Grass skirts are the ideal thing for the warmer days, and provide that quintessential island look. They are available in a wide range of colours and materials, and you can even get hold of one made of real grass.

For a sexy summer look, the perfect match for a Hawaiian grass skirt is a coconut bra, which you can either buy or make yourself from an actual coconut. Alternatively, a seashell bra top is both elegant and functional. If you don’t fancy revealing quite so much skin at the party, a range of classy Hawaiian dresses are available in traditional floral patterned designs.

Flower leis or garlands are an absolute essential for any Hawaiian fancy dress party, and add vibrant colours to even the plainest costume. No need to limit yourself to just one.

If you don’t have the long flowing dark hair generally associated with Hawaiian beauties then fear not, as wigs are available to transform you into a long haired island belle. Decorative flower hairclips and tropical hair bands will also have you looking like an island queen.

Can’t go anywhere without your handbag? Not to worry, you can even get Hawaiian themed bags, decorated with flowers and mock grass.
