Get into the Aloha Spirit

The people of the Hawaiian islands are widely known for their attitude of friendly acceptance (called the Aloha spirit).  Hawaiians are accepting of a variety of shapes and sizes, from the momona (full-figured), to the wiwi (petite).  They believe every woman can be sexy, which is why Hawaiian women of all sizes wear sensual flowers and colors that evoke sunsets, beaches, and tropical birds.  These vibrant prints evoke happiness and Aloha to the wearer, which is flattering on every woman.  Embrace your beautiful self and wear the colors and styles that make you feel happy.

Mix and Match

Island wear is meant to be comfortable, so Hawaiian clothing tends to feature styles that wrap or tie loosely over the body, creating a flattering look for women of all shapes.  You can easily combine different Hawaiian pieces to display your best features.  For example, a simple tank top can be worn with a wrap skirt and a bright lei.

Dare to Accessorize!

Hawaiian wear allows for a lot of expression and personal style.  Adorn your hair with an exotic Orchid or Hibiscus hairflower, or a Plumeria headband.  Every plant and flower has a different meaning in Hawaiian culture, so choose one that matches your personality.  Draw attention to your face with a shell necklace, or coconut earrings.  Leis represent love and luck for the wearer.  They are synonymous with the beauty of Hawaii.
