Upgrade your next his and hers shopping escapade at Olive Boutique and Oliver Men’s Shop, neighboring boutiques in Kailua. Shift dresses and jewelry are well-stocked at Olive, while graphic tees and aloha shirts line the racks of its male counterpart, Oliver. For a never-ending assortment of chic sundresses, drop into any Mahina location found across the Islands (there are 12 of them total), though we recommend its flagship store that started it all in Paia, Maui. It’s attire fit for any sunny day in the Islands. Olive Boutique, 43 Kihapai St, Kailua, Oahu, (808) 263-9919; Oliver Men’s Shop, 49 Kihapai St, Kailua, Oahu, (808) 261-6587; oliveandoliverhawaii.com • Mahina, 23 Baldwin Ave, Paia, Maui, (808) 579-9131, shopmahina.com.

For the street

As if Oahu’s North Shore wasn’t already effortlessly cool enough, Number 808 adds to the coast’s laid-back modish reputation. Solid typography printed across washed tees and tailor fit dress shirts by way of Quality Peoples, a label co-founded by the boutique’s co-owner John Esguerra, are a notable favorite. Another highlight: The store regularly acquires a new wave of vintage jackets with Hawaiiana touchstones that have a coast to coast appeal. 66-165 Kamehameha Hwy, Haleiwa, Oahu, facebook.com/number808.
