I get really cold.</p> <p>But, the rest of the time, meaning most of the 2 weeks, I'll be outside, so shorts, tank, sundresses, skirts, etc. We don't eat at fancy places, so I'm not really worried about the dress up factor.</p> <p>Also, I'm bringing my hybrid Keens for light hiking besides the flip flops and shoe type Sanuk's Locals of Hawaii told me I'd be fine with the hybrid Keens for what I have planned. I guess tennis shoes don't hold up well on the volcanic rocks and the Keen hiking sandals have more treads.</p> <p>No water sports for me either...other than lazing around the beach looking good in my bikini LOL! With plenty of sunblock too! :D</p> <p>Hugs and thanks for the help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-in-hawaii#post-29745 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:23:00 +0000 Violet 29745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hawaii is amazing! You will have a wonderful time. It is pretty casual there. I agree with others about not bringing jeans, it is pretty warm there so I don't think you will need them. </p> <p>I would bring dresses and skirts to wear to dinner at night. Bring a few cardis for layering, b/c it can get cool at night.</p> <p>When I went, we spent the days going sight-seeing around the island. I would wear my swim-suit with a casual dress or shorts/t-shirt for a cover up. That way if we stopped at a beach on the way, I didn't need to completely change into my swimsuit.</p> <p>If you are planning on doing any sort of hiking, bring some tennis shoes. Flip flops and sport sandals aren't always sturdy enough for that activity.</p> <p>Have a great time!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-in-hawaii#post-29720 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 04:14:34 +0000 Alecia 29720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to HI soon, too! I can't wait. I'd nix the jeans. Linens, cottons, shorts, bathing suits with a cover-up. That's the Hawaii scene. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-in-hawaii#post-29668 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:25:00 +0000 kellygirl 29668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmm, I love Hawaii. I agree with Antje--very casual. I usually pack skirts, shorts, tanks, and a couple light sweaters for layering. Lightweight fabrics are nice because of the humidity. I think the Big Island will be cooler than Oahu so a hoodie would be appropriate too. I recommend a SPF rated rash guard if you're going to be snorkeling--so you don't have to mess with the sunscreen on your torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-in-hawaii#post-29659 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:13:21 +0000 Antje 29659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucky you! Hawaii is wonderful. And yes, it's casual, and it's very very warm (sticky warm). I'd reconsider the jeans and the "layering" plan. The two times I was in Hawaii (once in May, once in September) I wore as few clothes as possible, and nothing denim, but was happiest in super light fabrics. Mostly I wore sun dresses or skirt with cami or tank.<br /> In the evening, it's fun to dress up for a nice dinner out, but a nicer sun dress or skirt/sleeveless blouse combo will be perfectly appropriate unless you go to one of the fanciest resorts, where you can wear an evening dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-wear-in-hawaii#post-29609 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 21:48:03 +0000 yogabear 29609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an upcoming trip to Hawaii...big Island and Oahu. I'm doing fun and active things. I'm packing tank tops for layering, solid t-shirts, 2 bikinis, a coverup, a few workout outfits, shorts, jeans, knit skirts, and a few sundresses. I'm bringing a light raincoat as well as some hoodies too.</p> <p>I've never been to Hawaii. Is it mostly casual there? </p> <p>Help is very appreciated :)</p> <p>Hugs,<br /> L </p>
