Although the term "Bermuda shorts" seems to be bandied about in connection with any knee length shorts, the true version of Bermuda shorts are actually a form of mens formal wear. Properly worn with knee high socks and a collared shirt, they can be made more formal with the addition of a tie and even more formal by throwing a blazer in the mix. A large proportion of men with white-collar jobs sport these shorts to the office regularly during the summer months, although with varying degrees of formality - ranging from a no socks, boat shoes and a golf shirt combo all the way up to blazer-level. It takes a while for a newcomer to the island to stop smirking at the sight of these outfits about town...but after a while, you hardly notice it.
Here's Dave's Friday-casual look (no tie). (Those wild & crazy British blokes are much more apt to sport pink than their North American contemporaries.)
(When you look at this shot, imagine a lot of accent-riddled moaning about having to take posing direction and the pain endured in holding a smile for such a long period!)
