Mindy Kaling Teams Denim Bermuda Shorts with a Bra for Skin-Baring Outfit of the Day: 'What Do You Think?'

Mindy Kaling just made a convincing case for jorts.

This week, the actress-producer shared on Instagram that she’s been experimenting with Bermuda-length jean shorts — yes, the nostalgic to-the-knee bottoms of fashion's past.

In photos shared on Thursday, Kaling paired her mid-wash Bermuda style (which had a lace trim) with a bra, pinstripe blazer, frilly white socks and loafers.

"This is one of those looks that would be best photographed with no bra but it was just a 'I’m not taking my bra off' day," Kaling shared.

"Also: never worn Bermuda length shorts? What do you think?” she asked her followers. 

She isn't the only star in the celebrity moms club who've given jorts a go. Last summer, Kourtney Kardashian entered the Bermuda shorts chat when she was instructed to wear her pink jorts for a Barbie movie date with her kids.

In the fashion world, Kaling's become known for her stylish Instagram pics.

Last year, The Sex Lives of College Girls creator modeled everything from colorful Andie Swim bikinis and one-pieces (from her epic collab) on the beach to rocking a custom Manish Malhotra gown boasting 4,000 Swarovski stones and crystals on the red carpet. 

And these she's leaning into patterns. On Instagram, she’s worn a few printed pieces, including the Libertine shacket covered in utensil motifs that she wore in Texas not too long ago.

“Not since Beauty & The Beast has kitchenware been so joyous. Even the insane Austin wind couldn’t whip this off of me!” she joked of the kitschy outwear. 

As we head into spring, Kaling’s playful fashion is a reminder to always have fun with dressing up.
