How to Bring Hawaiian Chill Into Your Wardrobe with Olukai Shoes

You might not live in the land of big waves and towering volcanoes, but at least you can bring the island spirit into the way you dress. Hang ten in a pair of Olukai shoes that will make you say “aloha” to good vibes.

Here’s how to take Hawaiian style and make it a little less tiki-tropical for your daily wear with a pair of shoes from Olukai.

Hawaiian Shirt

The famous Hawaiian floral shirt was popularized in the late 40s and early 50s by soldiers returning to the mainland from WWII. Their bright patterns, laidback short sleeves and straight, not-to-be-tucked-in hem made them an instant hit among vacationers. Bring this tropical staple into your wardrobe by choosing one with an artistic floral print and wearing it tied at the waist with denim cut-offs, sunglasses and a pair of Olukai slip-on sneakers for an urbane take on a tourist classic.

Sarong

The sarong, a cover-up composed of a large rectangular strip of fabric, is a great multi-purpose beach accessory. You can use it as a blanket, a head wrap, an impromptu bag, or, as it is intended. Bring the vibe of a sarong into your day-to-day with a sexy wrap skirt in a floral print. Wear it with a pair of Olukai lace-up shoes to secure the aloha feeling without looking too beachy.

Grass Skirt

A grass skirt perfect for a luau is never going to work in the office, but you can still capture the vibe of this ceremonial dance garment with a fringed skirt in tan-colored suede. Paired with a sassy crop top and Olukai sandals and you’ll look ready to strut down the street. Don’t be surprised if you’re tempted to do the hula.

Muumuu

Light, loose and irresistibly summery, a muumuu is a wide-cut dress that, when styled correctly, looks fresh and carefree, not frumpy. Contrast the generous cut of this dress with a pair of wedge sandals from Olukai that elongate your legs and balance the volume up top. Wear your hair up in a loose chignon for a chic take on this traditional house dress.

When you’re craving an island getaway, Olukai shoes are almost as good as a plane ticket to Maui.

Say "aloha" to your new favorite shoes and celebrate with a Mai Tai.
