This week, Paris Couture Week for the Fall 2026 season officially kicked off, and on July 7, Chanel presented its latest collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France. In his second haute couture presentation for the house, Matthieu Blazy drew inspiration from a storybook tied to Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, using the brand’s own archives as inspiration.

On the runway, the collection was a mix of sheer fabrics, rich embroidery, and bejeweled finishes. There were also soft, whimsical elements, from pearl-covered pieces and butterfly-like details to bold floral designs and statement jewelry, giving the presentation a fairy tale feel.

The front row featured a number of familiar faces, including Pedro Pascal, Elizabeth Debicki, Alexa Demie, Teyana Taylor, and Sarah Pidgeon, each bringing their own take on Chanel dressing.

Bermuda shorts have moved from being a simple summer staple to a common pieces worn by celebrities this summer. Across runways and street style moments, these shorts are no longer considered casual wear but a versatile fashion item that can be dressed up for a range of occasion, depending on how they are styled. From tailored looks to relaxed denim fits, this season is all about how creatively they can be worn.

When paired with a button-down shirt or a fitted tank top, they create a clean office-appropriate look. Zendaya has been seen in tailored Bermuda styling, including a Moschino set styled with a white shirt.

Monochromatic styling is one of the easiest ways to style any outfit and Bermuda shorts are no exception. This has appeared in off-duty styling, with Margot Robbie wearing a silk Bermuda set from Beare Park, paired with mesh ballet flats and a structured shoulder bag.

This direction adds a more casual and street-style approach to the trend. They are styled with graphic tees, cropped tops, or basic tanks, and often finished with sneakers. A lighter take on this has been seen on Hailey Bieber, spotted in off-white denim styled with a white crop top. She paired it with socks and sandals, giving a subtle schoolgirl-inspired finish.

Neutral Styling

Bermuda shorts can go with neutral-toned tops such as beige, white, or brown. This keeps the focus on shape and proportion. Tailored white Bermuda shorts were styled dark green top, a baseball cap, and heels, giving a sporty yet polished feel that blends streetwear with a refined edge.

Light jackets are not limited to colder seasons, as they can work for summer styling when layered over Bermuda shorts. In some styling cases, a neutral trench coat has been styled with a white top tucked into Bermuda shorts in matching muted tones. This gave a layered finish.

Across recent runway collections, Bermuda shorts have also appeared in more experimental forms. Brands such as Balenciaga, Hermès, Bottega Veneta, and Alexander McQueen have included the silhouette into their collections, sometimes blending it with Capri-length cuts, creating hybrid styles. Demi Moore also wore a tailored look, where Bermuda shorts were styled in a structured, in Capri-inspired silhouette, showing how the trend continues to evolve between formal and casual interpretations.
