Return to article: How to Wear a Hawaiian Shirt
on 6/30/2006 If you are a woman with one of those button-down shirts, you could always leave it unbuttoned and tie the two sides together. It's almost like a shrug and it looks pretty with a complementing camisole underneath.
on 11/22/2005 Hawaiian shirts go great with sandals, but just say no to socks! Nothing says "Hey, look at me, I'm a dork!" like wearing socks with sandals.
on 11/22/2005 Wear a Reyn Spooner brand shirt. These shirts are the formal wear of aloha shirts. These shirts are worn by business men downtown, and they are always acceptable attire at weddings. The shirts are an aloha print turned inside out, for a more muted effect. They are not quite so loud in color.
on 11/22/2005 A true Hawaiian native knows that on a good quality aloha shirt, the pattern or the design on the pocket is always continuous (or matching) with the shirt. If the pocket design doesn't match the body of the shirt, you have a cheap shirt.
on 11/22/2005 Nothing says "anal-retentive" like a tucked-in Hawaiian shirt.
on 11/22/2005 In Hawaii, buy a Hawaiian shirt that doesn't have a huge color contrast to it. Cool, light colors on a white or off-white background are easy on the eyes, and less like something a tourist would wear. If you want to look like a tourist, choose a shirt with a lot of color contrast and big bold designs.
on 11/22/2005 Your aloha shirt should have a nice, easy fit. A size "L" shirt stretched tight across a size "XL" belly looks terrible!
