The one time in my life I wore an aloha shirt tucked in, my Hawaiian coworkers shamed me so badly I learned my lesson. They told me in no uncertain terms that only mainlanders ever tucked in their aloha shirts, and over 20+ years of business trips to Hawaii I found that to actually be the truth.

Now I'm sure there are different levels of business attire on the islands, just like there are on the mainland. But I just thought I would share my experience, because I've been much more comfortable now with my aloha shirts untucked, both when relaxing and when doing business!
