Summertime is in full swing, which means everyone is sporting shorts these days. While short lengths and styles will continually evolve, there is one specific type of shorts being worn by some of today’s biggest style icons.
Bermuda shorts can be found in all different sorts of materials and aren’t only found in denim. For instance, one could get them in a cotton or linen material for a lighter summer look. They’ve also been seen in athletic materials, emulating basketball shorts, or designed to look more formal, almost like cropped slacks you’d wear to work.
Bermuda shorts, another term for knee-length shorts, are the shorts of the summer. They come in all shapes and sizes, being made from denim or more, and typically always end a few inches above or at the knee. Some fashion enthusiasts aren’t as into the look, given that they’re reminiscing of a more 1980s look, but several fashionable celebrities, like Hailey Bieber and Jessica Alba, have been embracing the comeback over the last year. Check out how some of today’s fashion icons are styling them below.

Hailey Bieber
The Rhode founder is one of today's most trendy celebrities, flaunting her prim yet cool street style. Lately, she's been loving the long bermuda shorts look, more recently incorporating them into an all-white outfit that was different from some of her more sultry looks at awards shows and red carpet events.
Hailey wore her white bermuda shorts with a matching cropped white t-shirt and added a black and gold belt as an accessory. She also threw on a pair of white ankle socks, which she wore under black strappy sandals, taking back the 'socks and sandals' look and making it stylish. With her white outfit, she carried around a black leather purse and walked around outside in square-shaped sunglasses.
Jessica Alba
For one of her latest appearances on The View, the newly single Hollywood actress showed off her toned legs in formal grey bermuda shorts paired with a matching grey blazer that created the base of a super chic ensemble. Adding another casual element to her look, she sported a grey bandeau-style top beneath the blazer, letting her stomach poke through and breaking up the layers of her outfit.
The mom of three added a more sophisticated tone to her shorts by pairing them with high heels and some girl boss jewelry, including gold hoops and a few eye-catching, colorful beaded bracelets. This is a great example of rocking the bermuda shorts in a more formal look while still enjoying the comfort of a pair of shorts.
Gwyneth Paltrow
One of the most popular places you'll see this style of shorts is on the beach or near a beach town. If that's where you want to wear them, you might want to emulate the Goop founder's look, which is casual yet classy. She paired her long, wide-leg bermuda shorts with a long-sleeved, light blue button-down shirt. Embracing a looser style, Gwyneth left the bottom half of her shirt unbuttoned, showing off the full pair of shorts.
Keeping things lowkey, the wellness guru left her long blonde hair down and kept on her reading glasses. For a summer day with a bit of a breeze, you could easily recreate this look. To get a little more air, keep the button-down shirt open or roll up the sleeves. Either way, you'll look nice and chic while keeping things lightweight.
