If you want your Bermuda shorts to look stylish in 2026, skip the white tank and opt for this lovely top instead.

      The warm season is just starting, but one thing is already clear: Bermuda shorts are leading the trend. While bloomers, track shorts, and board shorts are also popular choices, if you aim to present yourself as an elegant, seasoned, and effortlessly stylish fashionista, Bermuda shorts are the way to go. Just look at style icon Alexa Chung, who sported a pair during her vacation. After returning from Florence with the brand Khaite, Chung took to Instagram to share some photos. In one shot, she donned an outfit featuring Khaite's Auggie Shorts paired with a ruched camisole. Chung elevated the look with embellished René Caovilla heels and a mini chain-strap Khaite bag.

      Regarding outfits: Khaite Inara Top ($1680) and Auggie Shorts ($1680); René Caovilla Chandelier Sandals ($1530). While a simple tank paired with Bermuda shorts can be attractive, teaming the shorts with a ruched top creates a more modern and stylish vibe. The texture and gathered details add depth, interest, and flair, which a plain white tank lacks. This detailing also helps Bermuda shorts appear relaxed and ready for street style rather than looking outdated or overly formal. Whether your fashion sense aligns with Chung's or not, this outfit formula is versatile and foolproof for summer.
