An essential isn’t essential unless it’s versatile. It should pull its weight, appeal to any personality, and fit in seamlessly with various aesthetics. To put this theory to the test, we’ve asked three Vogue editors to style the same piece, each in their own way.
Officially in the heat of summer, it’s time to put away the long tailored pant and reach for something cooler and more comfortable: the Bermuda short. At the Vogue offices, it seems like an unspoken rule that the silhouette has quickly become a staple in our summer wardrobes—taking inspiration from the spring/summer 2026 runways. Fforme, Loewe, and Dries Van Noten, all sent their own take of the style down the runway as a spin on relaxed tailoring. Normally worn a little baggy, to give that cool girl effect, the tailored piece remains polished while the length adds a laid-back energy. You’ll often spot Libby Page, Vogue’s shopping director, in a pair styled with heeled flip-flops and a silk blouse. Consider this your sign to add to cart, as the market is brimming with new styles from luxury brands to great high-street finds for under $300.

“These Bermuda shorts hit perfectly below the knee, which makes them the ultimate wear- to-the-office short. If I’m wearing shorts, I love to add a small heel for height and style with a long sleeve for balance.”
