What To Pack For Hawaii

As Taylor and I start to prep for our own trip to Hawaii next month, I thought it only appropriate to make this installment of our packing series Hawaiian-themed! Whether you’re going for a quick trip or an extended stay, Hawaii is one of those magical places where you can pack light and still feel cute. Since you know you’ll be spending most of the time in the water, you can keep the majority of your packing list pretty simple!

Elan Cover-Up Maxi Dress: These are perfect for Hawaii because they can be worn over a swimsuit or alone as a dress. Throw it on after the beach and you’re ready for dinner.

Scallop Bandeau One-Piece Swimsuit: Always pack multiple swimsuits for Hawaii, but if you’re going to only pick one, make sure it’s a cute one.

Stripe Linen Halter Dress: Hawaii = humidity. Linen = your new best friend. Keep cool with linen dresses in a breezy silhouette.

Lilah B. Divine Duo™ Lip & Cheek Duo: No cakey faces on the beach! This two-in-one duo provides the perfect pop of color for both your lips and cheeks.

Air Dry Foam: Use the salt and sand to your benefit. Beach waves all day, every day.

Umbra Tinte™ Physical Daily Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30: Protect your skin and give yourself that perfect beach glow at the same time with one product.

Stripe Twill Romper: Easy and breezy for the sunny days ahead.

Metal Tip Round Sunglasses: From my personal experience, buy two pairs of cheap sunglasses to take to Hawaii because you never know when you’ll lose a pair in the ocean.

Clio Bow Sandal: The perfect neutral, yet stylish sandal to take from day to night.

Homie Refined Pool Slide: A fun pop of color and perfect for trips to the beach or pool.

Straw Travel Tote: We love how resort-ready this bag is!

Bow Scarf Straw Floppy Hat: If ever there was a place to pull off a giant floppy hat with a bow, it’s Hawaii.
