For women, the coolest and neatest trousers in summer are of course shorts. But because not everyone has a perfect figure, some tight shorts are not suitable for people with fat on their legs. Fortunately, there is a new popular shorts that has changed this embarrassing situation, and that is Bermuda shorts. Compared with ordinary shorts, its leg design is looser and has a more casual feel. At the same time, its length is 2 to 3 cm above the knee, which can perfectly hide the fat on the thigh.
How popular are Bermuda shorts? We can find out by looking at the recent outfits of various celebrities and entertainers. For example, Chanel ambassador Zhou Gongzi wore them to attend fashion brand events. Zhou Xun, who has always been famous for his aura, looked even more charming when he put on these unisex shorts.
Zhou Xun’s typical figure is petite. Zhou Dongyu, who is very similar to her, also likes Bermuda shorts. The effect of wearing them is not inferior to that of tall actresses. And his handsome and pure temperament is very touching. From these two actresses, we can know that Bermuda shorts are really amazing. Some people think that these pants, which are close to short pants, are very short and cannot be worn by small people. Facts have proved that as long as you find the one that suits you, you can still wear it to the best effect. As for why Bermuda shorts are so magical, we have to mention some of its historical origins.
▍The origin of Bermuda shorts. The name Bermuda shorts, like other fashions named after places, has a deep relationship with Bermuda. It is said that because the climate in Bermuda is extremely hot, it is said that in order to get rid of the stuffy feeling of trousers, the locals cut off the trousers from the knee part, and then gradually evolved into its current appearance. In addition, it is said that men feel that suit pants are not suitable for summer, but wearing too short pants for commuting is unsightly, so they designed this elegant and appropriate Bermuda shorts.
No matter which of the origins is correct, what is certain is that in the early days of Bermuda shorts, they were basically exclusive to men. Even now, British royal aristocrats and boys under the age of 8 still wear these shorts, not to mention that many schools also have Bermuda shorts in their uniforms. This has become a symbol of the British inheritance of their traditional habits.
The fact that Bermuda shorts became women’s daily wear is attributed to the great industrial revolution, because women’s participation in production required more convenient work clothes. So at this stage, the boundaries between men and women in clothing also become blurred. This coincides with our modern fashion trends. For example, many big-name fashion items have no gender restrictions at all, and agenderism is slowly being accepted by more people.
People in the fashion circle are always the pioneers with the most avant-garde ideas. If we want to observe fashion trends and public opinion trends, the annual shows can give us a glimpse of some mysteries. For example, in the recent spring and summer shows, LV and Chanel chose Bermuda shorts as one of the mainstream trousers in the show. I believe that the fashion whirlwind of Bermuda shorts will not stop in the next year. So, if you want shorts that are fashionable and cover your flesh, then you might as well pick up such pants!
▍Select from the trouser body elements. The length and version of Bermuda shorts are relatively fixed, and basically anyone can wear them, so you can focus on other aspects when choosing. . For example, Bermuda shorts have many elements. Different elements will lead to different final effects of the pants. Let me introduce to you what elements there are and how we should choose them.
1. Solid color Bermuda shorts
Solid color Bermuda shorts are the most common type in life, especially black and White is also the most popular because it is versatile and simple, and does not matter skin color. As for other colors, we need to choose according to each person's situation. For example, if you have yellow skin, it is best not to wear highly saturated colors. Even if you want to wear them, you should choose other items in low-saturated colors to match and neutralize them.
Girls with fair skin don’t have to think too much, you can wear it and look good no matter what color it is.
2. Striped Bermuda Shorts
The popular element of stripes has never missed any hot items, as early as in Bermuda When shorts first appeared, there were striped styles. However, if you still wear ordinary stripes this year, you will really be a bit out. Bermuda shorts with rainbow stripes are more casual and fashionable. They go well with solid-color tops. The distinction between traditional and simple is more fashionable.
3. Polka-dot Bermuda shorts
Polka-dot Bermuda shorts are more suitable for casual vacations, with a special fresh style Son. When choosing polka dots, we should choose according to our own body shape. For example, a fat girl should choose small polka dots, which will have a slimming effect visually. In addition, you should also pay attention to the color of the tops and shoes that match the polka-dot Bermuda shorts. If they can match the color of the pants, it will be better.
After looking at the elements of Bermuda shorts, the selection is not over yet. This is because with the development of Bermuda shorts, in addition to the increase in patterns, there are also many types of pants fabrics, and each type actually has its most suitable scene. Of course, we must consider this when wearing clothes.
