Elle Fanning is known for bringing sophisticated designs to the red carpet. Her everyday style, however, favours masculine-cut pieces, blazers, jeans and elevated basics that align with her sweet and sophisticated aesthetics.
In New Jersey, where she is filming the series Discretion, the actress opted for structured bermudas in beige, fitted just above the knee and with a cut that follows the line of a suit trouser. The style reflects how classic pieces are regaining popularity after years away from the runways.
Bermudas of this type—with the right balance between formality, length and fabric—have become favourites of fashion editors who have adopted the old money aesthetic for their sober and timeless silhouettes. They work as a transition between seasons by offering a longer hemline than shorts without jumping the gun on autumn trends.
Fanning completed her outfit with a white short-sleeved t-shirt, a design that allows for layering pieces as temperatures drop. High-waisted bermudas, made from lightweight fabrics such as linen, work equally well with trench coats, bombers, loafers or heels, positioning them as an essential basic in the capsule wardrobe.
