Wearing beach sandals to a formal event or party? We suggest pairing Tuahine with a lightweight, fun colored linen suit and a crisp white collared shirt.

A Night On the Town
Nothing beats a beachside nightcap or dancing on the town–and our ‘Ilikai and Kāmola casual sandals are great for day-to-night versatile wear. Made with a soft, curved line that mimics a calm ocean surface, we love these sandals for occasions like a rehearsal dinner, a honeymoon celebration, or a shoreside aperitif. Designed to provide all-day comfort and stability, these sandals are the perfect choice for anyone who wants to look and feel their best no matter where their day takes them. Made for the beach, so we suggest keeping these beauties away from the ocean.
On a warm, summer night pair both of these versatile sandals with a comfortable linen pant and a tank, or look equally as stylish on a chilly night, with a pair of dark wash denim and a cozy sweater.
Strolling the Shore
A nighttime walk is a magical way to end a formal event on the beach, and styling your favorite beach sandals for a chic summer look is easier than you think. Bring Kāpehe Luana and Ulele along on your next destination wedding for ultimate comfort all day long. We love these styles for their ultimate comfort and elevated versatility: easily pair them with a more formal look as a guest for a beachside wedding, or treat yourself to a fancy dinner and pair these with your dressed up look for the occasion.
