These can be worn with pants, skirts, slacks, or trousers for women, whereas men look good in shorts or jeans.

Scatter tissue paper pineapples 🍍 seashells 🐚 and bamboo ornaments all over the place. Add some Hawaiian music in the background to set the mood to finish off completely.
Hawaiian Hairstyles & Face Paint for Extra Fun
To spice up your Hawaiian-themed outfit, here are some Hawaiian hairstyles and makeup tips!
As for girls and women, yes, the ideal Hawaiian look is the simple beach waves with a flower crown or tiara. Men can get temporary hawaiian tribal tattoos and get faux hawk hairstyles.
Drawing motifs like little palm trees or hibiscus flowers and painting them on cheeks is the best kind of face paint. Surfer tattoos also look great!
Classroom Games & Luau Party Activities
Guess what? Teachers can also incorporate traditional Hawaiian outfits and games, and fun activities of a luau party into the lesson!
Engage in a hula dance competition or a limbo dance contest using a pool noodle. For some extra Hawaiian arts and crafts, make leis, grass skirts or Hawaiian tribal masks. Finish with a mock luau and enjoy tropical fruits and shave ice desserts! 🥥🍍
Staying Warm in Winter: Cold Weather Hawaiian Outfits
Well, what if the Hawaiian Day is on Thursday and it is freezing outside, do not let that affect your Hawaiian personality! Accessorize Hawaiian shirts over long sleeves or sweaters. Accessorize your grass skirts and leis with style scarves and jackets.
Tropical print leggings or jeans are great for wearing under skirts when it is cold. Oh and matching festive tropical socks for those cold tootsies! This is why one should use brave reds and pinks to give Hawaiian prints more definition when used against winter whites. 🌺❄️☃️
Ideas for Toddlers & Young Kids
For the toddlers, opt for loose, comfortable Hawaiian shirts or dresses for the child to play around in. It is more comfortable to wear stretchy leggings throughout the day rather than wearing stiff jeans.
Young keiki should be monitored strictly when they have face paint. Things like flower crowns, shell bracelets, and soft hula skirts are not as risqué as the bikinis and one piece swimsuits. Who can resist cute toddlers dressed in prints inspired by the Hawaiian paradise?
Elementary Age Boys: Outfits & Activities
Hawaiian shirts look great with shorts or jeans and a playful tropical hat for boys, too. Create cardboard surfboards and palm trees for class decoration purposes.
Boys can also make hula skirts using streamers or crepe papers that are easy to do at home for spirit week activities. And they will have a good time constructing “sandcastles” with the empty milk cartons during indoor break. 🏖️🏄♂️
Middle & High School Hawaiian Costume Ideas
Teach students to organize grand group outfits, preferably a Hawaiian themed party scene! Girls could combine strong makeup with Hawaiian-shirt, and the guys could combine fauxhawks with their Hawaiian-shirts.
