Perhaps the closest we can come is "aloha" shirts on people who live in Hawaii.
Odd that you mention that...
When I was in the Solomon Islands (SCUBA diving) I noticed that a
high proportion of the natives were wearing aloha shirts -- possibly
because they come in XXXXXXL -- even on the aeroplane going there
a fair percentage of men of Polynesian ancestry (based on appearance)
were wearing Hawaiian shirts( what we call them here.)
So, I'm not sure that it translates.
