HIGH-WAISTED BERMUDA SHORTS FOR WOMEN

There's a particular ease to slipping on a pair of high waisted shorts that actually sit right at the waist and skim down to the knee. The fabric settles against you without clinging, the straight leg swings free as you walk, and you feel put-together whether you're headed to brunch or wandering a market on vacation. This is the kind of pair you grab without thinking twice.

The high waist shapes a clean line through the middle, while the straight, relaxed leg leaves room to sit, stride and move through a full day. A structured waistband and sturdy stitching mean the shape holds through season after season of wear, so these short shorts don't stretch out or lose their form in the wash. Two easy shades, light blue and gray, work with almost anything already hanging in your closet.

These bermuda shorts women reach for all spring and summer are just as at home on a weekend getaway as they are on an ordinary Tuesday of errands. Wear them with a loose top and sandals for daytime, or tuck in a shirt and add a sandal with some height for something a little more pulled-together come evening. Sized from S through 2XL, the regular, true-to-size fit suits a wide range of shapes.

Simple and dependable, this is a pair you'll pull from the drawer again and again once the weather turns warm. A grounded, easy choice for the season ahead.

Machine wash cold, hang dry.
