What shoes do you wear to a luau party?

Sandals, flip-flops or slippers and even bare feet are the way to go.

• The Hawaii Store.
• Taste Polynesia.

What is appropriate to wear to a luau?

Hawaiian attire is always the way to go, which usually includes muumuu dresses, skirts, leis (which you’ll get as you enter most Maui luaus), aloha shirts, shorts, and slippahs (or flip-flops). Any of these choices represents the islands well!

Do you wear heels to a luau?

While you may be tempted to glamorize by wearing high heels, it’s a much better idea to stick closer to the ground. Hawaiian luaus often take place on soft, sandy surfaces and heels are just not conducive to walking around and mingling, especially after a mai tai or two.

Can you wear sandals to a luau?

You can pretty much wear whatever type of shoe you would like to but some might look better than others at a luau. A popular choice to go with is some type of sandal. A leather sandal will probably look the best but you could go with basic flip-flops or perhaps even some type of running/hiking sandal and be just fine.

What do Hawaiian ladies wear?

Women wear long skirts and a top or a muumuu and men wear trousers and a malo, a wrapped cloth. Only a few performances will feature grass skirts, and these tend to be worn over fabric clothing.

Can you wear jeans to a luau?

Any footwear you’d wear to the beach is appropriate for a luau party as well. Even if you’re a jeans kind of a guy (or girl), denim just doesn’t do it at a luau. Again, beach style is key. Go for those loose-fitting linen casual pants or board shorts that you don’t get to wear often enough.
