Hawaiian shirt: how to choose and what to wear?
A positive Hawaiian shirt is the best sign of a serene and relaxing holiday. Such things literally radiate comfort - they are spacious and comfortable to wear, do not restrict movement. Many people are attracted by the bright colors of these products. In today's article, we'll take a look at all the features of Hawaiian shirts and find out what to wear them with.
Peculiarities
Nowadays, store shelves are bursting with a variety of things, made in all possible styles. From this huge assortment, "good-natured" Hawaiian shirts stand out, attracting attention with their positive and rich colors. Such clothes can differ in cut, and in the shades used, and in various little things like buttons.
Modern models of Hawaiian shirts mainly have straight fit, short sleeves and button fastening... The main distinguishing feature of these products is in variegated colors, as well as "live" prints and patterns in a tropical key. Initially, such things were decorated with images only in the ethnic direction. In the 60s, modified Hawaiian shirts appeared and began to go on sale, complemented by parrots, pineapples, coconuts, floral arrangements and palm trees.
Nowadays, you can purchase such models on which there is a considerable number of various thematic drawings. The most common specimens with colorful tropical birds, animals, palms and colorful flowers. Usually these images are drawn against the background of a blue sea or the setting sun.
Other varieties of Hawaiian shirts are also produced, on which there are drawings of various gadgets, cars, football symbols, drinks or food - there are a lot of options. All of the designs on the woven backing are eye-catching because they show clearly visible details and rich colors.
The main advantage of the men's Hawaiian shirt is its loose fit. Fitting to a specific shape is not required here. Usually such shirts are worn outside, therefore they do not restrict the movements of their owner at all, giving a feeling of freedom and lightness. For sewing, fabrics such as viscose, silk or cotton. When soft and cool matter touches a hot body, it creates special comfort and brings a lot of pleasant sensations.
Some manufacturers, in order to reduce the cost of production of such clothing, make Hawaiian shirts from more affordable polyester. Outwardly, this material may look like silk, but in fact it has nothing to do with it.
Another distinctive feature of Hawaiian shirts is the presence of buttons. If the item is indeed from Hawaii, these pieces will be made from coconut shells. Present on such clothes and chest pocket. Professional tailors make Hawaiian shirts so skillfully that these pockets completely merge with the shirt itself and are invisible at first glance.
Where to wear?
In Hawaii, such shirts with bright prints and short sleeves have long become common clothes for all occasions, and on vacation somewhere in Indonesia or Bali, they will be appropriate. But it is better not to go to work in Russian offices in such an outfit. People in creative professions can break this rule, but in any case it is better to choose a thing with more muted shades and combine it with high-quality cotton pants (of course, if the weather is hot).
The Hawaiian shirt is a win-win leisure wear.It is suitable for walks, long trips, picnics, concerts or music festivals.
Varieties
All tourists and vacationers should take into account that Hawaiians are divided into 2 main types.
- Beach. These are lightweight and loose-fitting pieces that are usually combined with the same oversized shorts and flip-flops. Such clothes are often worn when going to a summer cottage, to the sea, or just on vacation outside the city.
- Resort... Instances that differ in part with a fitted silhouette. Sewn from expensive and high quality materials, finished with natural fittings, made under the resort theme.
Sometimes you can wear a "Hawaiian" as an evening dress, but for this, a quality shirt made of shiny and expensive silk is best suited. For this reason, fantasy prints will be in place, but they should be more restrained in comparison with daytime or beach-style products.
What to wear with?
The Hawaiian shirt goes well with light Bermuda shorts with a loose cut and matching texture.
Shorts do not have to be as colorful and embellished with prints as Hawaiian. On the contrary, it is better to choose a high-quality one-color model, the color of which will overlap with the prevailing color of the shirt.
A good tandem is obtained from a bright Hawaiian and light trousers of a light shade. Optimal models in the style of safari or colonists. Chinos-type products also offer a huge selection of colors.
Slightly fitted resort "Hawaiian" can be combined with thin jeans of light shades, light trousers and shorts. As for footwear - soft varieties of shoes (like topsiders), summer sandals, slates or slippers harmoniously "flow" into such ensembles. Resort ensembles can harmoniously fit into an informal atmosphere.
Who can and who can not wear?
The Hawaiian shirt attracts a lot of attention thanks to its rich colors and expressive prints that are hard to miss.
Scarlet, green, turquoise, yellow - the thing will look gorgeous only on a slender figure with a beautiful even tan.
You have to understand that Hawaiian shirts are not suitable for everyone. These things "don't like" pale skin, flabby muscles, and a big belly. Men who have planned a vacation should definitely take this into account when preparing clothes for a vacation trip. While there is still some time left, it is better to visit the gym to meet the start of the season in good physical shape.
How to choose?
Hawaiian shirt, like any other clothing, must be chosen carefully and deliberately. First of all it is important to immediately determine where exactly you plan to wear it... If you need a thing for the evening, then you should choose a model made of thin and expensive material, for example, silk. If you want to put on a "Hawaiian" when going to the beach, then you can purchase a simple version of the free cut. The resort model will look a little more impressive.
Try to buy products that sewn from high quality and natural materials. It is pleasant to walk in such clothes, and it looks more attractive. On a cheap shirt made of second-rate fabrics, bright "tropical" colors may not last long - they will begin to fade after the first washings. Consider the dimensions of the product as well.
It is not recommended to buy a free-cut Hawaiian shirt that is 1-2 sizes larger.
Try to choose the optimal model from high-quality branded options... Branded Hawaiian shirts are not so common. If you want to buy a really high-quality item, then it is better to go to a boutique or find and purchase a model from a direct supplier (products made in the USA are considered good). Of course, a branded product can be quite expensive, but it will last much longer and will not lose the same brightness of colors.
