A Brief History of Andy Reid’s Iconic Devotion to Hawaiian Shirts

People don’t wear Hawaiian shirts; Hawaiian shirts wear people. When the average human puts on a brightly colored, floral, short-sleeved button-down—the correct term for which is actually an Aloha shirt—the article of clothing almost always speaks louder than the wearer. Few middle-aged men can pull them off (except noted Kansas City fan Brad Pitt in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, who was so good at wearing that yellow shirt it was almost offensive). But most end up looking like an extra in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is the rare guy who can pull off this look.
