The Hawaiian shirt has an unmistakable thrift store appeal—either that, or it brings to mind touristy dads weilding handheld cameras on the beach. Banish all those notions, though, because even street style's cream of the crop have declared that it's one of fashion's pieces du jour! Below, 15 ways to wear your tropical threads:
1. The beach dad staple can be sexy, girls. Unbutton to flash a tiny hint of bra, then pair with a spliced denim midi and on-trend knotted pumps.
