When you think of Bermuda shorts, what comes to mind? Your cruise-going, Aloha-shirt-wearing uncle? The dark days of strict knee-length dress codes in elementary school? Literally any outfit worn by Adam Sandler ? For a garment with such visceral visual connotations, Bermuda shorts for women are a surprisingly à la mode right now. Photo by Gotham/GC Images Look no further than street style tastemakers like Bella Hadid, Irina Shayk and Simone Ashley, who have been spotted sporting these breezy bottoms on hot summer strolls. What’s more, the Spring 2024 runways were brimming with Bermuda shorts for women, from Jil Sander’s polished pleated iterations to Ottolinger’s baggy cargos to Miu Miu’s low-slung belted offerings (below). PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF LAUNCHMETRICS.COM/SPOTLIGHT So what are Bermuda shorts, exactly? The definition — like the pant itself — is pretty lax. Stylist Jaclyn Patterson recently told FASHION that Bermuda shorts have longer inseams that hit one to two...

Vacation unveils a shimmer oil for summer—with SPF! When it comes to body care, nothing says summer like a body oil that glistens. But no glow is worth skipping your SPF step. Combining SPF 30 sun protection with premium oils infused with two types of pearlescent gold mica that reflect the sun’s rays, Vacation’s Shimmer Oil SPF 30 is a one-product wonder. The brand describes it as a “black tie sunscreen” and the “crown jewel” of their iconic range of sunblock. Since it’s housed in travel-friendly packaging, you can throw it in a beach bag and lather it on for up to 80 minutes of water resistance while on vacation . Our favourite part? Its universally flattering shade leaves behind the most gorgeous golden glaze on everyone without that dreaded white cast. This luxury sunscreen-meets-body-oil will have you giving any Bond girl or Baywatch star a run for their money.

In this modern age where we can rely on the internet for hairstyling tips and reference photos before committing to a big chop, we’re able to embrace bangs in (almost) all of their forms: Blunt-cut, micro, Birkin-style — you name it. But no snipped look seems to be as currently trendy as the casually cool curtain bang. Fringes have come a long way since their less-than-admirable reputation of the past (we’re looking at you, bowl cuts), and this face-framing curtain cut comes with an effortlessness that we all seem to be flocking to the salon for these days. But how, exactly, do you style it? We tapped hair expert Jason Lee , founder of Mela & Kera and hairstylist at Jason Lee Salon, for answers. To the salon! Long before you attempt to style your bangs at home, the process begins in the salon chair. According to Lee, the term ‘curtain bang’ can be interpreted in many ways, and each stylist will have their own technique for executing them, so it’s important to bring a reference...

The temperatures are rising, which means it’s time to hike up those hems and show off your ankles. And, because this isn’t Victorian England, A) that’s allowed, and B) you can adorn said ankle with some very cute and very sparkly jewels. That’s right, anklets for women are *officially* back in style. If the last time you remember wearing an ankle bracelet was in the fifth grade and said piece of jewellery was made out of multicoloured plastic (you know the one), then you’ve been missing out. Anklets have had a major upgrade over the past several years, with brands like Paco Rabanne , Fendi and Miu Miu putting their own spin on the anklets for women trend. They’ve also been spotted on celebrity royalty like Beyoncé and Rihanna, so you know that it’s the outfit add-on of the moment.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by JENNY BIRD (@_jennybird) For many people, the draw can be nostalgic; tapping in to the feeling of freed...
