Your Daisy Dukes can lay low this summer, because their longer, preppier cousins are back—enter bermuda shorts, the sun season's current fave crop! Still, don't think that a knee-grazing length can't be sexy, because even Kelsey Merritt's wearing it, and pretty much anything she throws on sizzles. Check out how she's styling it for her seaside vacay!
All you need is a sultry white lace-up bustier top to offset the bermuda's overall modest vibe. It's a favorite piece of Kelsey's: She's worn it with double denim and a trendy faux snakeskin boot.
