Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places to visit for a beach vacation, holiday, etc! Whether you decide to check out Mauna Kea, visit Haleakala National park , Pearl Harbor, or just walk around big island, Hawaii has some of the most beautiful mountain scenery and there is never a shortage of things to do! So, that means that it’s essential that you pack the perfect wardrobe for your hawaii vacation! This blog post is here to help you do just that, and then some!
For your trip to Hawaii, the best clothes to pack are light, breezy, comfortable clothing for both men and women! On any vacation, it’s SO important to have everything you need with you as you might not be able to take a trip down to your local store. It’s so much easier just to come prepared!
Resort wear should be comfortable, easy to lounge in, but still aesthetic and boho for that tropical Hawaiian look! From white cotton shirts to cotton shorts, to Hawaiian shirts and crocheted outfits, resort wear can really be anything!
Dresses are perfect for Hawaii! They’re light and airy, and easy to move in! Dresses can be all different colors and patterns, textures and fabrics, and we have found a great selection for you to wear during your next trip to Hawaii
Formal wear is great to have packed with you, since there are so many different events you can attend! Cruises, resort parties, etc! You can look classy and be on theme while also having a beachy quality and aesthetic to your clothes!
As an essential item on any beach day, you need a cute bathing suit with bright colors to swim in to complete the Hawaii vacation vibe! Crochet, neutral tones and ocean themed swim suits are all the rage! Check out these Bathing suit finds!
Cute crocheted dresses, pants and tops to go with and over a bathing suit!
Hawaii has a tropical climate, which means along with bright flowers, green scenery, and beach sunsets, Hawaii does get a lot of rain. Although the rainy weather conditions are rarely ever heavy, it is important to note this fact and pack accordingly to the dress code. Hawaii is very humid and warm, but you will likely need a long sleeve rain jacket. Check out these aesthetic rain jackets and other covers for men and women!
These are some of the best clothes and cutest outfit ideas put together to make something simple and easy to pack. We have more retro outfits, boho/beachy, and a few capsule wardrobes for you to check out!
Tops and shirts are the center piece of an outfit, and in the Hawaiian islands you want light, breathable shirts that wont make you sweat more than you already are. Scroll for more!
Bottoms can be shorts, skirts, jeans, etc! Neutral pieces go great with anything and crochet is IN this year!
Bags and purses can be cute accessories, but they should also be useful and functional. Certain bags work better than others in different situations and for different people! Tote bags can be easy to carry around and place souvenirs in, while straw bags can make great beach bags!
The best shoes are cute while still being comfortable shoes to wear. It’s important to have a mix of shoes for the beach, every day use, and hiking if that’s your thing, while still matching your outfit!
With the scorching Hawaii sun, hats and head wear are soooo important! Even when it’s cloudy and overcast in Hawaii, you can still get sunburnt! Not only that, but claw clips are great to have with you because they don’t damage your hair as much as hair ties do and aren’t as easily lost! Scroll for more!
Jewelry can be a great addition to an outfit, but in Hawaii due to all the sea salt and sea air, metal jewelry can tarnish fast if it’s not real. They can also be too gaudy or too colorful to fit with some outfits, so to avoid this issue, we found some simple but pretty jewelry for you!
On beach days it’s important to have everything you need to stay cool, sun protected and relaxed in your beach bag! Things like reef safe sunscreen, a rash guard, and a reusable water bottle are great for beach days and these reusable and environment safe items help keep Hawaii’s water and beaches clean!
Reef safe and reef friendly sunscreen are two very different things! Reef friendly still damages and hurts the plants and animals in the ocean, just not to as big of an extent as non reef friendly. Check out this blog post for an in-depth review on reef and environment safe sunscreen and to see many more options for sunscreen than are listed here!
Staying active on vacation is definitely as important as having fun! It’s nice to go for runs on the beach and take in the tropical climate of Hawaii on runs or hikes. Not every active outfit fits the vibe for Hawaii, but thankfully we found some that do!
Packing efficiently can be really difficult, especially due to the stress of upcoming trips and the worry of having to go through the airport. A lot of people always worry about their bag breaking, their suitcase being too big, too small, getting mixed up with someone’s else’s bag, not having enough space inside, etc. So, we curated a few collections of helpful items to use when packing your bag! Make sure to click the collages if you want to see the products!
