Ready to dive in? Here’s our top three, and how to style them…

THE VINTAGE SOPHISTICATE

Our first Editor pick has all the hallmarks of a true vintage aloha-style shirt including the traditional island montage print mixed with floral bunches, all displayed in monochrome black. It’s all very Bing Crosby circa 1939 crooning “Sweet Leilani”, but re-envisioned for today in a dark, moody olive.

THE REAL RETRO

Nothing gives pure Hawaiian vibes like the iconic 60s style of a hibiscus print shirt. This sunny sky blue version is lightweight, breathable, and seriously channeling an Elvis “Blue Hawaii” moment. Just add ukulele and Mai Tais for your tropical beach fit check…even if the closest your getaway gets is a lazy backyard afternoon with friends.

Craving completion for this casual look? We got you. Like a good tropical cocktail, you just need the right mix of supporting ingredients.

EAST COAST CLASSIC

Finally, if Key West is more your port of call, fear not, this collection has you covered. This light, linen blend three-quarters shirt is giving gulf coast louche with just a hint of tropical twist.

Designer Coconut Printed Vacation Shirt $32.99

A sartorial look like this deserves an equally interesting combination of accessories. A dash of bold color and some unexpected modern nautical does the trick. We can practically hear the yacht rock from here.
