A Quick History of Bermuda Shorts.

in case you want to know.

It's believed that the British Army "invented" Bermuda shorts in the early 1900s as a way to cope with the warm, tropical climate of British-occupied territories, namely Bermuda. They found that cutting their trousers off at the knee made the heat much more bearable. The Royal Navy still wears them to this day.

These shorts are now very popular in warm-weather former British colonies and territories, and they are even considered appropriate for business attire in those locations. When worn for business/formal occasions, Bermuda shorts are typically one inch above the knee and worn with calf-length socks, dress shirt, tie, and a blazer.

It's important not to confuse Bermuda shorts with similar types of short pants, like capri pants, clam diggers, and cargo shorts. Bermuda shorts are characterized by their hem falling slightly above the knee and by their being tailored yet loose.

What to Wear with Bermuda Shorts.

advice from About.com

  • Swimsuits
    Instead of opting for an over-used pair of board or gym shorts, make your Bermudas do double duty by pairing them with your bikini top when you head out to the beach.
  • Heels
    Trade in your worn-out flip flops to easily transform your look. For a night on the town, try a sexy pair of sleek heels. For an afternoon shopping, dining, and entertainment, try a comfortable pair of wedges or espadrilles.
  • Flowing Tops
    Try wearing a long flowing top (like a tunic) or a shirtdress, cinched at the waist with a matching belt for an easy-going look.
  • Blazers
    Want to wear your Bermudas to work? Pair them with a tailored blazer/jacket in a matching color or pattern.
