We're Calling It: This Shorts Trend Is Making a Comeback

Remember Bermuda shorts? Yeah, we do too. Just like culottes and other old-school trends, this one is huge for spring. And whether you were a fan of the look the first time around or not, it’s safe to say that knee-length shorts are back, and this is just the beginning.
Just in time for Coachella, these shorts will show just the right amount of leg if you want to swap out your regular cutoffs and are looking for a little more coverage. The fashion set has already taken claim to the trend, and it’s easy to see why: Edgy and comfortable, the longer shorts can juxtapose any outfit regardless of what you wear—you’ll be the coolest girl in the room.
Whether you prefer a loose and relaxed pair or want to tap into the cycling shorts trend that celebs like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner are wearing, we’ve rounded up our favorite knee-length shorts styles so you can shop them all for spring.
Denim
There’s something so edgy and cool about knee-length denim shorts that simply has us staring. Swap out your standard cutoffs for a longer version to have a new take on festival style.
Relaxed
Yes, a pair of relaxed, laid-back shorts can be chic. Wear them with a pair of loafers and a blouse to dress them up.
Biker

Tailored
During the times when all you want to do is wear shorts but you still need to look put-together, look to a pair of structured, tailored shorts for the warm-weather form of a suit piece.
Cargo
Cargo shorts and pants are huge this spring, and we’re not upset about it. Just think of all the pockets to hold your everyday necessities.
With these shorts, you can nail your spring and summer look in no time at all, whether you’re headed to a music festival or brunch.
