Are Aloha shirts in style on the mainland?
Just wondering. Everyone at Trader Joe's is wearing them.

1. I don't think they're ever....
"in style." I do know some people who wear them during the spring/summer, though.

2. What's "style"?
I think an island shirt looks great when you wear it in any place except in a vacation destination. We live in a community that gets a lot of tourists, and few things look more dorkish than a tourist on vacation, wearing an island shirt, Bermuda shorts, black socks and Birkies.

5. Shoot, so I shouldn't wear mine today?
I haven't been drinking and I'm not rich.

6. If you're drunk, you always look good.
And being rich is fashionable enough in its own right, that nobody cares how you dress.

7. not in Kentucky
But I really don't give a shit,I may just wear one today. Here in redneckville the manly men wear blue jeans, sleevless shirts and work/cowboy boots in the middle of august(90+degrees). I do get some funny looks when I'm sporting aloha shirt, shorts and sandals.

12. Had to convince SO to start wearing them
But a few compliments from the ladies at work, and now they're a staple of his summer wardrobe!

He's a big fella (quote from friend who didn't recognize him "jeez, I saw you comin' in the door, and I thought somebody owed somebody money!"), and prints on a black background look great on him.

Also palm trees - love the ones with palm trees
