In today’s Reader Mail:
Dear BS:
Are you wearing Bermuda shorts this year? I keep seeing everyone wear them, but I keep thinking they’re all wrong. I can’t believe these are actually back in style. Are they? Tell me it isn’t so.
Love, B.
Ah! It is, we feel, and they are. But like with so many other trends, we’re saying bah, humbug, and are sitting this one out. We’d be much happier with high-waisted shorts—equally unflattering, but totally sexy, in our opinion. Are other people welcoming Bermudas into your summer shorts wardrobe?

No. They’ve been overdoen for the past 2-3 years…I think a 4 inch below the knee length is more “in” for this summer
I have two pairs — one like the one above and one seersucker. The key is wearing them with heels — I usually wear nude strappy sandles — because they can make you look short otherwise.
I’d much rather wear them than short shorts!
Yes, they are my friend right now due to not working out as much as I should be (crazy work schedule past few weeks). Hopefully can ditch them later in the summer
Yes, with wedge sandals!
I like them, but don’t own any I’d actually wear out of the house. Actually, that’s not true. I wear them out of the house often, but only to the grocery store or something similar. When my dark gray ones used to be nice, I’d wear them with one of my 4 pairs of gold heels. I realize I kind of have a problem.
Avoid if you have any kind of hips at all, imo.
Like my boyfriend said when he saw bermudas, “why don’t you just buy a full pair of pants?”. I agree with him on this one. Plus they cut me off in the wrong places and make my legs look stumpy.
i am WAY too short and curvy to pull these off.
