fashion mistake? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Mossopp · 05-11-2002, 03:36 AM

Ok, let's get your opinions on this -
How unfashionable are Hawaiin shirts? Cos I've got one that I absolutley love but my mates reckon it's awful and I should destroy it. I'm going into the city today with my friends and I'm gonna wear it just to annoy them!
I don't think my shirt is too OTT - it's blue and purple with black boats and palm trees on it. It's a bit 80's but that's why I like it so much!

What do you guys think - are a Hawaii shirts a fashion no-no?

They were cool to wear in middle school (in other words, like 5 years ago). I had one. I admit. I wore it at least once a week. Shame.

Do you even know how much I have always wanted a Hawaiian shirt? I can never find one I really like though. But trust me if I did find one, I would wear it. Who cares how fashionable it is? Besides, I think they are semi-fashionable now, at least in the states. At least if you go to stores like Pacific Sunwear and a few other trendy stores, I always see them. And Hawaiian shorts too. Though they're always for men, not girls. But that never stops me, muhahaha. Half of my wardrobe (especially pants) are men's clothes.

I think it really depends on the design pattern. Some Hawaiian shorts are really cool looking, especially some of the board shorts.

Babes_Cat · 05-11-2002, 10:37 AM

Ha, ok get this. My science teacher wears a Hawaiian shirt every Friday. He's done it since 8th grade (every Friday) and he's like 23 or 24 now....... *shrugs* It's cool but weird lol.

If I found one that fit me, I'd wear it. I think they look cool *shrugs*

Swimfan85 · 05-11-2002, 02:17 PM

i had one in like 6th grade....I thought that they were sooo cool, but now I think that its not for me.....

Hawaiian shirts aren't my style, but I wouldn't make fun
of you if I saw you walking down the street wearing one.
Everyone has their own thing and I think people who wear
what they want without caring what others think are cool
and considered nonconformists.

Mijada · 05-11-2002, 03:27 PM

I don't see anything wrong with them. I was just looking through a Lands End catalog and there were a bunch of them in there in the mens section.

InspectorExstead · 05-11-2002, 09:06 PM

personally, i wouldn't wear one. i'm not into brights right now, unless it's like a bathing suit. but no one wears them anymore. excpet for on "national hawaiian day"...it was a wed. a while back. hawaiian tube tops look cool. i guess it all depends all the colors.
