Yes, yes. So many grandma clothes getting trendy this year. Clogs, mules, matching separates… But you have to know by now that anything, and I mean anything, can be worn chic and stylishly so long as we can get out of that narrow-minded mentality of how it was and who has once worn them before.

You might have this idea that Bermuda shorts is unflattering and ugly. And you have to stop thinking that way this instant. Think of clothes as if they are an individual human being and try to see them for how and what they are great at, rather than the bad stuff.

In case of Bermuda shorts, they are great for those who are hesitant on showing much of their thighs but wanted to join in on wearing the summer’s star bottom garment which is shorts. When wearing the right cut for your body shape, Bermuda shorts can be flattering to you. And most of all, it is devilishly and surprisingly versatile. You could wear them to the office, casually, or even with a dressy outfit.

And this is where I come in. Here are 13 chic and stylish outfit ideas for Bermuda shorts that might leave you considering on wearing them. (Hint: they’re perfectly fitting for summer!)
