These Posh New Zara Shorts Are Trendier Than Your Denim Cutoffs

Don't worry: I would never advocate for getting rid of your favorite denim cutoffs. However, if you're searching for shorts that are both trendier and more polished, look no further than Bermuda shorts. After perusing options from all of our readers' favorite brands and retailers, I decided that Zara has the best selection right now. When trying a new-to-me trend, I prefer ordering several options from one site so I can take advantage of free shipping and make returns easier, so that's why I'm zeroing in on just Zara right now.
Below, I rounded up Zara's chicest Bermuda shorts. The selection includes several versions in linen, which is my favorite fabric to wear in the spring and summer because it's lightweight, breathable, and wicks away sweat. However, I also included iterations that are dressier in case you want to wear Bermuda shorts to the office in the coming months. Scroll down to shop my picks starting at $46.
