For many, it may seem stuffy. But with the right styling, Bermuda shorts can become a fashion highlight. The straight-cut trousers, the trouser legs of which end just above the knee, set the tone for many fashionistas in spring. No wonder, because it is perfect for the first warm days in spring.

The trendy Bermuda shorts can also be found in the wardrobes of many stars. Model Olivia Palermo (37) presents her Instagram followers with a particularly chic styling combination of Bermuda shorts and an oversized blazer in beige and with a white checked pattern. Pink pumps and a matching clutch provide splashes of color.

But Bermuda pants can also be sporty and casual, as actress Julianne Hough (34) proves: she combined her khaki pants with an XXL cardigan with yellow, red and green checks. Hough wears dark red pumps, but white sneakers also go well with the outfit.

By the way: The origin of the Bermuda trousers lies in the military history of the Royal Navy, the United Kingdom's war navy. The Bermuda archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean is a British Overseas Territory. At the end of the 19th century short uniform trousers were introduced for the soldiers stationed there due to the tropical climate.
