What is traditional Hawaiian clothing?

1 Answer
Traditional Hawaiian clothing is the term for garments, jewelry and accessories that have a long history dating back to the Indigenous people of the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the climate, Hawaiian traditional clothing tends to be simple. Men typically wear a malo or loincloth, while women wear a pa'u skirt or a kīkepa dress. Both men and women may sport a rectangular shawl called a kihei. Shop a diverse assortment of traditional clothing on 1stDibs.
