You Have to Respect Hawaiian Shirt Friday...

...even if you work alone in a one-person office

Sorry, but my respect for this blog just nose-dived!
Is it one of those American rituals, that we Brits find so hard to grok?

Just fyi, in Hawaii we call these aloha shirts. Left Hawaii ten years ago for Atlanta, but I still maintain Aloha Friday, because #culture.

Congrats on the shirt eschewing wahines and skimpily dressed women. It is feminist-safe!

Think of it as like unto eating haggis, but without the haggis, so it's way more fun.

Oi, where's the strand of flowers around your neck? Cheapjack!

That would be dress-up day in my one-person office.

In Kauai, I tried the first week of a electric utility rate case before the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission. All parties, including the Commissioners were required to wear Aloha shirts. I had to make a quick trip to a local store to buy a bunch of Kahala-brand shirts. (Not that I'm complaining.)

For me, it's Hawaiian Shirt Everyday, and that was true before I semi-retired.
