I Just Bought a Pair of Bermuda Shorts and Have These 8 Outfits Saved to Try

Look, I'm not even going to pretend that Bermuda shorts didn't intimidate me. They totally did. Ever since I saw the knee-grazing lengths that emerged on the S/S 20 runways at Bottega Veneta, Max Mara, and the like, I felt a mixture of emotions. I both feared them (because of the "ugly" long length) and absolutely loved them (because they felt fresh and ultra-cool).

I figured I could love them from afar like I've done with many other trends I decided simply weren't for me, but Bermuda shorts had other plans for me. They crept up in my subconscious, slipped their way into my feed, and started popping up at an appealing range of price points until I was losing sleep over not trying them. At that point, I promptly panic-bought an affordable pair (as I like to do with "riskier" fashion buys), namely this $55 pair from Nordstrom.

Well, I'm pleased to report that my shorts and I have hit it off. And now I get to test out all the styling ideas I'd been mentally saving for this very moment. I'm clearly really excited about these outfits with Bermuda shorts, and I'm confident you will be too, so I went ahead and compiled them all into this one convenient story. Scroll down to see them, screenshot the looks you like most, and peruse the ways to re-create each yourself, too. Here's to a summer of knee-grazing shorts!

Grab your go-to ribbed tank top (or reach for a one-shoulder version for something different) and slip on a pair of strappy sandals for an easy yet very stylish Bermuda-shorts look.
I'm obsessed with everything going on here but mainly like how the lace-up bra top freshens up the shorts suit. I would honestly wear this outfit with multiple shoe options but think the sporty sandals add something different.
Two things: camp shirts (another emerging summer trend I'm betting on) and swimsuits worn as tops. Both can, and should, be styled with long shorts.
I'm looking at you, minimalists. This look doesn't try too hard at all but still looks polished and cool thanks to summer staples like racer tanks and of-the-moment heeled thong sandals. Make it very 2020 with the addition of an oversize clutch bag.
Create a polished look when you wear a button-down shirt tucked in. A belt adds dimension to the look.
Give your going-out top a new life for the daytime by pairing it with the tailored trousers. A '90s-style shoulder bag ensures the look feels current.
I'm honestly tired of my sweats, but I'm not tired of easy loungewear outfits like this, so I plan on styling my shorts with breezy button-downs and flip-flops to emulate this easygoing vibe.
I'm including a more dressed-up look in this roundup because, hey, I plan to keep wearing my long shorts once we're allowed to go out again and think this styling makes them office-approved.

Next up, the summer staples an 18- and 54-year-old think everyone should own.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
