Look of the Day: short and sweet

Bermuda shorts, bloomers, mini shorts, culottes, and hot pants were key items for the SS12 collections, flooding the runways with long lean legs. The Bermuda short takes centre stage on Swide this week.

The Bermuda short is an elegant and more city appropriate version of the short shorts that have excited us this season. A throwback from the twenties, the Bermuda short is a classic way to wear this season’s trend.

For a more casual look, this printed chiffon and jersey oversize tank is a girly alternative to the more serious camisole.

These bi coloured monk style sandals add some down to earth elegance to your look. While for some height these leopard print espadrilles are chic and perfectly in tune with the Bermuda mood.
