Where the Tiki Party style comes from
Tiki style comes from mid-century American bars and parties inspired by Polynesian art and island holidays. Torches, bamboo, tropical drinks and flower garlands became the signature of the tiki party.
It is a celebration of island fun, so the outfit should be light and playful: tropical prints, ocean blues and crisp white, flowers in the hair and easy sandals. It is a party look you can dance in barefoot on the sand.
Tiki party outfit ideas: what to wear
- A breezy dress with a tropical or ocean-blue print.
- A flower clip, crown or garland.
- Sunglasses for the sunset part of the party.
- A straw or woven bag.
- Shell, wooden or beaded jewellery.
- Flat sandals you can slip off on the sand.
