Bermuda

The story goes that during the 17th century, authorities enacted laws requiring men to wear long pants. However, due to the tropical climate , this was uncomfortable and impractical. To solve this problem, the island 's inhabitants chose to cut their long pants at knee height, thus creating a new style that allowed them to feel cooler and more comfortable despite the heat and humidity. This is how this garment, distinctive of the island, emerged, and eventually they called it "Bermudas."

As time went by, berumdas began to be worn as part of formal attire , even by business people. The term "Bermudas" spread beyond the island and came to be used to refer to this specific type of shorts throughout the world. Today, they are a popular casual clothing option in many regions and are especially worn in warm climates during spring and summer.

In those regions where temperatures do not remain high throughout the year, Bermuda shorts shine in the summer . When it is cold, however, they lose popularity since they leave part of the leg exposed and do not provide shelter.
