Tone Down That Aloha Shirt!

I am an aficionado of loud, tacky looking Aloha shirts, after all making and collecting hot looking shirts is what I do for a living. The louder and brighter and tacky the better I say!

Unfortunately not everyone sees the world as I do. So Wave Shoppe has slowly caved to the pressure and started putting out really muted, toned down Aloha shirts for sale online.

The brown tattoo aloha shirt pictured on the left is the poster child for muted. Its actually printed this way and is in no way a reverse print. For those that dont know what a reverse print shirt is: Its a shirt that is literally sewn with the fabric inside out with the design facing inward).

While some may like that look its a little self defeating to take something colorful and hide it from sight. Fabrics that are actually printed with subtle designs and neutral colors are the way to go. Plus no one will be asking why your wearing your shirt inside out.

This particular Aloha shirt is pretty nice, it contains blues, golds and browns and even has a shirt pocket that is perfectly matched to the shirts design.

A-Frame Hawaiian Dresses

Where oh where has the year gone! It looks like we have been slacking pretty good with our blogging, truth is that we spent a lot of the summer manufacturing inventory and attending clothing shows looking for dresses. Having said that, we finally made a decision on a particular style of A-frame Hawaiian dresses that we would like to add to our inventory.

Quite a few people seem to think that a Hawaiian dress only contains imagery exclusive to Hawaii, but the truth is that many of the garments worn in Hawaii are more tropical in design.

The tank dress pictured is called the Purple Rain Short Tank Dress and this color combination and design can be worn anywhere in the world, not just Hawaii.

We feel that we have a good starter dress inventory that we can build upon as we progress. One goal is to offer this design with 3/4 sleeves, hopefully we will have them made  by Spring of 2020

In the meantime, have a look and both the short, as well as long tank dresses already listed on the website. The dresses are made in the USA from 90% Polyester, 10% Spandex which is soft and stretchy and best of all, wrinkle free!
