Aloha shirt

The aloha shirt (Hawaiian: palaka aloha), also referred to as a Hawaiian shirt, is a style of dress shirt originating in Hawaii. They are collared and buttoned dress shirts, usually short-sleeved and made from printed fabric. They are traditionally worn untucked, but can be worn tucked into the waist of trousers. They are worn casually or as informal business attire in Hawaii. "Aloha Friday", or Casual Friday, a now-common tradition of celebrating the end of the work week by wearing more casual attire on Fridays, initially grew out of an effort to promote aloha shirts.
