremely comfortable.
I've also fallen in love with this scoop-neck fitted blazer from Aligne - I’ll wear it for the rest of summer and likely most of autumn, too!
Paired with my other new love - thong heels - and a black clutch, my simple but chic look is complete.
I love the look of Bermuda shorts, but as someone who is just 5ft tall, it can be challenging to find a pair that fits well and hits the right length on my legs, but this H&M pair are just right - and the boxy shape makes my legs look longer, which is a plus!
Normally, I'd avoid wearing shorts to the office, but the pleated tailoring of these makes them ideal for sprucing up any work outfit.
I've teamed them with a crisp white shirt and a leopard-print jacket that I've been eyeing up for a while, as it looks like it will remain a trending print into A/W.
Chunky loafers and a spacious shopper bag, ideal for carrying my laptop, complete the look.
And I'm really impressed with the quality of this brown belt - at under £20 from Mango, it smartens up the outfit and ties everything together.
While these Bermuda shorts are tailored, they are also great for a beach holiday.
Just pair with a crochet knit to add some colour to your look and make the shorts more casual.
Dune London has some of the comfiest sandals I’ve ever worn and these ones are no exception.
Stick on a pair of sunnies, hang a big raffia bag on your arm, and you’re ready to hit the beach in style!
