April 16th, 2019 by Jennifer Beile Bermuda Shorts: 6 Ways to Wear the Trend
Bermuda shorts, or longer length shorts that are an inch or so above the knee, have been popping up all over my Instagram and blogroll lately and after doing a bit of research, I realized that it was a trend that went completely unnoticed by me this season. The controversial length of the shorts is not flattering on every body type, but the refreshing novelty of the style piqued my interest. Take a look at six ways to style Bermuda shorts for the spring season.
Transitional Spring
Pair longer length trouser shorts with a lightweight sweater and booties for the perfect transitional spring look.
Go Chic
Pair the longer length shorts with a structured top and blazer for a twist on a classic look.
Stay Classic
Style these shorts the same you would a pair of typical denim: tuck in your favorite blouse and add some slides for an effortless street style look.
Sporty Details
The long shorts lend themselves perfectly to an athleisure look. Pair them with a lightweight sweatshirt, belt bag, and sneakers for a simple weekend look.
Summer Getaway
Throw on a longer pair of shorts over your swimsuit or crop top during a summer getaway this year, whether poolside or oceanside, for maximum comfort.
Denim Daze
The denim on denim look is a classic and can be used as a go-to when you’re lacking inspiration.

With a new season finally upon us, it is time to break out some color in your wardrobe! Winter wardrobes are notorious for being a bit more neutral and monochromatic in style, but it’s time to switch things up a bit, as spring wardrobes couldn’t be more opposite! As we make the transition from cold to warm, one of the simplest and most stylish ways to breathe new life into a fresh season’s wardrobe is by adding some pops of color!

If you’re a bit weary of wearing brighter colors, then why not try adding a bolder hue to your accessory collection?! Stick to your favorite neutrals when it comes to your outfit and make a statement with a brightly-hued handbag instead!

Like accessorizing, adding a pop of color to your spring looks from the ground up with a fresh pair of eye-catching kicks, is a fantastic way to brighten up your spring wardrobe in an instant. You can even opt to wear full color, like Monroe did here, for the ultimate fashion-forward fit!
Layering 101
It’s time to retire your warm winter coat and opt to layer your outfits with something a bit bolder! Keep your look fun and fresh by wearing your favorite tee and denim beneath a candy-colored, structured blazer for a striking and head-turning look!
