A Hawaiian shirt can conjure up images of unreasonably loud and laughable prints that range from
hurting the eyes to full-on sensory affront. Hawaiian Shirts Characters from the past ranging from Elvis
to Hawkeye Pierce gave their own mainland slant on the wearing of their Hawaiian shirts.
With the advent of Hawaiian shirt Friday, there arose a contrarian population that oppose the very idea
and existence of a Hawaiian shirt on the idea of misguided propriety. What is not good for them is
therefore not good for another and viewed from a disproportionately narrow viewpoint.
Before I went to Hawaii on my honeymoon, I can't say I held an opinion one way or another. There were
no Hawaiian shirts in my wardrobe and such clothing was something I did not seek out.Having since
been to Hawaii, I have an idea of the depth of Aloha, these garments, the people and the islands. They
are all intertwined with one affecting the other.

2. "Aloha" is used for both hello and goodbye, but it is also a state of awareness that in its best state is an
openness of heart towards others. The closest mainland concept we have is Southern hospitality, where
a proactive effort is made for the emotional comfort of a visitor, whoever that visitor may be. To "have
aloha" is to be in a state of inner harmony that affects others.
The Hawaiian Islands are something that you do not just see, you experience. It is hard to describe, but
is perfectly understood by anyone who has ever visited. Beauty for every sense surrounds you in
abundance. There is nothing, and no place, no matter how untended, that is not crushingly beautiful. It
is the islands themselves from which aloha springs, which is reflected in its peoples and is worn on the
outside.
The Hawaiian people themselves are a varied mix of populations imported from around the planet. They
have many cultures but all are fiercely proud of being Hawaiian. The Hawaiian shirt in Hawaii is known
as an "Aloha shirt" as long as it is made on the Islands and is a source of great cultural pride. Aloha is the
islands, its people and its clothing.

3. The Hawaiian shirt is both informal and informal, with the only variance to be in the overall quality of
the garment. A cheap shirt is easily distinguished by the practiced eye and is not sought out for the
workplace or social gatherings. A quality shirt from a good fabric, in tasteful prints and color schema are
worn throughout, from the clerical staff through to the CEO.
In Hawaii, a beautiful shirt is simply a way to match the beauty of the islands around you. To wear one is
not un-masculine in any way whatsoever, but rather is an expression of your inner well being and a
celebration of being lucky enough to be in Hawaii itself.
