You've Been Warned: This Polarising Trend Is Coming Back
Whether you're a lover or hater of Bermuda shorts, we have proof they are sticking around this summer no matter how you feel. Initially brought back by Kim Kardashion West, the recent spring runway shows didn't hold back on the trend either, with the likes of Chanel and Tibi pairing the shorts with everything from voluminous sleeves and tonal outfits.
If you're looking for advice on how to style the look for spring, we have plenty of inspiration for you below. But if shoe choice is still a point of confusion, keep in mind these general rules: If the shorts are higher than your knees, stick to flats; beyond your knees and you can get away with flattering midi block or kitten heels. We're predicting this polarising trend will be the talk of the season, for better or for worse.
Persuaded yet? Keep scrolling to see street style and runway inspiration for spring, and shop linen styles for a relaxed, beachy approach from Her Line this season.
