Bermuda today's Trend and it's origination

“Bermuda” is considered to be casual attire for both men and women. It is worn throughout the world wide but have we ever thought about its origination?

I would like to share some of the few associated facts related to Bermuda.

Bermuda Shorts, also known as walking shorts or dress shorts, are a particular type of short trousers. It is said that they are so-named because of their popularity in Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory, where they were considered to be appropriate business attire for men.

Bermuda shorts originated with the British Army for wear in tropical and desert climates. Post 2nd World War period, local merchants of Bermuda named Trimingham Bros. and H.A. & E. Smiths improved the design of the shorts and used variety of colours to make it popular.

One must not confused Bermuda shorts with "clam diggers" or "capri pants" which extends below the knee. Cargo shorts also may be a similar length, but are typically baggy or less "tailored" than Bermuda shorts.
