Best Bermuda Shorts For Women Over 50

What Are Bermuda Shorts

According to Wikipedia, Bermuda shorts, known as walk shorts or dress shorts, are a type of short trousers worn as semi-casual attire by both men and women. Bermuda shorts are generally longer in length, so I would look for a 9-inch inseam or longer. If you are petite, Bermuda shorts in petite sizing will generally have a shorter inseam.

Why Wear Bermuda Shorts?

The perfect pair of Bermuda shorts is comfy and stylish. And let’s talk about that length—hitting just above the knee? Perfect! They provide enough coverage to feel confident but still show a bit of leg.

The best part? You can rock them for anything! Whether I’m out running errands, meeting up with friends for lunch, or just working around the house, Bermuda shorts make me feel casual while still being put together. They’re the chameleons of summertime fashion. Dress ’em down with a tank top and flip-flops, then switch to a blouse and block heels for a dinner date.

Oh, and did I mention how flattering they are? Seriously, if you’re not feeling super confident about your legs or thighs, these shorts are the answer. They’ve got that relaxed fit that just works for pretty much everyone.

Straight-Leg Bermuda Shorts For Women Over 50

These colorful Bermuda shorts are a great length. I love the straight-leg style; this look is flattering for my silhouette. They aren’t too tight or too loose; they are just right. These shorts have pockets and are a pull-on style.

Slim-Fit Bermuda Shorts For Women Over 50

White shorts are what I wear most in the summer, so I’m styling three different ones in this post. The 10″ slim-fit Bermuda shorts hit just above the knee and look great for most body types. If you are Petite, you can look taller by tucking in your top or wearing a cropped top.

This navy elbow-sleeve henley shirt is from several years ago, but this year’s version is very similar. I think it looks simple but polished. Navy is a great neutral and can be worn with almost anything. I love wearing gold jewelry, which looks perfect with the navy top.

These are the same Bermuda shorts as the white pair. Some ladies prefer not to wear white, so I wanted to style a navy pair for a different look. If I wear navy on navy, I would probably add a kimono or a cardigan to add visual interest.

Wide-Leg Bermuda Shorts For Women Over 50

Since pleats are trending, I wanted to include them in this round-up for the best Bermuda shorts for women over 50. I’m personally not a fan of pleats since I tend to hold my weight in my stomach area, and I think the pleats draw attention to my problem area. I do think these shorts are very cute, and they would be so easy to dress up! I love this gorgeous green color, which looks fabulous with the navy henley shirt, but they come in a host of other colors.

Denim Bermuda Shorts For Women Over 50

Denim shorts are hardy and can take a beating. I love wearing shorts like this if I’m outside working or know I’ll get dirty. Of course, you can wear these shorts anytime to run errands, lounging around the house, etc.

White On White

I love wearing monochromatic outfits since they create a long, lean silhouette, so I loved this next look. White on white is a look I love wearing in the summer months. I usually add a cardigan, jacket, or cardigan to the look to add a bit of interest, like I did with this kimono style top.

These shorts fit nicely and are a bit loose, which I like when wearing white shorts. This helps to ensure you can’t see any undergarments through your shorts, but make sure to always opt for a pair of nude panties to be safe.

Classic Black Bermuda Shorts For Women Over 50

Bermuda shorts are a classic style. So, I decided to style them in a classic black-and-white look. These NYDJ shorts are a bit too big for me, so I should have ordered my usual size 8. I like the look of the shorts, and that they have pockets.

10″ Bermuda Shorts For Women Over 50

I already own these 10″ Bermuda shorts in dark yellow, and I wanted to try the olive ones. I refused to wear Olive for years, and now it is one of my favorite colors. Your taste and style constantly change, so don’t be afraid to try new things.

This white henley shirt is the same as the navy one at the beginning of this post. I always need white shirts to wear, and I like the casual style of the henley.
