Bermuda Shorts That Don't Try Too Hard

Most men get Bermuda shorts wrong in the same direction. Too casual, too printed, too much fabric doing too much talking. You end up looking like you're on a stag do rather than someone who has actually thought about what he's wearing in warm weather. The good ones sit at a length that works, around the knee or just above it, in a fabric that holds its shape through a full day rather than going limp by lunch. We've been particularly drawn to tailored cuts in linen, cotton twill, and shorts that carry a clean waistband without unnecessary hardware. Neutral colours do the most work here. A well cut Bermuda in a good olive or a faded khaki will go with half the shirts you already own. These are not beach shorts. They are warm weather casuals that don't announce themselves when you walk into a room, which is exactly the point.
