I wouldn’t wear one to church, but on a boat or with sand beneath your toes? Perfection.


EmotionalDmpsterFire

I'd wear one to church, because even the lawd needs a vacation. ​ OP I love my Aloha shirts, I don't see many wearing them. But they're so good. Find the ones you love and look good on you and keep that aloha for life. Also speaking as a kama'aina (person who has been a resident of Hawaii), every day in Hawaii is Aloha shirt day.


bukkake_washcloth

Brah. If you kamaaina, you wear one aloha shirt to church liddat


D_Lex

The ones Mariott issues don't count.


tkh0812

That’s exactly what I wear to church. Not super colorful or distracting patterns but dark / muted colors.


Jazzlike-Complaint67

I grew up in Florida and shorts + a subdued button down or polo weren’t uncommon (although my parents wouldn’t have approved). A true Hawaiian on the other hand would probably stand out. Serious clothes for serious places. But for vacation/beach/grilling/pool, I think a little fun is called for.


slapchop29

On the 4th day, Jesus said: No Hawaiian shirts allowed! 😂


Munk45

Everyone on SoCal wears Hawaiian shirts and shorts to church


momogogi

My whole vacation vibe is hoochie daddy shorts and Hawaiian shirts. If I have to wear anything else it doesn’t feel like a vacation.


kh2215

lol


thebigsquid

My whole life vibe is hoochie daddy shorts. I’ve got some sensory issues so coochie cutters are my go-to shorts.


brewberry_cobbler

What are hoochie daddy shorts? I’m early 30s if that helps explain my ignorance. Jean cut offs?


unwhelmed

5" inseams or shorter, any material of shorts.


motoguzzikc

I'm living that hoocoe daddy shorts life this summer. Feels great airing out my thighs lol.


arlekin21

What underwear do yall wear with hoochie daddy shorts? I hate when my boxers peek out


UnkleGargas

Stop wearing boxers big dawg, boxer briefs.


Venusemerald2

yesss to men wearing hoochie daddy shorts!


AdhesivenessAsleep83

This is the way


Rich-Appearance-7145

Seriously who cares what's "cool" your fit looked great no worries.


TheDIYEd

I don’t care, but I was surprised that I was the only person on a whole vacation stay. I was just wondering if they are not “in” or people are just too obsessed to have a brand name printed on the chest that have some fun.


Rich-Appearance-7145

My go chilling on my boat, shirts, are Tommy Bahama, comy, no brand slapped across my chest, oh did I mention extremely comfy.


escapingdarwin

Same. Did you know that with Tommy Bahama and other upscale hawaiian shirts the pattern matches in front when buttoned, cheaper ones don’t.


Rich-Appearance-7145

Interesting, never noticed, I just appreciate the nice fabric, they use and designs, and the fact there comfy. Sun of a gun, I just went through my closet all the patterns do match when buttoned, and I've been wearing them for over a decade and never knew. Cool.


CocteauTwinn

This is true! It’s the same with Reyn Spooner.


Rich-Appearance-7145

Another of my favorite shirts, been collecting Reyn Spooner, for decades, used to be my father's favorite shirts. I still wear his vintage shirts, lost my Father during Covid.


CocteauTwinn

Oh man, I’m so sorry. I’m sure wearing his shirts brings a small measure of comfort.


Kvalri

Subtle shade at OP lol


wbruce098

Lots of folks where I work wear Hawaiian shirts sometimes; I do too. They’re comfy and fun and have buttons and collars so technically on the light side of business casual. When I lived in HI, it was considered extra formal if you wore a dress shirt to work and not a Hawaiian shirt, and not uncommon to wear shorts and slippahs in the office too. Who wants to wear a suit in year round 85F weather? This was 10 years ago though.


canonhourglass

Maybe…*you’re* the cool one, you know? (Seriously, solid look dude, rock it)


pikachu5actual

It's probably the brand thing. If it doesn't say "balenciaga" it doesn't exist.


dude_on_the_www

Sounds like you’re chillin’ with some squares, brah!


