Women in their 50s are in agreement—this summer's most sophisticated shorts trend.

Women in their 50s are in agreement—this summer's most sophisticated shorts trend.

      I’ve never viewed the shorts in my closet as my most stylish items. When I aim for a polished look during the summer, I usually opt for a satin dress or a white cotton skirt. However, after noticing Tracee Ellis Ross wearing knee-length tailored Bermuda shorts in New York this week, I'm rethinking my opinion.

      Tracee showcased a shorts trend that’s just as sophisticated as the finest skirts or trousers. The longer length provided a sleek, elongating silhouette, giving her outfit a polish that summer attire can sometimes lack. The styling was crucial as well; by pairing her tailored shorts with a checked button-down shirt that was neatly tucked in, Tracee embraced one of the fall’s major print trends while keeping her outfit light and suitable for the season. She completed the look with brown peep-toe heels, adding both height and elegance.

      While denim shorts might have made the outfit feel more casual, the tailored fabric and longer Bermuda style infused the look with the same refined quality as a pair of sharp wide-leg trousers. If you’re seeking a stylish way to stay cool during the hottest summer days, continue reading to explore my selection of the best Bermuda shorts available now.
