The game changer: A Hawaiian shirt

Hot on the heels of ugly sneakers, belt bags and the rain mac, a Hawaiian shirt is set to become the latest unlikely addition to your closet, with powerhouse label Gucci, London label Richard Quinn and New York-based cool kid Paradised leading the wave. Part of the allure of this trend is that it’s a joyful piece that comes with a dollop of irony. All you need to know is that fit is key – you want it to be oversized, so it looks like you pilfered it from your dad’s personal vacation collection. Wear it over a bikini when you’re on the beach or with bleached denim to conjure up island vibes on a gray day.
