4. Bermuda shorts are appropriate business attire–when paired with jacket and tie–in some parts of the world.  And jackets and ties make men look handsome.

6. Bermuda shorts are often worn with dark dress socks and dress shoes, and yet no one mocks the men wearing them.

7. Bermuda shorts come in a rainbow of colors, and the pastels are hugely popular. And men who choose to wear pastels are obviously very secure in their sexuality.

9. Did I mention that Bermuda shorts have hems that end above the knee?  Hey, there’s nothing whatsoever wrong with showing off a pair of well-shaped calves.
