A couple weeks ago, if you had given us a Hawaiian shirt we probably would have said nope, never, no thank you and passed it right along into our to-donate pile. The look has been a fashion no-no for as long as we can remember, seen only on tourists with cameras around their necks and sunscreen-whitened noses, or perhaps more embarrassingly, our Dads. Leave it to our favorite fashion designers to remind us once again to never say never when it comes to style.  

This year’s resort collections from Stella McCartney, Suno and Marc by Marc Jacobs all feature luau-ready looks in super-funky island prints and, yes, we dig it. If you’re getting ready for a tropical vacay, embrace the locale and deck yourself out in Hawaiian prints. But even if you’ll be spending the season nowhere near the ocean (sad days), you can feel totally beachy with the style. Rifle through your Dad’s closet for an over-sized Hawaiian shirt and try rocking it as a coverup by the pool, or wear it buttoned up with your fave denim short-shorts,  gladiator sandals, a high bun and a pair of Ray-Bans for a perfectly casual daytime look. No luck on your Hawaiian shirt search?
