Reserved for the mucho-relaxed, often left open to reveal a mediocre silhouette in a dirty white tank top (or simply done to signify just how chill you are)…this piece of clothing is a – probably not – “timeless staple”. In order to celebrate the charming short sleeve button-down, we made a list of the top 5 most important hawaiian shirt moments. We all know your dad rocks his the best on vacation, but unfortunately, we couldn’t get him on the list.

Everyone’s fave Steven. The comedic child legend that is Louis Stevens sported an Aloha button down /always/, either during an intense Twitty-Stevens Experience rehearsal or staying overnight at the mattress store to win a contest. My pre-pubescent self had the biggest crush on him most definitely due to his use of the hawaiian shirt.

Julian could roll around in garbage and I’d promote it. Balancing the perfect amount of drunk uncle and tacky tourist in this look, he pretty much aces it.

It’s safe to say Johnny Depp led the path for all hipster boys in bucket hats and hawaiian shirts with this look, forever raising the cool standard of the Hawaiian shirt.

I mean, who didn’t become obsessed with Leo after watching his baby face in Romeo and Juliet? All that Radiohead and romantic ~peering through a fish tank~ made it inevitable. Although his shirt could be classified as a silky Japanese-type button down, lets pretend it isn’t and let this post serve as another reason for me to mention him whenever I can.

This looks exactly like what my 12 year old birthday party would look like IF DREAMS CAME TRUE. *sigh*
