Plus-Size Bermuda Shorts Shopping Guide

Toss aside your cut-offs and short shorts, because hemlines are getting a little bit longer this season. Welcome to the summer of the Bermuda short, folks. While it might feel like a bit of a shock—although we could have taken the 2019 bike short trend as a clue of what was to come—Bermuda shorts are popping up everywhere. It’s hard to deny a trend when it can be found in the summer collections of just about every brand, so buckle up. This is one warm weather look that’s here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Of course, like any trend that’s re-surfaced, the latest Bermuda shorts are new-and-improved versions of what you’d see on teens in a 2006 sitcom. Forget patchwork (We shudder at the thought.) and knee-length khaki; 2020 has ushered in a new era of Bermuda short—and it’s low-key cute. Instead of shorts that make you look like an overly eager dad on vacation, think summer-ready suiting or high-waisted denim. Just because hemlines are longer than they have been in recent years doesn’t mean these plus-size shorts aren’t totally wearable—chic, even!

Still on the fence? We get it. That’s why we rounded up 20 of the cutest pairs of plus-size Bermuda shorts we could find. Whether you’re looking to wear a pair of suit shorts with a cool boyfriend blazer or add your favorite crop top to a pair of denim Bermuda shorts, you’re sure to find so many ways to rock the trend this summer. Don’t knock it until you try it. You might even find that Bermuda shorts live up to the hype.
