It depends on where you are going...if you are dressing up -nice restaraunt, business meeting, or your wife is in a dress and heels- tuck it in. If you are in baggy shorts at the beach or sightseeing you can leave it out. Most men in Hawaii tuck them in.

wow, an aloha shirt war! i'm enjoying this.
melissa and lcuy are right--aloha shirts in for formal occasions. i used to attend an annual luncheon for the top 250 ceos in the state, and most came in aloha shirts. anything more formal, like shirt and tie -- or even more conspicuous, a jacket! -- marks u as a mainlander, an asian, a legislator or a lawyer.

Ryan--FUNNY!
Rusty, I'm assuming you belong to Clark and Ellen, in which case the shirt goes out.
I'm certainly nowhere near cool, but my 14 year old (who is cool--just ask) and his friends wear theirs out--no doubt. For what it's worth, hubby wears his aloha shirt out, too

You're way out in left field on that comment Suzanne.
You must understand that while "Hawaiian shirts" were considered tacky on the mainland in the 1980's and 1990's (and they're no longer considered tacky, but trendy today), in Hawaii itself such shirts have long held a position of cultural significance.
Not unlike Bermuda shorts in Bermuda. In the 1980's Bermuda shorts in the US were considered out of fashion. In Bermuda they are a cultural symbol and they are even wore with a blazer and tie at times.
