The look: the long and short of it
You’d be forgiven for thinking that shorts must, by definition, be short. However, over the past few seasons we’ve seen this silhouette change. Designers across the board have been forgoing skimpy styles in favor of classic Bermuda shapes. Defined by their waist-cinching, wide-leg cut – and ending just around the knee – these ultra-flattering shorts create the illusion of endless legs. Case in point? London-based label King & Tuckfield’s timeless tan design, which will work just as well on and off duty. Put a summery spin on your WFH look by pairing them with a minimalist white tank top and cult label Frankie Shop’s chic double-breasted blazer, then finish with luxe accessories. Leda Madera’s diamond-studded hoop earrings promise to add polish to any outfit – not to mention take your Zoom game up a notch.
Lucky enough to be jetting off somewhere hot and getting ready to put your out-of-office on? Play up to the retro connotations of Bermuda shorts by layering yours over a Hawaiian-print bikini and styling with a crisp linen shirt – Emma Willis’s comes complete with mother-of-pearl buttons for an enviable vacation outfit. One element of your look that is non-negotiable? A luxe basket bag. Undoubtedly this season’s must-have accessory, Chloé’s ultra-chic version is big enough for all your beach essentials. Then, when you come back home, it will serve as a reminder of blissed-out summer days.
