Clooney Sports The Aloha Shirt...Like A Boss!

 

A note to our Mainland colleagues: when next you are called to Hawaii on business, if you emulate His Georgeness, you can't go wrong.

In our Bishop Street Fashion Guide, we commented upon the unwritten rules for the unique haberdashery in Honolulu, and what is considered appropriate business wear for lawyers when not appearing in court.

In that vein, the recent showing of The Descendants featuring Geo. Clooney at the Hawaii International Film Festival is an example of how to play it right down the center: a reverse print, button-down, half-placket, no-poly aloha shirt, most likely of the Reyn Spooner variety. Tucked in for the formal look, or untucked for the casual Friday look or pau hana time.

However the film is otherwise in the accuracy department, we can say this: the technical advisor and the wardrobe department got it 100% right. Clooney dresses like a Hawaii businessman.