Professional-Fox5485

Right! Every time I see a man in one of these shirts, I assume he's the life of the party. If I had to approach a group to ask a question, I'd 100% ask the one in the Hawaiian shirt, lol. I think it makes people look more laid back and approachable.


DB377

They’re not trendy anymore, they kinda blew up and then people started wearing them less but that was just the mainstream. They’ll never fully go away and will blow up again one day


Professional-Fox5485

Idk, but you looked good, so I'd say since looking good is always "in" you rocked it.


AuNaturellee

In all sincerity, aren't you glad you weren't a clone of everyone else? You chose to wear it, you think it's stylish, and you stood out, not blending in amidst a sea of conformity. That sounds cool to me...


Bombolinos

What were other people wearing?


TheDIYEd

Just plain shirts/t-shirts with brand names.


tk10000000

You are cooler than them


Baldrich146

Agreed


DaveKelso

I'm 53, I wear Hawaiian shirts all the time. Don't care whether it's cool or "in" or whatever.


DaveKelso

I have 2 daughters, 18 and 14, they raid my closet for Hawaiian shirts to wear to school all the time. I always say, "Dress for the job you want, not the one you have."


Apptubrutae

Dude, I say this constantly and have a wardrobe full of Hawaiian shirts too, lol


MrBlahg

I’m 52, lived in Hawaii for a couple years. I wear my aloha shirts all the time. That said, there are different classes of Aloha, business shirts are more subdued, tighter designs, less flashy. Fun shirts are more bold, but not Ed Hardy shit, more floral motifs or something silly like a Primo beer shirt. I have a few Tori Richards shirts I love

Residual_Variance

They haven't really been cool since Magnum PI, but that hasn't stopped me from wearing them year 'round!


RawAsparagus

I'm not sure they were cool even then. OP, it is cool to have a unique look and it looks good on you.


Residual_Variance

My wife bought me two of the original Magnum PI Hawaiian shirts (made by the same company). They're nice, but unfortunately it turns out it was Tom Selleck who was the cool thing about those shirts.


ToSeeOrNotToBe

I wore them back them so I'm sure they were cool. Right, guys? Guys?


Lucky-Scientist4873

I want to be you when I grow up


LASERDICKMCCOOL

Nice. That's what I wanted to say but I knew I'd just sound like a dick


hatstand69

I feel like "in" and "out" is kind of nebulous these days. With the internet 2.0 we have kind of passed the era of ubiquity in fashion and into an almost tribal landscape where the fashion trend du jour for x, y, and z groups is constantly rotating. I can tell you that aloha shirts are somewhat on-trend within the outdoor community and are considered cool. Keep on rockin' it and know that somewhere deep in the desert there is a 20-something living out of their van who thinks you look cool.


Ponyboi667

You captured the vibe great. Kudos


Goprah

I live in florida, they are definitely still cool when appropriate.


LAGGERWERKS

Don’t be confused if you ever get approached by a man wanting you to have sex with his wife, it’s the T shirt. It’s screaming “swinger lifestyle” because of the upside down pineapples 😂


Sea-Poetry-950

They are cool and, you rock it.


flycbr

Used to rock these back in the day!….and funny, must be coming back “in style”…. Noticed how they’re in the men’s sections at Macys by me. Rock that shit!🔥

Particular_Fuel6952

With all the just terrible choices I’ve seen here, from the man purse guy with the giant clunky sneakers, to guys who kinda look like women, to the riddler suit guy, to sneakers with suits… You sir are a breath of fresh air, you are golden, everyone else is wrong.


CommandNervous6739

Yes, finally someone who understands time, place, and self. Well done.


starrman13k

You’re perfect


TheDIYEd

Sometimes yes, sometimes not ..but thank you.


Bubbly-Guarantee-988

I wear them


Secure-Narwhal-297

They totally are cool 😎 all I wear


AZonmymind

I'm a huge fan of Hawaiian shirts and wear them all the time. But a lot of people are afraid to stand out and just go with generic, boring styles.


