Is Hawaiian Shirt Offensive?
Whether something is (or isn’t) cultural appropriation is generally decided by the culture to which the item belongs.
There does not currently appear to be a strong sentiment among Native Hawaiians that the shirt should not be worn by non-Hawaiian people.
This is likely because a Hawaiian shirt isn’t a religious or historically ceremonial item of clothing.
Therefore, it’s usually okay to wear a Hawaiian shirt, and also recommended if you want to be known as a debonnaire!
