Many companies allow their employees to dress informally for the last day of the week - Aloha Friday, when you can wear Aloha clothing. But it was not always the case. The history of this custom is closely linked with the history of Hawaii's light industry.

Until the 1940's, most of the output sold to tourists. Employees of the major Hawaiian companies were required to wear formal clothes - suits and ties for men, skirts and blouses for women.

In 1947, Aloha Week was established and it appeared that Hawaii's economy could grow significantly if the locals will be wearing more clothes, produced in Hawaii. Thus, the City and County of Honolulu, allow employees to wear sport shirts (but not too colorful) every Friday.

Since 1960, this barrier has become even weaker - Bank of Hawaii became the first corporation to be carried Aloha clothing on Fridays. Today it is almost impossible to find a company in Hawaii, which should not practice Aloha Friday. Aloha Shirt

Another difference is that the tourists are wearing these shirts as formal clothing, and local - as official.