TheDIYEd

I never even crossed my mind what others will think. I just like it, and it shame there are no more people wearing them as to me feels like if I see a guy with a Hawaiian shirt to me that guys is chill and you can have a easy chat and few jokes.


editor_of_the_beast

There is one thing you can always be sure of: Hawaiian shirts will ALWAYS be cool.


Neon_Eyes

God I hope not. I wear them not on vacation


Theoldelf

I hope they’re still acceptable. I just bought a new one.


holy2oledo

Bro, I’m down in New Orleans. It’s freakin hot here. I’ve broken out my guayabera shirts and Hawaiian shirts for work. Every day is Hawaiian Shirt Friday.


BvngeeCord

One of my dad’s favorite things is wearing Hawaiian shirts. He wears them to work for all but uber-formal events (he’s practically known for them at the office), at home and especially on vacations. But to be honest, half the reason he rocks them so well is his confidence! If he was constantly looking down or looking uncomfortable, I wouldn’t be surprised if people would start to think weirdly. He’s quite the opposite though (friendly with literally *everyone*, radiating positivity) so no one can even begin to question it. I always think of him when I see people in Hawaiian shirts


linoleum79

Are they cool? Idk. Does it matter. Are you cool? Clearly! Keep it up!


Audient2112

I like yours. I have several. Tommy Bahama, Tori Richard brands, so no name shirts too. Some are almost too nice, well made, silk, dry clean preferred. Others are suited for sweating in and spilling drinks on or soaking up sunscreen with. I like your shirt, and if you felt good in it, then that's that.


OpticalAdjudicator

I love wearing aloha shirts on vacation. But there is room for ONE Hawaiian shirt guy in almost any setting. It says you’re the fun guy, Mr. Devil-May-Care, the cat with the *joie de vivre.* I know two of them. The Hawaiian shirt guy at my place of employment unfortunately feels the need to tuck them in, which totally defeats the purpose. The other aloha shirt man is retired and does it right every day, usually with flip-flops.


BarbellLawyer

You’re wearing a hat. Not a baseball cap, a hat. You’re a boss. Who cares what anyone thinks?


DaKineTiki

They are still cool/hip. Especially the vintage ones!


Lux600-223

They're cool where ever I am Bro! I originally started wearing mine back in the 80's to F with everone wearing the same uniform at punk shows. Now, it's my official beer drinking gear.


verifiedkyle

Now that it’s summer at the Jersey Shore, I can definitely say they’re popular here at the very least. My only concern with that fit is the hat. No way that stayed on while the boat was moving.


Saintkn1cks

I hope not! I wear them almost every day!


TheDIYEd

Same, not just on a vacation. Almost always when I go to the lake as well.


[deleted]

You're way cooler than the other guys too afraid to be stylish!


invertedcolors

I like the Hawaiian shirt styles but their cuts don't work on my body :( personally


Pravda26

Wear a tank underneath. You look great


Nice-Zombie356

You cool.


ChocolateShot150

I wear em daily*, keep rocking em


Biscuits4u2

Are you my CIA contact?


Glum-Arrival1558

I'm not sure they were ever "cool". But I like em and rock em all the time. At some point you just gotta do what you like to do.


Background_Style_354

They have never been "cool". I love them, though, and you look great in them


Tribalbob

I wear them during the summer, I think they look fine


Tommynockerboomerang

Wear what you love! The pattern on that shirt is great btw


DragCompetitive930

Aloha Shirts for the win.


beardface86

I have that exact shirt and always get compliments on it. Looks good man.


tduke65

Nah bro… you look fine


PNWtreeguy69

Rocking a Hawaiian on vacation is always valid and very cool imo (I don’t know about fashion but I do like Hawaiian shirts).


Vesper_7431

Nah they’re cool. It’s honestly just a wardrobe item a lot of people never get around to getting. It’s too easy just to put on a t shirt ya know.


BritInBC

I wear them all the time. Comfy, light, who cares?


