There’s something very alluring about “ugly” fashion. Is it bizarre? Yes. Does it make you stand out in a crowd and really turn some heads? Also yes. We often see trends that were deemed as ugly in the past resurface for a new season as totally chic. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing right now with Hawaiian shirts.

The shirt that was once only acceptable as luau-themed party attire or a dad-approved vacation outfit is now making its way into street style fashion. There’s a new surge of fashionistas pushing for this cool summer shirt to make its way into all of our closets.

Thanks to some of your favorite brands, the Hawaiian shirt now comes in an array of styles. From relaxed, short-sleeve button-ups to cropped, palm-tree printed tank tops, there’s something out there for everyone to embrace this new summer shirt trend.
