Bermuda short - A close-fitting short that comes down to the knees. They are also known as walking shorts or dress shorts, are a particular type of short trousers, now widely worn as semi casual attire by both men and women. The hem can be cuffed or un-cuffed, around 1inch above the knee.
They are so-named because of their popularity in Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory, where they are considered as approriate business attire for men when made of suit material and worn with knee-length socks, a dress shirt,tie and a blazer..
A true Bermuda shorts can't be confused with "capri pants" and co because their difference is clear. "capri pants" extend below the knee. Cargo shorts may be similar length, but are typically baggy or less "tailored" than Bermuda.
