What is a pattern pattern? Secrets that change your impression depending on the layout
The "pattern pattern" used in aloha shirts is a design technique that is classified according to how the patterns of the fabric are arranged.
For example, as shown in the image above, the "all pattern" in which the patterns are evenly arranged throughout the fabric, and the "border" in which the patterns are placed on the chest and both bodies can make a big difference in impression even if the same motif is used. The impressions give vary depending on the pattern, such as flashyness, calmness, impact, and refinement.
When choosing an aloha, it is surprisingly important to know not only the "pattern" itself, but also the placement and pattern. By knowing patterns that suit your tastes and image of your outfit, you will be able to enjoy a more unique aloha style.
5 patterns of aloha shirts | Differences in placement that affects the impression
Here we introduce five typical pattern patterns used in aloha shirts. By understanding each of the characteristics, impressions, and ease of coordination, you can help you choose the aloha that's perfect for you.
①All over pattern (all over)
The all-over pattern is a pattern that is evenly arranged throughout the shirt. I think that the aloha that everyone imagines at first glance is generally "all-over pattern." The pattern spreads out all over the fabric, so you can wear aloha even from afar! It's a pattern that makes you understand.
Features:
・In English, it is called an all-over pattern
・The randomly assembled patterns and designs are repeated throughout the entire area
- Easy to cut and sew fabric, and less waste fabric, making it suitable for mass production
・There are many different themes, such as vintage and recent brands.
▼For those who want to enjoy "The Aloha"
You can create the most basic, familiar and classic style. The pattern is on the entire surface, so you can give it a summery and resort feel in one go.
▼For those who want to wear it in a variety of ways without worrying about coordinating
The pattern is evenly expressed, making it relatively easy to coordinate with, such as wearing it alone, pairing it with outerwear, or showing a glimpse of the pattern.
▼People who want to show off their individuality through pattern themes
There is a wide range of themes, including Hawaiian, Japanese patterns, food, and movie motifs, and it has the fun of choosing patterns. There are many options, both vintage and current, and it's easy to get.
・If you choose simple and chic designs for pants and shoes, they will fit in well in the city.
・Put it with inner and outerwear to effectively control the area where the pattern can be seen
(For example, when you think it might be too flashy)
・In autumn and winter, you can wear it under knits or sweatshirts and show them through the hem or sleeves.

②Border pattern
The stripe is a pattern with patterns arranged in a strip-like shape on part of the shirt, such as around the buttons and both bodies. It has a moderate margin and is not too strong insightful than the all-over pattern, and is characterized by its elegant impression. It's easy to incorporate into everyday use.
Features:
- Features a design with motifs arranged like a belt, centered around the chest
- It gives a regular and well-balanced look, so it fits in with a neat outfit
・It is very popular in the vintage world, and is also a collector's item
▼For those who want to enjoy a neat aloha style
The pattern is well arranged, making the styling elegant and easy to coordinate. It's mature and has a flashy feel, so it's also recommended as the first item.
▼For those who want to wear it with a jacket or cardigan
The pattern lines are well-balanced, so it won't get too loud when you put it on, and it's easy to layer with your outerwear.
・Even when paired with casual pants or shoes, it gives a slightly more elegant look than the all-over pattern.
-Make your jacket or cardigan look more sophisticated to make your chest look visible
・Even beginners and people who are not good at patterned items can easily be worn by choosing a striped stripe with a small number of colors (though it should be).

③ Horizontal pattern
Horizontal is a pattern with patterns arranged horizontally in the center of the shirt or around the chest. Deep, "scenery" motifs are often used, and the design is characterized by a tropical postcard that makes you imagine a scene.
Features:
・Seaside scenery, surfing, hula girls, sunsets, palm trees and other patterns are common
・It's casual but has a strong presence, and can be the main character on its own
・It's also popular in vintage styles, and there are many reprints of current brands.
▼For those who like flashy patterns
Many of the designs have a strong tropical feel, and the single piece gives off a sense of atmosphere, making it perfect for those who like flashy things.
▼Big people
Larger people look better as the visible pattern is larger.
- Close the design to make the design appear to the fullest extent
・If you're going to the city, pair it with dark pants, or bright pants or shorts to give it a tropical feel, it's a good idea to pair it with dark pants.
・It has an art flair, so it's good to try out a fashionable look with a set or monochrome outfit.

④Back panel pattern
As the name suggests, the back panel features a design with a large pattern placed on the back. The front is simple and the back gives a firm presence, making it a pattern that shows off from the back.
Features:
- The front is plain or modest, and the back is boldly arranged with a single canvas
・The attractive features are the "glare" when viewed from the side and the impact when looking back
・You can wear it like a back print T-shirt
▼For those who want to stand out from others, "intermediate Aloha or above"
A simple option that gives you a sense of understanding on just one
▼People who like simplicity but want to show off their individuality somewhere
It's refreshing from the front and bold at the back. The contrast is effective
▼For those who want to be particular about their back style
The design is so quiet that it can be spoken about, and the moment you look back is the coolest. For people who often see the back, such as on motorcycles or bicycles.
・The front is basically simple, so just coordinate it like a plain shirt.
・It goes well with casual denim, and you can tighten your feet with leather shoes.
・Match shoes and pants that capture the colors used in the pattern (picture) on the back to create a "sortment" look.
Typical Eanbe shirts:
"Barber," "Rendez vous," "Ryukyu Dance," etc.

⑤Front panel pattern
The front panel is a pattern that Eanbe named after. The front version of the back panel features a single canvas front and a pattern that looks like an artboard. It's similar to a horizontal, but the single painting is arranged without much attention to the depth.
▼For those who like flashy patterns
It gives off a unique look, so it's for those who want to wear a flashy top.
▼Big people
The sideways are well-balanced and look good on large people.
▼People who like clothes with meaning or story
The patterns have a storyline, so many designs have many elements to tell. All of Eanbe Alohas have a story to it, but I think the front panel is particularly easy to understand.