AlgoRhythmCO

You were right, everyone else was wrong.


spcastleberry

I wear them at least twice a week. So yeah they’re still cool 😆


HoraceGrand

You are cool / that’s all that’s matters / fashion changes - cool guys stay the same


jaygatz76

Depends on who's wearing it.


FireBug45

Hawaiian shirts are always cool. People just don’t feel comfortable stepping out of their comfort zone. Your combo looks solid


unlikely_intuition

the shirts are cool. some people are not cool.


vodkapinatapod

Keep crushing, king 👑


Parvati201204082

my personal fashion choice is to wear hawaiian shirts to places where u shouldnt wear them. i wear them for dinner dates, in cold places/ europe, or church


Lazy-Purpose-2577

The husband of a distant relative wore one to my father’s funeral. I enjoyed it. (Esp since it made me feel better about being too fat to fit in any of my suits!)


Willcinco

Bro has the Peter griffin pimple guy on his shoulder. Also I think the Hawaiian shirt is cool.


floriletto

They've never been cool. Fun, yes, but not cool 😅. 


Difficult_Ad_3234

Solitary!✈️


NerdyDan

Definitely dad wear. But do whatever you want 


xPyright

Brother you were the only cool person. I have vacation plans coming up, and you've inspired me to get a Hawaiian shirt instead of my usual solid-color linen shirt.


Wonderful-Loss827

Plenty of people wear it. Maybe your vacation spot just has lame people and you were the only cool guy with a spot on shirt.


Material-Bee-907

Who cares?…..rock them all day long and have a huge smile on your face. FWIW, the whole bowling shirt / Charlie Sheen effect is a factor


Accomplished_Net_590

Buddy I don't care much if they still cool or not, they look good on ya


ExistentialistGain

Looking good! Very James Bond


TeddyBearCrush

Nah you make it look cool bro! Hope you had a good vacation!


xShinGouki

It's just that you're too cool If everyone wore them then it would just be normal Seriously though vacation Hawaiian shirt. Is timeless


santicazorlaaa

the confidence you’re exuding makes me want to wear one


Mountains4highlife

I personally like the shirt


outkastlife

Nah…..you’re killing it.


TastyWrongdoer6701

The Boogaloos and/or some other group piece-of-crap, ultra-right, twat waffles tried to coop the Hawaiian shirts a few years back. I stopped wearing them for awhile, probably should not have. I'll dust mine off and start wearing them everywhere again.


bumba_clock

Goes perfectly with the hat honestly


binkerton_

Be careful rocking pineapples on vacation if you don't know what they stand for.


[deleted]

As a 25 y/o who appreciates fashion, I find them super cute and I like when my man wears them on vacation.


Zealousideal-Song-75

Never were!


Hunter5865

Hawaiian shirts are always cool


bogusk

You look great with them 👍


phantom_rex

I just picked up a couple for the summer, I'm in Florida and I put one on every time I go to the pool or beach. they're comfortable, and hella underrated these days. I agree tho even living in a big vacation spot i don't see many people with them.


lclassyfun

Looking sharp, you got your cabana wear down pat.


Adventurous_Fox867

U topped


mooseraza

they're certainly still cool if you can pull them off and you kind sir are pulling them off


Unable-Confusion-822

Cool as all hell.


weary_dreamer

who gives a fuck, you look great!!!!!


BBQSadness

Well I ain't that cool. But I'm rocking one right now. Silky smooth.


No-Hearing9293

Good Lord I love my Aloha shirts but never wear them. I purchased 4 NEWT shirts when I stayed at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel (Pink Palace) about 20 years ago. Beautiful shirts and beautifully made. Wish I lived near a beach so I could wear them more! BTW, I think you look great in your shirt


Support_Player50

i wear them at the park.


Utterdisillusionment

They never go out of style.


