📖 A little history
The patterned shirt became popular in the 1960s with the explosion of Hawaiian-inspired floral prints 🌺. It was later reinterpreted by punk, grunge, and streetwear trends. Today, it's no longer associated with a single style. It's as much a staple in business casual as it is in summer and winter wardrobes.
