What To Wear In Hawaii

Hawaii weddings are warm, romantic and tropical, so your outfit should feel the same. Think elevated silhouettes, bright florals, and breathable styles you can wear from seaside ceremonies to cocktail hour.

Your Hawaii wedding outfit checklist:

• Maxi and midi dresses or matching sets
• Tropical-inspired colors: guava, papaya, butter yellow, teal, sage and sand
• Anything floral is always a yes for a Hawaii wedding
• Draped asymmetrical dresses, one-shoulder silhouettes, high-split skirts and ruffles
• Bead detailing, statement straps and open backs
  
  These pieces feel luxe and elevated yet soft and comfortable enough to wear to a beachside wedding. If you’re searching for Hawaii dresses that feel dressy but effortless, these are your top picks!

The perfect Luau outfit is comfortable, cute, and easy to style. Think flattering, flowy dresses that feel slightly more elevated than your average weekend event.

For the perfect luau outfit, look for:

• Comfy, flowy, and relaxed silhouettes that you feel confident in
• Halter necklines and easy-to-wear florals
• Ocean shades, sunset tones and earthy neutrals
  
  Opt for something breathable that you can sit, dance and move around in. A breathable maxi, a classic mini or a soft halter dress is a guaranteed slay.

The best outfits to wear to a dinner in Hawaii are a mix of elevated, cool, and casual. If you can imagine yourself partying with your gals after dinner, you’ve chosen the perfect look. Not too formal, not too casual. Promise, it’s easier than it sounds!

Trending for Hawaii dinners:

• Draping, sheer elements, and beaded details
• Cut outs, hardware moments and zoomed-in floral prints
• Baby blue, orange, saturated brights, chocolate brown and sand
• Matching sets or a fun skirt (mini, midi or maxi) with a simple top
  
  We’re loving backless tops in drapey or asymmetric shapes, plus anything with bead details!

For casual days on the island, reach for denim shorts, basic tanks, breathable off-shoulder tops and of course, your bikini.

Everyday pieces to pack:

• Denim shorts or skorts
• Crochet or knit matching sets
• Basic tanks with mini or maxi skirts
• Oversized, off-the-shoulder tops layered over a bikini
• Light ponchos to throw over your swimwear
  
  These styles are perfect for exploring your dreamy destination, morning coffee runs, or days when you’re going from beach to brunch.

Your bikini is the staple you’ll be wearing day-in-day-out. For this vacay destination, reach for bright tropical shades, shell and beaded details, and gold hardware. The beach is where you’ll be spending 99% of your time in Hawaii, so it’s a must to pack swimwear you’re obsessed with!

Trending swimwear details for Hawaii:

• Tropical and floral prints
• Bright shades, like blue and orange or earthy tones like brown and chocolate
• Shell and bead detailing

Cute coverups are essential, especially if you want to quickly go from the beach to the bar. They’ll save you going back to your hotel room for a whole outfit change!

Best Vacay Bikini Coverups:

• Sheer sarongs or wrap skirts
• A sheer playsuit for an elevated ‘ready in seconds’ outfit

Your shoes should be cute, comfortable and practical. For vacays, prioritize having just 2 or 3 staple shoes in your suitcase. One for everyday wear, another for elevated occasions and a spare pair for styling different looks.
