    I work in IT, and my "uniform" at the office includes a Hawaiian shirt over neutral cargo pants and work boots, with a Fedora for going outdoors. I live in Florida where there are fewer than a score of days per year that require long sleeves.
    Compared to colleagues in polo shirts, I am likely to be picked out by new people as the manager in a given room, just because I'm wearing a button down shirt with a collar.
    I gave away my short sleeve solids, stripes, and plaids so I'm down to 90% Hawaiian shirts, with a few dress shirts and long sleeves for our few weeks of "winter".

    Spent much time in Hawai'i back in the late 80's. Bought more than a few suitcases full of really nice designs, and I still fit into most of them. I worked in the IT department of a large bank (in conservative New England), and wore a Hawaiian shirt every day. Eventually Corporate banned me from walking through the lobby and main offices during the day and banished me to the Ops center. Loved it! Glad the shirts are seeing some more respect these days.

    I pretty much wear a Hawaiian type shirt daily. I live at the beach, and live a rather Bond/Magnum sartorial lifestyle. Some really nice Sperry's, nice chinos, and a high end (Paradise Found) shirt with a nice Panama and I am good to go. When not wearing a Hawaiian, then a nice linen button down or a classic polo. Obviously, when wearing more formal attire the Hawaiian stays in the closet. What is funny is I have been wearing them for years. They seem to be coming back in style though. You're talking to a guy who wears Bass penny loafers too though!

    I have a collection of around 100 vintage to modern Hawaiian shirts from the 50's to modern, I would say get then from Hawaii or maybe Japan, RJC, Sun surf, Paradise found etc, also personally I think Rayon is one of the best fabrics for the shirts, not only is it very traditional but it seems to just fit better and flow better when you are wearing it.

    As a certified Florida man; a good linen spread collar shirt with flowers, pineapples, or stripes is akin to Superman and his cape. But you guys nailed it, the biggest difference between looking like a tourist and looking beach ready is in the fit, color, and how the shirt is worn.

    My experience may be very different, but while working in a rather laid-back warehouse I've actually gotten a compliment on one of my Hawaiian shirts. I usually get mine from thrift stores and pick ones with much more subtle colors, such as my ivory + dull green Tabasco shirt.

      The warehouse I work at does Hawaiian shirt Fridays, so I have several. I go with either black or blue base colors and then floral or sunset/beach patterns (I have a really nice synthwave sunset one that's just amazing). Nothing overly garish (I dress in a lot of 80's style, so that's often my thing), and I usually avoid the bright neon colors. I like 'em, and I too get compliments oh them often. It's a nice change from the usual solid black and dark blue t-shirts I wear to work daily.

    If you want a Hawaiian shirt and maximize versatility they make them in solid colors, personally my favorites are a burgundy Ralph Lauren with light green and off-white flowers, the other is a solid light blue. Both of these look great with chinos or dark wash denim, paired with boat shoes/chukka boots and they look good. Both are a heavy cotton/linen blend.

    Hawaiian shirts work in the right settings. I used to wear one in the summer months out to the bars. But I find it's a shirt that you'll rarely if ever get a compliment on, nor will you ever really give another person a compliment on theirs. It's just a loose fitting, loud-ish shirt, that works in a fun way in some environments, and no more.

I just don't see how it can be Cultural Appropriation if the propose of making these shirt was meant for consumers or tourist who travel to Hawaii at the time. I'm Cuban, live in Florida we have a lot of Hawaiian shirt from here, I am not hawaiian and still wear they're shirt, and most likely because it is very very comfortable to wear them especially in the heat. It beats better than wearing a hoodie, sunglass, and a mask with heavy duty pants and a bookbag god knows what under 98 degree weather. It just seem more logical to wear Hawaiian shirts.

    Laid back, care-free, fun/easy and comfortable in the heat and sun.
    I also live in Reno, and anything more formal than yoga pants and PJ’s are well-dressed. Jeans and a T-shirt gets comments like “why dressed up?”
    Save the suits for funerals, job interviews and christenings I say.
    If my shirt triggers you; it’s not the shirt that troubles you. If it angers the fashion Gods; so be it. I’ll know even if for a moment I’ve gotten their attention and wink back with delight and aloha.

    Like Preston, I only have one Hawaiian Shirt, and it too was a gift. I’ve only worn it a couple of times. Don’t really know if I’ll purchase any additional ones. Nothing against it, but it just doesn’t really seem to fit my style. Another wonderful Preston video. Thanks

    I wear Hawaiian shirts continuously during Summer months here in the deep South. Through Labor Day that's my look. I'm careful not to wear anything to brash or loud however. A Panama hat is always on my head as well. I wear loafers never sandals that's not a flattering look in my opinion. For slacks, white, light blue, tan, are the usual colors. I do occasionally wear a sport coat with a Hawaiian shirt which is fine look for evening wear. My only other Summer look if not an Hawaiian shirt outfit is a light blue Seer Sucker Suite. Which also looks smashingly good!

    Rayon is actually made from wood pulp, which means it can be considered a natural fibre. I’m sure that’s why it is so comfortable to wear. As a cheaper option, it could also drop that cost per wear aspect as well.

    Another reason for the increasing popularity of Hawaiian shirts on the mainland after WW 2 was the large number of servicemen who passed through the islands (or were stationed there) during that time. Many brought some back with them when they returned home.

      @@gentlemansgazette I have a pale blue one with palm tree motifs, as maroon one with palm tree motifs, two beige/cream colored ones with various motifs, and I also have a beige one with Mickey mouse motifs. That one I picked up from the Disney resort. Is it the best quality? No, but it's a fun one that isn't overly bold and it's still very nice to wear!

    Aloha Shirts are my daily lounge wear. I live in the Northeast and I wear them year round. I love them so much that I keep one in my Go-Bag. I disagree with you regarding rayon. Rayon thermo regulates so it keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Plus they dry extra fast.

    Being in sunny Singapore, the climate is ideal for Hawaiian shirts. So yes! It makes me feel manly. Lol. Hey I still have some Mambo Loud shirts with tags in my hidden wardrobe. I take a new one out every 3-5 years!
    On a more serious note, living in South East Asia, we also have Batik. These Batik shirts are a firm favourite of the late Nelson Mandela. Yes, the Nobel peace prize winner. I would like to see you guys do a video on Batik shirts. Long or short sleeved, they have a place where I live.
    Close to Singapore is also the Philippines. Thye have their famous pineapple shirts. Usually in white~ like Batik, they are worn formally and in casual settings.
    With global warming, I’m stocking up on these two options where it makes sense, where I live. I would still like to hear your opinions on these options for warmer climes.
    Take care and wear your Hawaiian shirts with pride.

    Yes I have Hawaiian shirts. I got them in Hawaii. I started owning and occasionally wearing them when I went to Hawaii with the Navy, though living in California in the early 80s made wearing these shirts a little easier. Now that I'm in Michigan, I find fewer occasions for this item of attire.
    And thanks for mentioning (without saying their name) the anti-government groups that have adopted the Hawaiian shirt as a uniform. We should be aware of them, and take care that we don't choose the wrong time to wear one of these shirts and be confused by others.
