One of the trends that popped up on the S/S 2014 runways is the Bermuda shorts. Peter Som, Marc Jacobs, Dries Van Noten, Rag & Bone and Jason Wu are just some of the designers who incorporated their own vision and did their own interpretation to the age-old walking shorts.
You probably also own one. These knee-length shorts that are usually slim-fitted at the hem are pretty much indispensable for everyone’s casual wardrobe. But these days, they can be styled to look like they just came straight out of the runway. Here are some tricks you can try:
1. Tuck a loose-fitting white tank top in your shorts and finish off the look with a pair of sandals
