Bermuda shorts, a.k.a. dress shorts, are a type of short trousers that are typically mid-thigh in length and tailored for a more comfortable fit. They are usually made from lightweight fabrics such as cotton, linen, or synthetic materials and often feature pleats, cuffs, and pockets. Bermuda shorts are popular in warm climates because they provide coverage while still allowing the wearer to remain cool. They have become a fashion staple for both men and women in recent years.
