The Hawaiian print shirt is a thing of great wonder in menswear. Season after season they boldly wrap the backs of well- dressed men, and – dare I say it – the not so well-dressed men. Often seen as a quick-fad, trend garment for summer that doesn’t have the sartorial prowess of some of its counterpart prints, such as the gingham, the macro check or the pinstripe.
More and more- the print is being met with the respect it deserves and has even seen its way into layering under key relaxed summer tailoring looks and the focal print for many a luxury fashion houses SS collections. To further contradict this wrongful accusation of it being a kitsch or unstylish item, Mr Porter have launched an exclusive capsule collection with shirt connoisseurs, Gitman Vintage.
The Gitman family has been making men’s shirts since 1932, famous for its wide range of styles and quality fabrics. The collection launches on-site today and consists of six Hawaiian print shirts, the perfect pool side garments.
Come on then summer, we are ready for you!
