Packing for Maui

Soon, I’ll be headed to Hawaii—toward sunshine, beaches, whales, an incredibly rich culture, and a well-deserved vacation. I truly cannot wait.

Additionally, as a lover of all things theme, I’m also stoked to start packing for Maui.

Here’s my outfit inspiration: the clothes I’m packing for Maui.

Outfits I’m packing for Maui

This trip will have a couple different activity vibes throughout, split between the pool and beach, the resort, and excursions (Island exploring!).

I’m aiming for a mix of casual, sun-kissed comfort and high-end resort styles.

Travel / lounge

In addition to our 12.5 total hours of flight time, I’m sure these clothes will carry me through quality time spent in our air conditioned hotel room. You better believe I’ll be cozy and comfy as I’m loafing around.

• Light sweatshirt
• Aerie shorts – a few pairs of waffle and cotton cozies for mixing and matching
• Sweatpants

Pool / beach

As a self-proclaimed Water Girl, I imagine we’ll be spending quite a lot of time at the pool and beach. Here are the essentials I plan to pack for my favorite time of any vacation.

• Long-sleeve crochet cover up – Amazon
• Green matching set cover up – Amazon
• Floral crochet cover up – VICI
• Floral beach sarong cover up – VICI
• Mesh beach tote – Amazon
• Foam slides – Amazon
• Sunglasses – Amazon

Swim

A note on swimsuits: they are hard to share! Links tend to expire / businesses run out of stock, which makes it hard to have accurate links over time. Most of my swimsuits are many years old; I’ll share the listings that still exist, but otherwise, I’ll just share the brand.

• Tropical bikini – Lulu’s
• Blue bikini – Amazon
• Black bikini – Amazon

My swimsuits are mostly sourced from Aerie, Amazon, Abercrombie, or NastyGal.

Resort

One of the fashion categories I’m excited to explore with this trip is resort wear! Here are all of the upscale, elevated pieces that I’m excited to wear. (Even if it’s all very much affordable, lol.)

• Sun dress – Petal & Pup
• Luau dress – Lulu’s
• Tropical wrap mini dress – Petal & Pup
• Brown tropical matching pant set – Petal & Pup
• Matching crochet set – VICI
• White sandals – Kohl’s
• White vest top – Amazon

Exploring

Island adventuring awaits! I imagine beep-boppin’ around, eating delicious food, and learning about Hawaii’s rich culture in these very casual and basic clothing combinations (sourced, old, from my closet).

• Jean shorts (old) – Abercrombie
• Matching red workout set (shorts, top) – Amazon
• A few tank tops and t-shirts (a mix of thrifted and favorites)
• Birkenstocks
• Tennis shoes – Hoka

Miscellaneous

And last, here are a few other trip-related items that I’m packing, beyond wardrobe.

• Wet bag
• Reef safe sunscreen
• Toiletries bag
• Tinted moisturizer
• Water phone pouch
• Travel backpack

As the trip looms closer, I’m getting more and more excited to be packing for Maui. It will be so fun to wear these outfits in paradise. I can’t wait!
