Yea or Nay: Hawaiian Shirts

On 09.24.07, In Men Fashion, by

There’s only been two men in the history of men’s fashion who’ve been able to successfully pull off wearing an Hawaiian shirt- the late, great Don Ho and Thomas Sullivan Magnum, IV (of the tv show “Magnum PI”). It is our firm opinion that these shirts don’t deserved a permanent place in your closet (unless you live in Hawaii, are of Hawaiian descent), for the following reasons:

- The bold print actually makes you look bigger, but not in the places that matter

- You will be tempted to pair it with a pair of equally loud printed bermuda short

- And you’ll be tempted to wear it under a suit (you know you thought about it)
