Back in the day... California surfers used to call men's rayon Hawaiian shirts "silkies" because they were soft and comfortable. Even today they are just referred to as Hawaiian shirts (or tropical shirts) on the mainland and some people simply refer to them as vacation apparel.
But if you're a true island native, you probably know the actual origin and nomenclature of these shirts, which were originally called a Palaka shirt or Aloha shirt as the purists would refer to them. Palaka was a checkered print and the cloth of choice. It was a Hawaiian staple made from a unique material named Tapa. Regardless, you still need to know how to wear them, read this article on how to wear a Hawaiian shirt and you will be a expert on Hawaiian style!
