Elvis Sure Knew How To Wear A Party Shirt

How to dress for the holiday you want, not the work day you have.

He was the man who knew how to holiday – Elvis Presley called the Hilton home and the Aloha State his place of choice. Waikiki Beach, Kauai, Oahu, wherever, so long as he had sand between his toes and sun on his skin. Here, he made he made some his best. Blue Hawaii, Girls! Girls! Girls! and Paradise, Hawaiian Style!

He was holiday-ready, always. Smooth talking and always smiling. The king of the printed, short sleeve shirt, he wore bold, big and tropical patterns. Think captains hats, a lei at the ready and a tan that refused to fade. His summer style, it’s got us all shook up. We want IN.

He loved the island of Hawaii so much he brought a little piece of its paradise to Graceland and called it his Jungle Room. A lush tropical paradise, it even had an indoor waterfall on the north wall.

“You can't spend the rest of your life on a surfboard.” He was told as Chad Gates in Blue Hawaii.

His reply?

"Yes I can.”
