Bermuda, Bahama ...

I love all things summer. Eating on the patio of my favorite restaurant, walking in the sun with out a jacket, drinking my favorite warm-weather beverages like iced tea and iced chai, and of course - dressing for warm weather! However, it doesn't get hot where i live - which is both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes I long for days when I could go outside in the middle of May without my legs covered up.

I've found that Bermuda shorts are a great solution to this problem - they're also great for a bunch of other reasons, like if you don't want to show too much leg, or you need something a little more modest. Bermuda shorts can even be worn to the office, if done right!

Fun colors and patterns are always great for summer, and there are many vibrant options. But if you're looking for something to wear to a more conservative function - like work - it's always best to play it down. Black is a good stand-by. You can opt for a pattern, but make sure it's not too loud!

Another great thing about bermuda shorts is that - while specific incarnations vary from year to year, it's a basic style that's always in fashion!
