5 Ways to Style Your Favorite Aloha Shirt

Aloha shirts are a timeless way to encapsulate deep rooted heritage and celebrate the art of Polynesian ancestry in an everyday garment. Not just for men, the aloha shirt can be a signature staple in anyone’s wardrobe. They’re expressive, easy to style and versatile. Our aloha shirts are designed with women in mind and can be worn for any occasion. Below, we’ll show you five ways that you can style your shirt.

1. Tied at the Waist

This look is timeless and sweet, it can be done with any aloha shirt. Simply leave the last button or two undone to give yourself some slack for the tie. Pair this with jeans, wide leg trousers or a skirt. Complete the look with sandals, a seashell necklace and bangles.

2. Open and Layered

Add a layer of interest over any tank or fitted dress with an unbuttoned Aloha Shirt. This pop piece will add depth to a solid, otherwise basic, dress or tank and give it the right amount of character. Finish your styling with a flower in your hair.

3. Buttoned Up and Untucked

Traditionally the Aloha shirt is left untucked, fully buttoned for maximum comfort and to show off the intricate prints. This classic way to wear the shirt goes with anything- jeans, shorts, skirts, trousers, capris- the list is endless.

4. Buttoned, Tucked In

I’m a fan of the tucked-in Aloha shirt—it’s my go-to for a clean, confident look. While I usually style it with jeans and a belt for everyday wear, it’s versatile enough to pair with everything from a sharp pencil skirt to relaxed slacks or a peasant skirt.

5. With a Lightweight Blazer
