How to Wear Bermuda Shorts and Heels

how to wear bermuda shorts and heels

Sometimes it’s the simplest outfit formulas that feel the most polished. When I reached for my white button-down the other day for a work meeting, I decided to pair it with my denim Bermuda shorts and dress them up just a bit, with a pair of black kitten-heel mules. The result? A pulled-together summer outfit that felt effortless but still elevated. If you’ve been wondering how to wear Bermuda shorts and heels in a way that feels elevated yet still easy, this combo might just become your go-to.

Why Bermuda Shorts Work (and How to Wear them with Heels)

There’s something about Bermuda shorts that just works, especially when you want a little more coverage without sacrificing style. They’re relaxed but not sloppy, and the longer length gives them a more elevated feel. If you’ve been trying to figure out how to wear bermuda shorts and heels without looking overdone, the key is balance: keep the rest of your outfit classic and clean. This denim pair has the perfect length and structure to pull the whole look together.

The Secret to Wearing Bermuda Shorts and Heels with Confidence

A classic white button-up is one of those pieces that never lets you down. It instantly makes the denim shorts feel more refined. The crispness of the shirt balances out the casual vibe of the jorts, creating a fresh combination. It’s proof that bermuda shorts and heels can be both effortless and elevated.

Kitten-heel mules are having a moment, and I love how they bring a touch of femininity to this look without sacrificing comfort. If you’re not into towering stilettos (I’m right there with you), this style adds just the right amount of polish. A pointed toe also helps visually elongate the legs, especially important with longer shorts like Bermudas.

You could easily swap in flat sandals or sneakers for a more laid-back version, but the heels really transform this into an outfit you can wear almost anywhere.

If you’re looking to dress up your summer basics, pairing Bermuda shorts with heels is an easy way to strike that balance between casual and chic. It’s a look that feels polished but still approachable, and it’s a great reminder that we don’t need to overcomplicate things to feel put-together.
