Italy’s summer 2026 fashion spotlights high‑waisted bermudas and low‑rise trousers

High‑waisted bermuda shorts are identified as a breakout item for summer 2026, praised for comfort and versatility. The length and raised waist create a balanced silhouette that works from casual daytime looks to evening outfits, paired with sandals, kitten heels, boho shirts, belts and jewellery. Designers such as Miu Miu have presented updated versions of the style.

Low‑rise trousers with thin leather belts are also returning, echoing 1990s minimalism. Actress Anya Taylor‑Joy was photographed in New York wearing black Tom Ford low‑rise pants with a slender belt, a fitted white tee and heels, illustrating the sleek, elongated silhouette that the trend offers for both summer and the following mid‑season.
