Bermuda shorts were long banished from the formal men's wardrobe. Too often associated with casual holidays or sports, they struggled to find their place in a sophisticated urban look.
At Hast, we decided to break this glass ceiling. For our Spring-Summer 2026 collection, we reinterpreted this piece by injecting it with the codes of haute couture. The result? A structured silhouette, a sharp look, and absolute freedom, even in hot weather.
The reinvention of the bermuda short: when tailoring meets summer
Why are Hast bermuda shorts like no other? Because we didn't design them as beachwear, but as true short tailored trousers.
A construction inherited from traditional craftsmanship
The strength of our new bermuda shorts lies in their architecture. We have kept the elements that make a suit trouser noble:
- High waist: to lengthen the leg and ensure an elegant fit.
- Double pleats: a buttoning and folding technique that offers volume and incomparable comfort to the thigh.
- Wide leg: to allow air to circulate without ever looking sloppy.
Finishes that make all the difference
Nothing is left to chance, because elegance lies in the details:
- Horn-effect buttons: for an organic and refined touch.
- Buttoned welt pockets: a high-end finish that secures your essentials.
- Robust zip closure: for uncompromising durability.
Focus on our two flagship silhouettes of the season
This season, we explore two interpretations of the bermuda short. Two styles, two stories, but the same demand for quality.
The pleated bermuda: your everyday ally
Available in two essential colors, the pleated bermuda short is the ultimate versatile piece.
- The fabric: a 275 g/m² cotton twill; this specific weight allows the bermuda to maintain a light drape.
- The adjustment: equipped with side adjustment tabs, it can be worn without a belt for a clean and minimalist line.
The Gurkha bermuda: the iconic statement piece
Directly inspired by military codes and British elegance, the navy Gurkha model is the strong piece of this collection.
- The 6cm waistband: it structures the silhouette and becomes the central element of your outfit.
- Cutting precision: with its marked front pleats, it offers a level of formality rarely achieved for a short garment.
How to wear bermuda shorts elegantly?
The "day at the office" look
Pair the khaki pleated bermuda short with a white linen shirt with rolled-up sleeves. Tuck in the shirt to highlight the adjustment tabs and finish with a pair of khaki suede leather loafers.
The "terrace evening" look
Opt for the navy Gurkha bermuda short with its architectural cut that speaks for itself. Wear it with a colored linen shirt and boat shoes for a contrast between rigor and casualness.
The "summer market stroll" look
Pair the ecru pleated bermuda short with a khaki cotton and linen knit polo shirt for a contrasting look and guaranteed freedom of movement. Add brown leather espadrilles for a light and breathable outfit.
