Gallery Hawaiian shirts: Tom Selleck and the cast of Magnum PI
Navy Seal, Vietnam veteran, military intelligence agent, private investigator, comedy 'tache... and a natty array of Hawaiian shirts. Yep, Thomas Sullivan Magnum IV - Magnum PI to you and me - had it all. Here he pictured with (from left) Rick, Higgins and TC. Quick, to the chopper! Photograph: Ronald Grant
Gallery Hawaiian shirts: Al Pacino in Scarface
The look on Al Pacino's face says it all. He's just been told his Hawaiian shirt he bought for Christmas is 70% off in the Urban Outfitters sale. Not only that, the Cuban cocaine baron has tucked it into his trousers - fashion faux pas! Never mind, Al, pictured here in Brian de Palma's 1983 movie, Scarface.
