Hawaiian shirts
Loud vacation tops
Hawaiian shirts are loose-fitting, short-sleeved button-up shirts with bold, colorful prints—typically featuring tropical flowers, palm trees, or beach scenes.
Originally from Hawaii, they signal casual warmth and vacation mood.
The style walks a line between genuinely relaxed and ironically tacky: He wore Hawaiian shirts to the office every Friday.
Also called aloha shirts.