▍Selecting pants fabric There are probably three most common occasions for each of us. The first is the workplace, the second is the leisure occasion, and the third is the street. When we were selecting fabrics, we discovered that each of the fabrics used in Bermuda shorts has its most suitable scene. Let’s take a look with me!
1. Suit fabric
Suitable for work and other formal occasions
Suit-style Bermuda shorts are suitable for all formal occasions. No matter what your profession or status is, Bermuda shorts can appear in your outfit as a universal item. That means you won't be too conservative and restrained, and you don't have to worry about being too casual. The fundamental reason is that the suit material itself is stiff and stylish, which can give people a capable and handsome impression, which is very important for working women. However, suit fabrics may not always be like this. Some fabrics are softer and have looser styles, which are not suitable for places that are too formal.
2. Denim fabric
Suitable for street occasions
Bermuda shorts made of denim are more neutral and have a street feel. The most important thing is that denim is very easy to match. No matter what top you wear, it will be no problem with denim Bermuda shorts. However, the weather in summer is hot, so I still recommend not to choose denim materials that are too dark, because the heavy color of the lower body will make your upper and lower bodies inconsistent, while light-colored denim Bermuda shorts are more refreshing and versatile.
3. Cotton and linen fabrics
Suitable for leisure and vacation occasions
In fact, the above two types of Bermuda shorts can be worn in casual occasions if matched properly, but if you look through various street photos, the most casual one has to be linen. Linen Bermuda shorts are lightweight and breathable, a material we all love in the summer. And it looks very simple and natural, making it the most suitable type for leisure vacations.
▍What to wear with Bermuda shorts? Bermuda shorts are so popular, but one single item is not enough to create a perfect outfit. Careful preparation is also required in other aspects. Matching Bermuda shorts can be analyzed from two directions. The first is what kind of top to wear, and the second is what kind of shoes to wear. Only when these steps are done well can we truly wear Bermuda shorts to their best appearance.
look1. Bermuda shorts and tops
The most basic way to wear it is to wear a T-shirt with Bermuda shorts. Each of us has many T-shirts, and there are many styles of T-shirts. It’s just that when matching Bermuda shorts, you should follow the principle of upper and lower simplicity or upper and lower simplicity, so that people’s eyes can focus on the same point.
Don't be flashy from top to bottom. Not only is it unfashionable, but it also looks very unsummer. Of course, it’s no problem if you wear solid colors for summer clothes, and they are very simple and have a Japanese style feel.
The combination of shirts and Bermuda shorts often appears, and both men and women like to wear it this way. This is because the shirt itself has a formal feel, and paired with suit-style Bermuda shorts, it is the most standard summer commuting outfit. Of course, we can also choose shirts with more design and fashion. For example, the popular Hawaiian shirts in summer paired with Bermuda shorts are very street fashionable.
Blazers and Bermuda shorts are a perfect match. No matter what season it is, you can never go wrong with having a jacket in the office. Moreover, blazers have appeared in various outfits as fashion items in recent years. Plaid blazers, for example, are very classic and look fashionable whether paired with skirts or trousers. When paired with Bermuda shorts, you should choose solid color pants for a more fresh look.
look2. Bermuda shorts and shoes
The first type is the most common sandals in our lives. If you are a petite type, then wear strappy stiletto sandals, as they are the best at improving your body proportions. If you want a more casual look, flat sandals are also great and are more comfortable and casual than heels. If you are more avant-garde, you can also pair it with slippers. In the past two years, slipper-style sandals have become very common in fashion street photography~
As a universal matching item, of course, white shoes cannot be exceeded. And white shoes can be said to be the most refreshing shoe style in summer besides sandals. When paired with white shoes, we can choose tops and shorts with richer styles to draw the visual focus to clothing and accessories.
There is also a very popular shoe that can be worn with Bermuda shorts, and that is a pair of dad shoes that are popular among street fashion bloggers. Moreover, as a fashionable top item in recent years, it has almost replaced the status of ordinary sneakers. Because dad shoes are relatively large, they are most suitable when paired with Bermuda shorts with loose trouser legs and a retro style.
Bermuda shorts are so easy to wear, no wonder the fashion circle has always been so fond of them. From the examples I have seen, not only male artists wear it on magazine covers, but also female artists wear it to large events. Even fashion designers wear it as daily wear in fashion shows, so you can imagine how charming it is.
