Finely tailored and impeccably chic, the Bermuda Short is every island-hoppers fashion must-have. Originally intended for Her Royal Majesty’s soldiers, today the Bermuda Short is sewn in quality linen or gabardine in every color of the rainbow.

Bermuda Shorts Style Good morning I’m David Hampshire, the English Sports Shop, Bermuda welcome to the Store what can we do for you this morning. We have our beautiful Bermuda rugby shirts, our wonderful cotton crested sweaters, our beautiful crested Bermuda belts. We’ve got Bermuda perfumes, the original royal line, Bermuda motif ties, sport shirts, again crested. Very easy, comfortable to wear and of course the most important thing is Bermuda rig as I’m wearing, the blazer, the shorts, and the knee socks. It all began in the beginning of the 20th Century when the British Military officers that were stationed in Bermuda found the wearing long trousers was just too warm in this hot climate and so they were given permission to cut off at the knees then hence Bermuda shorts were born. The officers would look strange wearing just their shorts so it was decided that they would wear knee socks to finish the outfit and we Bermudians, we’ve adopted the same thing and it gives us a great formal look and it has become our national dress and we’re proud of the fact that shorts are known as Bermudas throughout the world. Well let’s get down to business. Here we have the Bermuda short. I’ve laid out few of the colors that has a formal ham in it of at least two inches. That’s actually essential to keep the right balance and the right drape. Then we have the beautiful island colors. Look at this yellow, coral. This coral happens to have pleats for the person that wants a little fuller figure. For the more conservative person, here we have khaki Bermuda blue essential another wonderful color for weddings. We sell a lot of these for people who get married in Bermuda shorts. Beautiful contrast between the Navy blazer and you see here a beautiful Navy blazer with a pink and three or four inches of knee between here and the knee sock and this is the start of a very happy marriage believe me. And then you have could you imagine me wearing this and me wearing this? No, I don’t think so. It’s a cut off version of a trouser so when the man or woman was going out to dig clams she rolled out here trouser bottoms and then some bright fashinista decided let’s cut off and make them a fashion statement and here they are. I love them on women but on men, not in this establishment. You can see from the array of colors that I showed you in the shorts. We also do them in jackets and we also coordinate the ties, you’ll see that this beautiful lime green jacket. Imagine that on a summers evening with a pair of beige or Navy shorts. The colors basically are inspired originally from the colors of the ocean and this is why this color here is called ocean breeze. We have waves breaking over the reefs this one came directly from shades that we picked up from that the Bermuda Blue is a shade that we again took from some of the swirling of the green and the phosphorescence in the water that gave us the blue. Coral, well that started in the same area. I mean what a gorgeous jacket that makes for the pair of navy blue shorts, beautiful tie, great dashing look for a man, but it started out from the color of our sand. We just took a little bit of the sand and played around with it, wonderful, wonderful colors. These jackets that I’ve shown you today. We coordinate them with the shorts, a Bermuda tie and that’s what people enjoy wearing out and it is so cool to wear in this hot sunshine.
