A hula dancer costume is a delightful choice that embodies the spirit of Hawaiian culture and the tropical charm of the Pacific Islands. The most common elements include a grass skirt or a traditional Hawaiian pa'u skirt, a bikini top or a Hawaiian print top, and perhaps a lei (a floral garland) around the neck. For those who want a more authentic and less commercial look, a tapa cloth skirt and a traditional Hawaiian kihei (a type of shawl) could be used. Alternatively, a fun twist could be a vintage hula girl costume inspired by the 1950s tiki culture, complete with a swing dress in tropical print.

Accessories can add an authentic and vibrant touch to a hula dancer costume. The lei is a must-have, usually worn around the neck, but also can be used as a headband or bracelets. Other accessories could include a haku lei (a floral crown), or 'uli'uli (feathered gourd rattles) to mimic the instruments used in hula performances. Tropical-themed jewelry, like shell or pearl necklaces and bracelets, also complement the look. For the hair, consider using tropical flowers such as orchids or hibiscus, either real or artificial. Finally, a pair of sandals or bare feet completes the costume.

Group hula dancer costumes offer numerous opportunities for coordinated fun. The group could decide to dress up as a traditional hula halau (dance group), with matching outfits and accessories. Each person could also represent different islands of Hawaii by wearing leis made from the official flower of each island. Another idea is to recreate a luau scene with some dressed as hula dancers, others as musicians playing ukuleles and drums, and still others as party guests in Hawaiian shirts and sundresses. This group costume idea is not only visually appealing but can also encourage participants to learn and appreciate the rich culture of Hawaii.
