The Chilly Hawaiian

Brr, its a chilly morning here, we're not all that used to cool weather. I was looking over the Wave Shoppe Hawaiian shirts webstore and came across a nice Hawaiian shirt that woudl be great for the holiday.

Its a mans Hawaiian shirt that has white orchid flowers and red hibiscus flowers, along with some palm leaf. The "Hawaiian Gardens Hawaiian shirt" certainly has lots of pop and initially looks a tad loud, but people like loud shirts.

Its the authors personal opinion, but if your going to be hanging out by Christmas decorations you want your clothing to stand out. In general its expected that colorful items will dominate the landscape, this mens shirt does the job quite well, we know its partially because of the black cotton that the design is printed on.

But different strokes, for different folks they say, if your wanting something less visible then have look at all of the Hawaiian shirts offered for a man in Wave Shoppe's mens clothing department.

There is also a few tropical accessories that look good with that style of mens clothing, as well as items for the ladies such as footwear, dresses and Aloha shirts, lots of Aloha shirts.

Men Wear Red for Christmas

Like it of not, the Christmas holiday is just around the corner. People have already started their Christmas shopping (gasp), and before Halloween and Thanksgiving I must add. People are already dusting off that ugly Christmas sweater, as well as purchasing tropical Hawaiian shirts for the occasion, not to be misconstrued with purchasing Aloha for gifts.

At Wave Shoppe, what the guys are going to wear is pretty clear, they will be decked out in red Aloha shirts

First on everyone's list is a red Hawaiian shirt featuring cereus flowers, which bloom at night and usually only on select lava rock, is off to a good start.

Yes, people buy other prints, but sales numbers indicate that red is by far the predominant color for this time of the year.


Once the remaining sizes for the cereus flower shirt make their way out of sewing, the cereus flower shirt may eventually topple the current reining king of red Hawaiian shirts, (drum roll please) the red Hawaiian shirt with orchid flowers!

But if red is not your thing you can still find some alternative colors on our website that will also look good for the holidays.

If your doing a tiki themed Christmas or Thanksgiving, have a look at our newly added tropical accessories category, we offer some really cool looking, as well as useful household items.

So now you have the inside scoop on Hawaiian fashion in Hawaii and on the mainland. Keep an eye on the mens section, in January we have some exciting new products that we think you will like a lot.

Sunsetting Summer with Aloha

Its hard to believe that Summer is pretty much over in many parts of the country. But that's not the case in some states such as Arizona, California, Nevada, Florida, Texas, Hawaii etc. just to name a few. We are lucky to live in one of those states, I live its pretty much summertime weather year round, we can wear Hawaiian shirts whenever we want to. P.S. if you have not caught on yet, we like the Wave Shoppe brand.

Don't despair, there is good news. The good news is that we have these things called vacations, which are usually taken in warmer, more tropical locations, such as Hawaii or Fiji. Whether you fly or cruise or drive, somewhere on the planet there is a place to wear Hawaiian clothing.

While its on my mind... the guys still need to make sure they wear their shirts correctly, here is a article on how to wear a Hawaiian shirt, follow some of our suggestions and you will avoid having people wondering who dresses you.

As far as threads go for the ladies, you can wear whatever you like. If your going tropical you can elect to wear a dress or even a womens Hawaiian shirt, the choice is yours. So as we say Aloha to Summer we must do so with our heads held high, its always warm somewhere and Summer will return before you know it.

Hawaiian Hospital Gowns

Our Hawaiian clothing store in Escondido is close to a downtown hospital that specializes in surgical procedures. I cannot tell you how many times we have had the family of the patients come into our store and ask if we sell muumuu’s. These people are sent on a mission usually by the patient who realizes that the hospital gowns they are given are not very good at covering them.

The hospital gowns they give you upon intake are notorious for being very thin and breezy in all the wrong places, good luck keeping the posterior covered. These patients are more alarmed about letting the family and friends see them naked that they are about actually relaxing and trying to heal. 

 

That is why I am so glad we stock a huge variety of mid-calf Hawaiian muumuu dresses here at the Wave Shoppe. Our Wave Shoppe brand muumuus are very roomy and comfy and they slip right over the head easily.

We make them right here in the USA from 100% cotton and they are so nice that the patient can wear them out of the hospital and also when they get home. Many wear them out in public and while running errands.

One of the nicest things about our mid-calf muumuus is that we have 2 pockets in our Wave Shoppe labeled muumuus.  We also use vibrant prints and bright colors and they tend to cheer up the patient just like a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Speaking of flowers, another popular gown for hospital patients are our flowered caftans which are extremely roomy. There are no other dresses made that offer as much room as a caftan. Comfort is important during recovery.
