Meghan Markle Makes a Really Good Case for Bermuda Shorts

Meghan Markle made headlines yet again over the weekend, this time after an outing to the Santa Barbara Polo Club on Sunday. While some royal watchers buzzed about the PDA she shared with husband Harry (and it was indeed steamy), others were more enamored by Markle’s fashion choices.

The actress and Duchess, who’s frequented the polo club as of late in support of Harry, sported a black and white polka dot blouse, black Aquazzura pumps, Valentino cat-eye sunglasses, a sheer black hat, and⁠—the pièce de résistance⁠—pleated white Bermuda shorts by Khaite, fastened with a wide black belt. The look was polished and timeless, topped with a bold red lip.

Markle’s look comes just in time to serve as outfit inspiration this Memorial Day weekend, even if your plans are more akin to a block party than a polo match. While temperatures aren’t quite at a summertime high just yet, Bermuda shorts offer a welcome alternative between jorts and full-length pants. Although the style is definitely divisive, take this royal endorsement as the necessary permission to try the look out for yourself. Below, find 10 similar pairs of shorts—some shorter, some longer, and some even under $20.
