5. Lei
While not a dress per se, the lei is an essential accessory in Hawaiian culture. The lei is a garland made from flowers, shells, or other materials, and it is worn around the neck or head. The lei represents love, friendship, and celebration, and it is often given as a welcoming gesture or worn during special occasions. The lei adds a touch of natural beauty and fragrance to any outfit, making it an integral part of Hawaiian attire.
