How To Get Away With Wearing Bermuda Shorts To The Office

If your office has a smart casual dress code, Bermuda shorts are a trendy option that sit well with Singapore’s climate. Here’s how you can pull it off.

October 20, 2020

Forget the notion that Bermuda shorts are strictly for the weekends. These days, they are designed in all cuts, colours, and materials to fit almost all occasions in our lives — from work to play. And since we have been spending more time working from home now, there’s no better time to try out Bermudas for work. 

Not sure how? To make them look more work-appropriate, always remember to iron them or simply opt for wrinkle-free designs; creases and wrinkles on work clothes don’t leave a good impression. At the same time, we’ll recommend shunning the super short, revealing ones, lest you want HR hot on your heels.

A simple way to rock Bermudas shorts at the office is to style a pair of black leather shorts with a white button-down that’s tucked in with brogues for a smart and stylish look. If you’re feeling adventurous, go for shorts with prints or patterns to inject a small dose of fun into your work outfit. Keep scrolling to find out how Bermudas can look great as your new workwear go-to.

A basic black pair of faux leather bermudas will never go out of style. Plus, it’ll add an edge to almost anything that you have in your wardrobe, from a floral print blouse to a simple white tee.

Or skip the black and trot out in an olive green leather pair that’ll bring a dash of office-appropriate colour into your work wear wardrobe. Wear it with a crisp shirt, boxy top or a blazer for the work week, or pair it with a cami or drapey blouse for effortless weekend style.

Prints, such as the geometric ones above, will make your work outfit more eye-catching. Keep the rest of your look pared down to avoid looking too OTT.

Pinstripes, a regular pattern on boardroom-ready pieces, exude a grown-up and sophisticated appeal. Match your pinstripe bermudas with an asymmetric top to leave a lasting impression at your business meetings.

Given Singapore’s sweltering weather, layering our clothes becomes an issue. Thankfully, there are linen shorts suits to count on, especially when your work requires you to be on-the-go constantly.

Prefer some patterns on your work shorts? Then give the undying windowpane patterns a go; they can be easily matched with a long sleeve top or knit for chilly offices.

The beauty of matching tops and shorts? They are a real timesaver on the days when you’re pressed for time. The wide-leg design is our favourite for staying comfy in the office, but not ideal for petite ladies.

A more sophisticated ruffled paper-bag-waist tailored option won’t give you a run-in with HR. Plus, the ruffled waist gives the menswear inspired look a touch of feminine fun. Go with heeled loafers or brogues for a touch of menswear-inspired fun.

Distressed denim are a no-no in most offices but their cousin, white denim looks less laidback and more office-appropriate for casual Fridays. Style it with a crisp white button-down, a cool jacket, and a pair of black slingback heels, and you’re ready to reach for the doorknob.
