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.

List of Top Hawaiian Shirt Designs for 2014

With a plethora of Hawaiian prints (in sometimes up to 6 colorways) being churned out by this manufacture and that one, choosing a good design for your personal Hawaiian shirt can be a monumental task. Our approach to choosing what to print (or what not to print) is relative simple. When it comes to men's Hawaiian shirts we primarily think about how to match Hawaiian clothing as well as incorporating select customer demographics into our decision.

If we had to pick the top colors for men's Hawaiian shirts based solely on sales numbers we would have to say that blues, purples, greens, browns, and lastly honorable mention for whites, are amongst the top picks for 2014 Wave Shoppe’s most popular shirts in those colors are as follows:

 

Pictured on your left is a blue Hawaiian shirt with pineapples. A good choice for guys that like a bit of a toned down look that's not quite a reverse print.

Next we have a beautiful purple Hawaiian shirt in a men's cut. This is a big customer favorite, especially with the men that wear khaki shorts, as well as wedding parties.

Green is another  popular color that pairs up well with khaki or sage pants as well as looking good on men with brown or darker colored hair.

Last, but not least, we have brown. Brown Hawaiian shirts are always sophisticated looking but when you incorporate a tribal design in to the shirt you end up with a more than stellar looking garment.
