They are the perfect article of clothing for summer and they are even more perfect for bigger and taller guys to wear. If you are a bigger and/or taller guy that isn’t a fan of wearing neutral colors or earthy tones then the Hawaiian shirt is going to really make you smile. This shirt from the King Kameha clothing brand is a short-sleeve, button-down shirt that is lightweight and brilliantly colorful.

Big and Tall Hawaiian shirts are typically worn as a casual item during the hotter summer months. They are bright and comfortable and they are breathable which is a big deal for bigger and taller guys. While these shirts aren’t typically worn during formal events they can be worn as a business casual or semi-formal outfit. If you have the right pair of pants and shoes you can definitely wear a Hawaiian shirt to a summer wedding or outdoor BBQ party. Just tuck the shirt in, wear a belt, and wear pants that will complement the shirt without taking away from the cool style. I recommend wearing white or light-colored pants with the Hawaiian shirt with brown or light shoes. These shirts are available in regular and Big and Tall sizes and are also available in 12 different colors.
If you are a fan of the Hawaiian shirt but don’t know if you can pull off the bright colors there is a style that will slide nicely into your summer wardrobe. Hawaiian shirts don’t necessarily have to be bright and colorful, there are Hawaiian shirts that are dark or neutral and they are a bit easier to pair than the classic bright colored Hawaiian. This shirt from Johari West is a compromise of Big and Tall sizing, Hawaiian fit, and fun, and style. This darker shirt will pair well with khakis, shorts, jeans, or even a lighter linen pant.
The shirt is made from100% natural cotton so it is durable, breathable, and lightweight so you won’t overheat or sweat too much when the temperature reaches 90-100 degrees. This is a great shirt to wear to a casual BBQ or to a more formal wedding. If you are going to wear this shirt to a formal event make sure you pair it with a lighter pair of pants, tuck it in, rock a belt, and some lighter shoes or loafers. You are going to look and feel fantastic and more importantly, you will be comfortable in a shirt that fits right and doesn’t weigh you down. If you like the darker featured shirt but also want some other options, check out the other 19 colors available. All are available in Big sizes and Tall sizes as well as regular sizes.
The maker of this big Hawaiian shirt — Johari West — is extremely popular with shoppers and they offer a wide range of men’s Hawaiian shirts in a wide variety of sizes. The Cool Nights shirt here is available in S, M and L, as well as the entire array of big and tall shirt sizes. A great benefit of this piece is that it’s pre-shrunk cotton, so unless you wash it in radioactive liquids, it’s going to hold its size for you. Features a single left chest pocket, Johari West monogrammed buttons and side vents at the hems. Batik cotton, by the way, is a cotton that’s been dyed using wax so the end result produces a “crackled” texture. This shirt gets a 4.3 out of 5-star rating average. Another terrific Johari shirt is the Tropical Tango, which is in the same price range. Johari West men’s Hawaiian shirts tend more toward attractive prints — often floral — rather than the more fun style of Hawaiian shirt featuring surfboards and pineapples.
Don’t let the name of this big and tall shirt fool you: this works well for any occasion, including an island wedding. This shirt is 100 percent cotton poplin fabric and it features coconut buttons. Pacific Legend is made in Hawaii and they feature a huge array of different styles of island wear, including this bird of paradise men’s Hawaiian shirt.
La Leela makes a huge array of island wear — everything from big and tall shirts to regular sized women’s bikini cover-ups and a lot more. This shirt is Likre fabric (not Lycra), which is factory-made synthetic silk, so the shirt’s going to have a very comfortable feel and a smooth drape. It is machine washable. It’s got side vents and logoed buttons. Available in nine different colors. For pants, I think a great option would be the extremely popular Cubavera Men’s Drawstring Pant with Back Elastic Waistband.
This is a 100 percent cotton big Hawaiian shirt that is available in 11 different colors. We’re showing it in the navy/orange combo. Alohawears Clothing Company is a made in Hawaii outfit that has a huge array of island wear. This shirt works great alone, of course, but it is available in a matching women’s version, as well as children’s sizes. The shirt features a front pocket and coconut buttons. A great go-with is the Amazon Essentials men’s classic-fit shorts, available in nine different colors. But, again, the men’s Hawaiian shirt can be worn with virtually any pants or shorts, from dressier to more casual. Of course, a great pair of men’s sandals or slides or flip-flops is always a winning option.
This is another men’s Hawaiian shirt that trends a little bit more toward the elegant, given the dark shade of blue and the bamboo tree flower print. Alvish makes a wide variety of big and tall shirts and they’re very popular. This shirt is 100 percent poly and it’s machine washable and wrinkle-free. It features a front pocket and coconut buttons and, in case you hadn’t noticed, it’s extremely affordable. Like all big Hawaiian shirts, this would work very well with some walking shorts and this pair from Dockers is extremely popular. But, again, Hawaiian shirts don’t have to be worn with shorts, they don’t have to be worn with linen pants. They work perfectly with a great pair of jeans, for example.
Hawaii Hangover shirts are made in the 50th state and it’s a very popular brand. This men’s Hawaiian shirt is pre-shrunk 100 percent cotton and it features a front chest pocket and coconut buttons. Hawaii Hangover can customize many of its shirts, including this really fun golden pineapple design.
This is a classic men’s Hawaiian shirt that’s a classic simply because it’s almost identical to the style that the actor Tom Selleck made popular on his Magnum PI show. This shirt is 100 percent Rayon, so it’s going to have that silky feel and drape. (It’s also recommended that the shirt is hand washed in cold water.) The buttons are made of bamboo and the shirt features a front pocket and side pleats. If you want to go full Selleck, pop a Detroit Tigers lid on the dome. (Tom’s character in Magnum PI often wore a Tigers cap.) Paradise Found offers a wide assortment of men’s and women’s island wear, including themed shirts, long sleeved shirts, sun dresses and button down long dresses.
While men’s Hawaiian shirts are most commonly found in cotton, silk Hawaiian shirts are also very popular. This one from Tommy Bahama is 100 percent silk. The print is banana leaf and hibiscus and can be ordered in either marble cream (shown) or Bering blue. Either color has a single patch pocket on the left chest, side vents at the hem and coconut buttons. A great go-with in the pants department would be the extremely popular Cubavera Men’s Drawstring Pant with Back Elastic Waistband. Of course, Tommy Bahama offers everything from men’s Hawaiian shirts to cologne to home furnishings. I’ve purchased a handful of their Hawaiian shirts over the years and they always hit a home run. This Tiki Palms Silk Camp Shirt from Tommy Bahama is another great example of a Hawaiian shirt that takes the casual style up a couple notches.
