Think beyond their vacation reputation—Bermuda shorts have stepped off the sand and onto the style radar, cementing themselves as spring’s most versatile hero piece. Here’s a cool new take on pants that fits seamlessly into both relaxed settings and business-formal occasions without ever looking too unserious. Bermudas are seen on Winter of Aespa and stars like TontawanRebecca Armstrong and Freen Sarocha. This season, designs from COS to The Frankie Shop are reimagined, the silhouette in crisp tailoring and elevated fabrics, proving they belong as much in a boardroom as they do at brunch. In Malaysia’s year-round warmth, they’re the ultimate balance of coverage and ease. Ahead, our edit of the best pairs to shop now—and the styling notes to make them wearable for your different agendas.

Sunday Brunch & Market Stroll

Soft linen or cotton Bermudas in light neutrals or pastels set the tone for a relaxed yet put-together look. Pair them with an oversized poplin shirt, casually half-tucked, and finish with flat leather sandals or fisherman flats. A raffia tote, retro sunglasses, and a silk scarf tied in your hair make it brunch-perfect.

Gallery Opening or Daytime Event

Choose a tailored leather Bermudas, styled with a fitted ribbed knit top or sleeveless turtleneck. Mid-heel slingbacks or Mary Janes add poise without being overdone, while statement earrings and a small structured bag for a finishing touch.

The Summer Office Look

A Bermuda-and-blazer co-ord in pastel, brown, or camel is your shortcut to a modern warm-weather power suit. Layer it over a crisp white shirt or silk blouse, then add pointed-toe pumps or loafers. Keep jewellery minimal—think gold hoops or a delicate chain—and opt for a structured top-handle bag for a professional finish.

Resort & Vacation Dinner

Silk or satin Bermudas instantly elevate your holiday evening look. Style them with a one-shoulder or halter top in jewel tones and strappy heeled sandals. A statement cuff, beaded clutch, and luminous skin make the perfect companions for dinner by the sea.

Street-Style Weekend

Go bold with oversized denim Bermudas teamed with a cropped jersey tee or a boxy hoodie. For a fashion-forward twist, take cues from the street-style set and let a flash of logoed underwear peek above the waistband—it’s a subtle nod to the early-2000s revival without going full throwback. Chunky sneakers or combat boots ground the look, while a crossbody bag, cap, and layered chains deliver that street-style edge.
