1. Prana Water-Repellent Long Pants

Jeans are always an option, but most travelers to Hawaii will get more use out of a lightweight, slim-fit trouser. Great for exploring lava fields or wearing to a traditional luau, this style from Prana is a solid pick.

2. Levi’s Light Jacket

While you’ll never be downright chilly in Hawaii (unless you’re atop Mauna Kea at dawn — there can be snow up there!), a light jacket can come in handy for cooler evenings and rainy days. Choose a packable cotton option like this lightweight anorak, available in five different colors.

3. One-Piece Swimsuit

A no-brainer, but not all swimsuits are created equal. For a week in Hawaii, you’ll want at least three suits. You can never go wrong with a versatile one-piece, which will ensure coverage for any water sports or activities. Add a few mix-and-match tops and bottoms. Don’t forget to pack a flowy caftan for a versatile cover-up that will take you from beach to spa and everywhere in between.

4. Columbia Coral Point Shorts

Overall, Hawaii is a casual place, and you won’t regret having a few different pairs of shorts for various outings. We recommend taking at least two pairs: one pair of casual shorts that are useful for hiking or throwing over a bathing suit, and another dressy pair that can be worn with a cute blouse.

5. Everlane Linen Scoop-Neck Tee

Quick drying, breathable, and airy, linen is the perfect fabric for a warm climate like Hawaii. Naturally hypoallergenic, the properties of linen mean that moisture is wicked away when you perspire (read: less itching and more comfort). We love this linen scoop-neck tee from Everlane, which can be worn loose for outdoor excursions, or with a hip French tuck to elevate it into chic evening resort attire.

6. SSLR Printed Button-Down Hawaiian Shirt

No, we’re not talking Margaritaville here. The days of the over-the-top, busy prints are over. Look for chic, restrained tropical prints that won’t make you look like a parrot. We’re particularly fans of this pineapple number.

7. Wallaroo Wide Brim Hat

A good hat is a must for days spent at the beach or hiking. A regular baseball cap can suffice, but if you’re looking for a style upgrade, choose a versatile sun hat, ideally with UPF. This model folds down for packing convenience.

8. Ballop Spider Skin Water Shoes

If you plan on doing any reef exploration (or will be near Hawaii’s jagged volcanic rocks), it’s worth packing a pair of lightweight, durable water shoes. Look for an anti-slip outer sole and a comfortable pull-on design.

9. Ray-Ban Polarized Sunglasses

If you’ve ever been on the fence about purchasing a pair of polarized sunglasses, one trip to Hawaii will make you a believer. You can’t go wrong with a stylish, classic pair of Ray-Bans.

10. Birkenstock Mayari Birko-Flor Sandal

Flip-flops have their place, but if you plan on embarking on any gentle excursions in Hawaii, you’re going to need a proper pair of open sandals. And what brand marries fashion and function better than German shoe manufacturer Birkenstock? Rugged enough for the trails and stylish enough for the restaurant, these Mayari Birko-Flor sandals have adjustable straps for a custom fit and that super-comfortable Birkenstock footbed.

11. Syncwire Waterproof Phone Pouch

Between the beaches and jungles, it can be tough to keep your phone safe in Hawaii, especially if you prefer taking photos on your device. Instead of shelling out for a waterproof camera, pack a simple waterproof phone pouch. This mini dry bag allows you to send messages and take pictures while your phone is sealed in the water-tight zip-lock system — ideal for those canoe trips off Maui.
