Fashion girls are massively falling for the bermuda
Hey, I'm back with a shopping of the week and I'm more than lyrical to share this with you. Because I love the three-quarter pants.
The boyfriend test
When I scored a pair of bermuda shorts for the first time two years ago, my boyfriend had to swallow twice before he could comprehend what I had bought again. That I buy a lot (really trying to cut back) is one thing, but that I buy something that looks like I conjured it out of his closet, made him chuckle. I get it. Maybe it's not the sexiest pants on earth, it gives a bit of the vacation-dad look and we have to accept that (most) partners don't understand this look. And I find that quite positive. When men don't always get something, I know: I'm doing well!
From bermuda to jorts
The funny thing is: Gen Z'ers love bermudas (a model of shorts, regardless of the material (cotton, linen, chino, etc.)) / jorts (shorts made from denim). By the way, did I already mention where the name jorts comes from? I don't think so. The word comes from a blend of jeans and shorts. Which together makes ‘jorts’. A pair of pants that goes over or just above your knee, I can say: the hipper version of zip-off pants. A capri pants looks similar, only it falls to your calf and is often a bit tighter. More like leggings, often with a little slit. Just look at Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber.
How do you wear it without the camping dad vibe?
Anyway, I'm very happy that it's going to be a hit again this upcoming summer. Now we have one question left: how do the cool girls wear it?
With a tank top and a pair of ballerinas for a coffee date in the city. With an oversized T-shirt and a matching scarf casually tied around your waist. With a blazer and vest like a kind of three-piece suit. Or with moccasin loafers and white or colored socks, ideal for a warmer day at the office.
And is there a party on the agenda? Then just throw on a pair of heels or boots and you’re ready to go.
A “sustainable” staple item to have in your closet. And if you're in the mood for a quick DIY: pull out your old pants and take the scissors to them. Mark where you want the leg to end and voilà, your own jorts. This way those old jeans still get a second life and don't end up in the landfill.
In short: the bermuda may not be completely boyfriend approved (it is for me now), but very much fashion girl approved. And that's ultimately what counts.
