If you’re like most college girls, you probably have a go-to casual summer uniform, and chances are that that uniform includes short-to-mid-length denim shorts. And, while this easy-to-wear staple will always be a summer classic, sometimes it’s fun to switch things up! Enter: denim Bermuda shorts.

This shorts style, which has seen a big resurgence during recent months, is a great way to transform your summer look with minimal effort. It’s also a great option for those who might not feel as comfortable in shorter shorts, whether for modesty-related reasons, or just because they prefer the way longer shorts make them look and/or feel.

And, while Bermuda shorts might remind you of the unironically “frumpy mom” aesthetic, rest assured that you can wear them in a cool, modern, and trendy manner. (See for reference: This recent photo of Hailey Bieber looking youthful and super-chic in a pair of denim Bermuda shorts.)

Note that, for all three looks featured in this article, I chose to go with shorts with distressed details. This is because these accents help give longer-length shorts a more youthful and of-the-moment feel than their plain counterparts. (That said, they could be replaced with a non-distressed pair if you’d rather go for a slightly more formal and classic vibe.)

As well, for all of the looks, I went for shorts with a slouchier, more “boyfriend”-esque fit. This style is most comfortable for all body types and is also, again, the most modern-looking. (Style tip: If you’re having trouble finding a distressed, slouchy pair of denim Bermuda shorts, just buy a regular pair in a few sizes larger than what you’d normally wear. Then, use a pair of household scissors to cut about an inch off of the hem to make it look distressed. Or, if you’re feeling crafty, refer to this more detailed guide on how to distress your denim.)
