Some of the most memorable vacations with friends and family that I’ve gotten to experience involved a flight to Hawaii. It might be a long day of travel coming from New York City but being on such a beautiful set of islands feels like entering another planet and there’s so much to see and explore. I’ve done trips where I stayed at a resort and never left and I’ve also had visits where I stayed with friends who live there and were generous enough to share more about what life like a local is like. With all that being said, I can’t wait for my next visit so of course, I’m already brainstorming my outfits.
On vacation, I usually gravitate toward dresses but when I’m somewhere as effortless and lowkey as Hawaii I like to have fun with resort shirts, cutoff denim, and anything else that says “out of office” in loud fond. It’s ideal to have a wardrobe that you can easily throw-on over any swimsuit of your choosing and when you pack like that the opportunities are endless. Keep scrolling to check out my set of inspiring outfits to choose from.
The beaches of Hawaii were made for outfits like this. A fun crochet bucket hat adds a retro, bohemian vibe, while the oversized blue button-down shirt creates a casual, effortless look that still pops. Paired with a minimal pink bikini and you’re ready to watch the waves roll in.
Wearing a crochet matching set in Hawaii exudes the kind of vibe that perfectly complements the island’s laid-back atmosphere. The breathable fabric allows for comfort in the hot and humid climate, so you can feel as good as you look. Packing a straw bag for your trip is a must and goes perfectly with this look.
Layering a bikini under a maxi dress is one of my favorite looks for a pool day if you’re the kind of person who’s looking for both style and practicality. When I know I’ll be going straight from the pool to a casual lunch, this look never fails me. The combination allows for effortless movement and comfort, making it the perfect ensemble for enjoying a sunny day by the water.
If you’re more of a city girl, I’ve found the look that combines casual beach vibes with an urban flair. I love how the red-and-white striped bikini top adds a pop of color. Linen pants and an oversized shirt are a must-have combination for an effortlessly chic silhouette worn poolside.
A red maxi dress is the perfect choice for a nice dinner in Hawaii if you want to emulate a touch of island charm. This flowing silhouette complements the warm Hawaiian breeze, while the vibrant hue evokes the stunning sunsets over the ocean (that are sometimes a shocking bright red). If this outfit isn’t enough to convince you to book a flight, I don’t know what is.