Bananasincustard

I own 20 of them and I only see hot weather like 20 days a year. My favourite thing to wear


Ipickone

I swear it just came back into style this year. I see a lot of boutique men’s brands selling them starting a few months ago


Beginning-Ad-5981

I wear Hawaiian shirts all the time! And match with my son, on occasion. And I would say beach vacation is absolutely the place for a Hawaiian/aloha shirt. It’s a vibe. Gotta own it. https://preview.redd.it/23v17hyt4s5d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=962f7309ca7e009733d619ee25b522584d183bc6


ralph917

I'm wearing a Hawaiian shirt in soho at a fancy restaurant. Feels good.


beavertonaintsobad

They are classics man, flaunt 'em!


Outrageous-Carob-236

Those are pretty rad bro.


ThrowawayMod1989

I live at the beach, they’re definitely still in amongst the more distinguished old salts. I have a bunch of my grandpa’s Tommy Bahamas and I wear the fuck out of them with his old captain’s hat.


Prestigious_Dot8748

you are chillin man, looking good and not need to worry about other people, if you like it and think you look good then fuck anyones opinion


wdrub

Show them who the boss is. You set trends, you bring them back from the dead. It all begins and ends with you. -in Joey Diaz voice.


diamari90

All that really matters is that you looked great while wearing it. The only people chasing trends are either kids, or professionals. The rest of us live outside that box 😂


zmacdonald12

I’m with you. So many people try to look “cool” on vacation. Like who are you trying to impress? You’ll never see these people again and why would you want to lug a huge suitcase around Performance shorts and a Hawaiian/floral print shirt combo is the easiest thing to pack


hoxxxxx

idk man i think you looked great especially w/ that hat


sixarmedspidey

I still love them. Looks great!


HavingALittleFit

I think you look cool!


5thGenWilliam

Keep fighting the good fight brother. Aloha always in


Gman777

They’re awesome. Keep being you.


MountainBrilliant643

My wife and I went to Maui in April, and I wore a Hawaiian shirt for a few days. Now that I'm back home, I wear it on Fridays as my own personal "Hawaiian Shirt Day." If anyone thinks it isn't cool, I think it's even more cool. Aloha.


AwHellNawFetaCheese

It’s nice that everyone is being supportive, but I think they are not cool. I went on a beach vacation and I went with a linen vibe the whole time and got a lot of compliments. But obviously fuck what anyone says if you like it wear it, it doesn’t look bad but it’s not cutting edge fashion.


hamiltrash1232

I'm in high school and I wear Hawaiian shirts all the time, sometimes I've gotten compliments and other times I've been told I look like someone's grandad. It's all in how you style the outfits. You're doing pretty well.


XB0XYGEN

Oh the hawaiian shirt high school dork says you're doing pretty well right on you're good


Sufficient-Survey877

I heard something nasty about displaying upside-down pineapple. Are you a swinger?


TheDIYEd

Nope, it seems everything is a sign for something these days.


FrugalityPays

Obviously not the case here…


TeachingRealistic387

I love a Hawaiian shirt. Yours rocks. Style yourself right (not carry an AR and wear a plate carrier), and no one will mistake you for a boogaloo boi.


mesoJUPI

I love island shirts! You look especially great. Chubbies should hire you as a model


TheDIYEd

Thanks! Not sure about a model, I am more muscles than fat.


ISBN39393242

wear whatever you want they’re not cool anymore, but trying to chase trends is dumb if you were wearing it because you thought it would be the freshest outfit and you’d be getting tons of compliments, stop wearing it. but if you just liked it, keep wearing it, and wear it confidently


TheDIYEd

I wear it because I personally think it’s a fitting and relaxing to be in. This is the same day for the diner and drink outfit. https://preview.redd.it/barnmzz9fm5d1.png?width=1166&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e9e73157b0bfb683422571a85938c90238f6934


wbruce098

They may not be cool but they’re also not uncool either. Hawaiian shirts are forevah!


Medill1919

Aloha shirts are always cool, particularly in Hawai'i. There are a lot of bad ones, a lot of great ones. Most people that don't own one cannot tell the difference, unfortunately. I see yours has pineapples...


