Yes, Hawaiian shirts were invented in Hawaii and were originally called 'Aloha shirts'. The first Hawaiian shirts appeared in the 1930s and were designed by a tailor in Waikiki. They are a happy medium between casual and formal wear in Hawaii, because normal long sleeved suits and shirts would be too hot and stuffy for the climate.
