Latest Obsession: Bermuda Shorts and Blazer sets

The words blazer and shorts might sound weird to you in a single sentence. Blazers are usually associated with formal or business casual outfits. Shorts on the other hand are as casual as an outfit can get. Pairing them together might not make sense to you, but trust me this might be the chicest outfit combo you w have come across. Think of it as a cross between boss babe meets summer effervescence. Keep scrolling through the post to see my picks for my latest obsession: Bermuda Shorts and Blazer sets.

What are Bermuda Shorts?

A Bermuda short is a knee-length pair of trousers inspired by British Army and Royal Navy uniforms. These sit somewhere between shorts and capri pants with a hem approximately 1 inch above knees.

Why are they called Bermuda Shorts?

The plain simple answer to this question is because these originated in Bermuda. To provide some respite from heat to its employees, a tea shop owner hemmed the uniform pants of its employees. The British Army in Bermuda, adopted the same shorts as part of their uniforms to escape the brunt of hot weather.

When can we wear Bermuda Shorts?

In Bermuda itself, shorts are considered formal attire where people wear them in a professional environment or cocktail parties. However, in the rest of the parts, these are considered more casual worn equally by men and women. They would be more apt for a summer brunch over the weekend, a stroll in the park, or a barbecue party.

Can I wear Bermuda Shorts and Blazer set?

Absolutely yes! Paired together correctly, these two can create a super chic look. One of the points to keep in mind while pairing a blazer with Bermuda is to go a size up in your blazer. Bermuda shorts are inherently straight and a little bit on a tighter side. Pairing it with a loose blazer will give it a more casual and breezy look.

My favorite Bermuda Shorts and Blazer sets

One can never go wrong with linen for summers. This summer shorts and blazer have a perfect casual breezy vibe for your weekend outing. You can also wear the shorts with the sleeveless blazer vest linked above if you want to look extra relaxed. You can easily catch me wearing these with a pair of white Nike high tops sneakers, probably sipping on a mimosa and enjoying my huevos rancheros for the weekend brunch.

Another linen-based Bermuda Shorts and Blazer set that I have been loving. Red is such a head-turner of color. This set will make sure to grab some eyes. You could pair it with a lace cami and a pair of black strappy sandals and instantly elevate the look for a night out.

Black blazers are usually reserved for more official events. However the moment you pair them with bermuda shorts, they no longer ooze the formal vibes. In fact, the linked black set is your safest bet if you want to try this style, without crossing over the safe zone. It can be both dressed up and down depending on how you accessorize it.

Enough with the basic shades. If we are discussing summer, then we need to bring up some colors. And what better color than yellow to add to that summer sunshine. This oversized vest with shorts will be a perfect addition to your wardrobe if you are someone who loves to dabble with the colors.

While we are on the topic of colors can we just discuss how beautiful this teal set is? Even the most avid neutral lovers won’t be able to pass by without giving a second eye to this beautiful blazer and bermuda shorts. Also, I love the fact that this blazer is half-sleeved which is such a rarity. Most of the blazers generally are either full-sleeved or sleeveless vests.