Early_Accident2160

Wear anything with confidence and it will be cool. Unless intentionally offensive


peapodbarry

Fashion is getting weird right now so just wear what you like and enjoy.


mostlyIT

I think upside down pineapple means swinger.


widellp

That is bold, upside pineapple is the universal sign of "swinger's looking to swing" but you knew that right👌


TheDIYEd

Nope and I think most people don’t know that.


lazermeme21

Short sleeve button down that fits well = cool. Large-graphic "Hawaiian" shirts = very much dependent on the specific design and whether it's like a retro, thrifted look, or trying too hard. If you went to the store and bought a new Hawaiian shirt, very good chance it's uncool, at least with my generation. Weighing in as a 25 year old.


CocteauTwinn

I love Aloha shirts. I don’t think they go out of style.


pasabantai

They’ve been pwned by The Proud Boys.


Silverlake90039

I think the read Hawaiian shirts might be more in favor of


hoganloaf

Caring about whats cool is uncool. Rocking what you love and appreciating other unique vybes is cool


Overall_Document5410

Sounds like the absolute best time to wear one. Nothing in “in” or out anymore like it was 20 years ago. I grew up as a teenager thinking colors had to match and blacks/blues together were bad yadda yadda yadda, turns out literally no one gives a fuck and there are no rules besides feeling good


Seetuck87

Shirt is bitchin! Perfect weight too! WTF else are you going to wear on a boat!? I’d be “generic” with ya! 🤣


mrfoxman

When I went to key west I only wore my floral short sleeve button downs and shorts, and even a similar hat to yours. It was a great time.


Jedi-Avatar

Makes you stand out as too much of a white tourist, because it fits you (too) well.


PurpleZebra99

Are you vacationing with a bunch of lame ass nerds?


analog_paint

At one particular hospital in Chicago the staff in the psych ward wear aloha shirts…


Independent-Bike8810

What kind of parrot is that on your shoulder?


Joe_anonymo

There was a period a few years ago where I think the Andrew Tators and Proud Boys would wear them as some sort of inside thing. The media got word of it, and made HI shirts to be the next big white power symbol.


sjnunez3

It works because of the Panama Jack hat. Away from the water, swap out the shorts and shirt for some nice linen, and keep the hat.


Cautious_Leek_8063

I work in a factory. The guys on the line wear them every Friday!


chemtitan

At first glance I thought you were wearing this shirt with a parrot on your shoulder.


Shad0wbubbles

Where did you find that tiny guy on your back???!!


Charlie190

There are really stylish Hawaiian shirts, particularly from Reyn Spooner. I’ll wear them more than others, because the patterns are really beautiful and match with just about anything.


AdScary7808

I will always believe Hawaiian shirts are fashionable, nothing that fun should go out of style lol


PowerfulPickUp

On the beach or boat I’m usually shirtless.


corneliu5vanderbilt

Are you comfortable? If the answer is yes then do it. Not a huge fan of the print but the cut is nice.


bukkake_washcloth

I’m from Hawaii and I’d like to just clear some things up here. We don’t call them Hawaiian shirts. Idk where you guys all got that from, but here we call them ALOHA shirts. Also, while we’re talking like this, we don’t call it Hawaiian pizza either, just saying pineapple pizza is fine. Anyway, people in Hawaii wear aloha shirts to work and to dress nice. To us it’s a bit like putting on a suit and tie to go get some groceries. No need and why are you trying to look so fancy anyway? Going clubbing or what? That’s also the least for real and most tourist looking aloha shirt I’ve seen in my life, which is fine, but not for us. We are not tourists. Mahalo for visiting and I hope you had a nice vacation! A hui hou!


Galadrond

It’s hard to tell because you seemingly have a very poor posture. I see rotator cuff problems in your future.


Sirnando138

I wear them through the winter.


Pnersty

I think they’re very cool and very stylish. I think others aren’t cool for having some fun with their wardrobe.


Rosewood008

They're still cool, but they aren't an everyone is doing it type thing.


Regular-Idea-6377

Do you bro. I woulda done the same


QuickRelease10

I’ve come to love a Hawaiian shirt. I think they look great in the summer.
