Styling a Hawaiian Shirt The Right Way Hawaiian shirts, also known as Aloha shirts have their origin in Hawaii. They are characterized with short sleeves, bold prints, a collar, a chest pocket and are buttoned down. They mostly feature floral patterns or Polynesian motifs and are usually styled as informal wear. Men’s Hawaiian shirts are not like the usual shirts that you can style however you like. There are some things you must keep in mind when you are buying and wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Here’s how to style the Hawaiian shirt right:
Fit: You must only buy a Hawaiian shirt of your exact size. Despite Aloha shirts mostly being worn untucked, you should not buy a shirt that’s too large for you. Some aloha shirts are meant to be tucked in but they too are not supposed to be too loose. Therefore, you should always remember to get a shirt that’s in your size. Colors: Hawaiian shirts come in bold colorful prints. You can team them up with solid neutral shades to balance out the bold prints. Colors like beige, black, brown, dark blue, khaki, and white work perfectly well with these bold prints. If you are bold with your style, you can team them up with another bold solid color too. Choose a color from the print of the shirt or one that contrasts with the print. You can team up your printed Hawaiian shirt with another print. While mixing prints, remember to choose a print that is of a different color than what’s found in the shirt.
