OOHHHH....I’d actually really love to see what people say about this one.

So, I will have to confess that there are many times where I will wear a T-Shirt under my Aloha Shirt. But, I will always wear a tiki T-Shirt that matches the colors of the shirt. For instance I have a Don The Beachcomber shirt, which is black, but, has logo and words in tan across the front....and I will wear the tan and white Aloha shirt on top of it...usually unbuttoned.

I also have to confess that the reason I started doing this, is because I have been really trying to manage my weight, and with the amount of work these last few years, along with some medical conditions, I haven’t been able to exercise as much. By wearing my Aloha shirts open, I can still wear my vintage shirts.

I have noticed a few people do this at some other events, but, its not something I see very often.

Maybe, I should ask the question....Is this a “style” thing....or...is wearing t-shirts under Aloha shirts a “faux pas”? In other words, do people necessarily object to me doing that?...even though they might not say it.

And then I have also heard from some that wearing cargo shorts with Aloha shirts is a faux pas. Maybe that should go in a separate thread?

Thanks for any comments!!
