Here's why 'mom shorts' are the hottest look of summer.

Meet summer's hottest trend!

Next time someone tells you you're wearing "mom shorts," go ahead and thank them for noticing, because the flattering shorts style is trending like crazy for summer. Much like the term "dad jeans" or "mom haircut," mom shorts could be interpreted to mean frumpy or unflattering, but this look is anything but. (Being 2018, there's already a parody video in dedication to that idea.)

Mom shorts, aka Bermuda shorts, vary in length, but they're most often cut just above the knee and are sometimes belted at the waist. Vogue pointed out the trend and came up with the cheeky name, but longer length shorts in general are nothing new.

In fact, trendsetters ranging from Gigi Hadid to the ever-timeless Jacqueline Kennedy have all given the more modest look their stamp of approval. And who could ever forget Julia Roberts' fetching red pair in the film "Pretty Woman"?

Whether you're looking for a bit more coverage from the sun or are just sick of short shorts, Bermuda shorts are a refreshing look for the summer. We're already crushing on these flirty options!
