DH and I are leaving for Kauai in 3 weeks and DH is concerned about how to dress. We don''t go to many upscale restaurants when we travel but we might visit one or two. Would a pair of slacks and a shirt be OK, or is that even necessary?
Kauai is really laid back. Last year we were caught in a sudden rainstorm while on the beach. My hair was coated with sand and salt. Escaping the rain, we walked into a restaurant looking worse than drowned rats and no one cared or gave us a second look.
P_M, we will be going to Kauai for our 7th time in March. DH doesn't even carry a pair of slacks any longer when we go. He will wear a nice pair of shorts and an aloha shirt to certain places, oregon coast vacation rentals but even that isn't necessary.
A formal attire is a nice polo type or Hawaiian style shirt - and "dress" shorts, although I always toss a pair of grey or khaki trousers and a blue sport coat - or a white linen one - in the suitcase just in case you want to appear top drawer.
We rarely wear anything fancier than nice shorts and tops, and my husband wouldn't bring a jacket to Hawaii if you paid him. Sometimes, he'll put on slacks and I might wear a sundress, but that is definitely as fancy as it gets for us.
The only place I dress up is when I dine at Kauai Grill at The St Regis. I still don't wear my best ball gown, but I do put on a pair of shoes not made of rubber. Kauai is casual. That's what I love about it.
