Just my opinion, take it for what it is worth: your description of "Bermuda shorts" attire is the American version which was popular during the 1950's. The version I'm discussing is the true Bermuda style, which has its roots in the British Army and is very similar to hose in Highland attire, so therefore, there is a relationship -- if you read the article, the author even mentions Scottish regiments stationed in Bermuda -- of course, hose and flashes worn with shorts/Bombay Bloomers was quite common with all of HM's Forces "East of Suez" at one time.

But, to each his own...I love the true Bermuda style shorts and hose, and would wear it in a heartbeat to work in the Summer.
