Best Hawaiian Shirts For Men In 2022

Here are some great choices to feel relaxed while wearing, whether you’re beachside or not

Magnum's Tom Selleck sleuthed in them. Beach Boys Guru Brian Wilson crooned in them. Mr. "Margaritaville" himself, Jimmy Buffett, likely even slept in them. Even Barry – you know him as Barack – Obama used to rock a Hawaiian shirt every now and then growing up in his home state. Here are our favorite Hawaiian shirts for men.

It comes in more than two dozen patterns, with a stylish box-pleated back yoke. | Goodthreads Store

Who says your shirt has to hang on you like the mast you're sailing under? This all-cotton button-down offers plenty of room in the chest, but tapers through the waist for a stylish look. Manufactured to provide that broken-in feeling on first fit, it runs a little longer than most Hawaiian shirts – perfect for those with long torsos.

For those preferring an earth tone base, this two-ply cotton-viscose shirt just looks and feels like a sunburst. | VATPAVE

The ingrained and subtle flower prints add a novel and unexpected element to the typical Hawaiian shirt's style. This is a shirt that's fit for a fiesta, luau, or even a low country boil. It's a stylish fit, too, so if you want to achieve that hang off the shoulders look, think about going up a size. Especially since it is likely to shrink ever-so-slightly upon its first wash and dry.

Another choice from brighter-than-the-sun collection, Jogal's luminous shirt is a 70/30 cotton/viscose mix that feels as cool as it looks. If you want to be a statement maker, these shirts enter a room as if making an announcement that it's cocktail time. Even if it's not, you can't help feeling an island vibe in this top.

Rubber ducks on a Hawaiian shirt? Why not – it's all about an attitude, and these stretch Aloha shirts from Tipsy Elves embody that carefree style. The shirts include a wide assortment of elaborate designs and attitudinal statements, fitting anything from a Memorial Day barbecue to a Mardi Gras celebration. We recommend the Toucan Tango Blue for a look reminiscent of the oceanic ambiance associated with Hawaiian style.
