Breezy, fashionable and effortless, Bermuda shorts have been on-trend for the past few years and are showing off their staying power in 2026.

Primarily gaining traction with Gen Z audiences in past years (especially paired with moto boots), the trend has taken on a new air of sophistication, as popular styles like SPANX's Supersmooth 7-inch inseam short appeal to those looking for chic, comfortable clothes to stay cool in the record temperatures expected to hit much of the U.S. this summer.

In terms of length, Bermuda shorts typically have at least a 5-inch inseam and hit about 1 inch above the knee. The style has developed over time to include different fabrics and variations, but was originally made with lightweight fabrics to wear in hot weather, specifically island-type climates (hence the name).

The style's versatility is a key selling point, as they're easy to dress up with kitten heels and a crisp shirt for a museum or dinner date, but they're just as easy to toss on with comfortable sneakers and a tank top to run casual errands on a sunny day.

Another reason to shop? Comfort. Unlike shorter styles, the dreaded thigh chafing issue is practically moot when you're wearing Bermuda shorts, thanks to an often-generous cut that skims the body and falls below the area of concern. This is especially helpful when the shorts are made with a summer-friendly fabric like linen or twill.
