A few days ago, pop star Justin Bieber made headlines for his interpretation of a popular menswear trend — he and his pooch both wore matching bright red Hawaiian shirts as they lounged at home. Although never truly out of style, Hawaiian shirts have been recently experiencing a surge in popularity, says lifestyle blogger Riaan George. He credits the trend with being summer-appropriate and refreshingly playful, especially given our extended home-bound routines and shares three easy ways of dressing them up. 

Change the fit: A slimmer and smarter fit can immediately make the shirt look more put-together and appropriate for semi-formal events, George notes. Wear this with a pair of well-fitted trousers in a complementing colour. He notes that singer Harry Styles often follows this mantra when wearing loud tropical prints in bright colours.
