Unless they [Bermuda Shorts] were worn correctly, Ron.

Then Bermudian businessmen got out of their wet long trousers in the heat of Bermudian late spring, summers and early fall, and into dry, airy, cool, Bermuda Shorts. They also added their own versions of the original British military knee length socks, also with the "turn down" at the top - but not in khaki, in colors borrowed from the distinctive long stockings worn for hundreds of years by the Scots - and sometimes with fancy tassels as well. They spurned the British style "brothel creepers" for American made loafers in brown or black, complete with tassels. They took to wearing a tie with a short sleeved white shirt - and added the jacket. Thus was the Bermuda Shorts ensemble born, in its absolutely correct completeness.

emphasis mine.
Someday I will own a pair of correct Bermuda shorts to wear with my blue blazer.
