Pause denim shorts. If you want to stay cool this summer without sacrificing elegance, take styling tips from the ever-chic Demi Moore. The actor, who retired this week, traded in his classic cutoffs for graceful Bermuda shorts that hit his knees.
Offering more coverage than the micro shorts that dominated last summer, the longer length of Bermuda shorts inherently feels more elegant, while the calf-baring silhouette provides the lightness you need to stay comfortable during heatwaves.

To enhance the leg-lengthening effect, Demi styled her look with pointed-toe ballet flats. Although completely flat, the elongated toes subtly elongate the leg line, creating a calm and streamlined finish. She completed her look with oversized black sunglasses, a fine black knit cardigan, and a shiny leather bag.
While Demi opted for sophisticated ballet flats, we saw stylish dressers in their 20s teaming Bermuda shorts with minimalist flip-flops or delicate strappy sandals to embrace the more relaxed mid-summer trend.
