That is certainly how the trope of the aloha shirt is used in popular culture. On the one hand there is the wearing of the shirt to fit in, perhaps as an expression of group identity, maybe even of positivity and open spirit: think of George Clooney inThe Descendants(which Tori Richard outfitted), Tom Selleck inMagnum, P.I., and, of course, Elvis Presley inBlue Hawaii. But, take the Hawaiian shirt out of Hawaii and on the other hand is something much darker — it’s clothing as passive-aggression, fabric as fuck-you. It’s Robert de Niro inCape Fear, Al Pacino inScarface, Frank Sinatra inFrom Here to Eternity, John Travolta inPulp Fiction, and Tony Curtis in, well, just about every publicity shot he did.

Even as worn by Jim Carrey in theAce Venturamovies, it seems to suggest a potentially threatening mania.What is perhaps remarkable about such a distinctive and regional garment is its survival into the 21st century. But as Feldman notes, as for accents, so for modes of dress: while some predicted that globalisation would prompt the demise of local accents, some studies suggest that they are in fact becoming more pronounced. And so it is, Feldman contends, with clothing. Look at the revival in the wearing of lederhosen in Germany, for example, he says. While the aloha shirt’s international popularity rises and falls on the same cycle in menswear that embraces or rejects print in general — every seven years, reckons Feldman — it never entirely goes away.
