My sister in laws and I have had a few chats about Bermuda shorts lately. I felt it was high time to take it to the blog. It's nice to have a short option available at the mall that's modest, but to be honest it's not super easy to style them and not look like a girls camp leader.
But I'm not one to sit back when my people need me. Today I had a mission. I pulled out my 4 pairs of Bermuda shorts and took on the challenge of putting together some fashion conscious looks and styling tips for taking those knee length shorts to the next level.
1. BEACH LOOK.
Try boyfriend beat up bermudas with a relaxed linen or cotton tunic. The key to taking bermudas (which tend to look really "basic") to the next level is styling and accessories. Add a great watch and a pair of trendy block-heel sandals instead of flip flips to keep from falling into basic-land. (Ps-my next fashion DIY will be making some ripped up boyfriend Bermudas)
2.DATE LOOK
Take your slim fit dark denim bermudas and add a silky button down. I love black, so I put my trusty Club Monaco black shirt in. But the skys the limit here. It is your date after all. Add an outerwear layer for when it cools off at night (this longline trench vest is amazing, or a trench coat would be great too). Then pump up the va-va-voom factor with red lips and statement heels. HELLO GORGEOUS.
3. THE OFFICE LOOK.
This is similar to the date night look (blousey top, heels, accessories) but for the office opt for a bermuda short of the dress pant variety. A pair of black dress-bermudas is a good staple to have in the closet. I have some Joe Fresh ones that I stand by.
3. THE CASUAL LOOK
This look is definitely the most "Amanda". The styling is just how I like it, RELAXED but intentional. Pair and oversized boyfriend oxford with a slim fitting pair of chino bermudas. Add a feminine touch with a pointed toe ballet flat and keep it cool with simple accessories and wayfarer sunglasses. This is will likely to be my uniform for this summer.
