What To Men Wear To Hawaiian Job Interviews?

I’m from the east coast, and I’ve never been to Hawaii, but I’m flying there next week for some job interview with Hawaiian companies: typical upscale white collar Fortune 500 companies.

I have a friend who moved there, and he said formal business attire in Hawaii, is standard business pants or khakis, with an untucked floral print shirt, and if I dress in a normal suit and tie, I’ll actually seem uncultured and unaware of appropriate business custom locally.

So, which is it?

Should I dress in a suit and tie like I would for any other state?

Or do people really show up at job interviews in Hawaii and go to work, in untucked floral print shirts?

Okay – What to wear?

Okay, so – My 21st is coming up, and I’m like super excited. My boyfriend is taking me out to dinner the night before for just a like private romantic night, but the actual night of my birthday – everyone is going out to party (And then the day after, I’m flying to Hawaii with my boyfriend for a week)

Anyways – for literally like two months, I have been trying to find the perfect party dress for when we go out.

It has to be a bright color (Preferable pink) and it needs to stand out, I want all eyes on me.

I want people to know it’s my night!

Normally, it would have been easy for me to find something, there was a really cute pink dress at Nordstroms that I liked but I didn’t like that the back was covered up, I want it to be backless or tied.

Links would be great!
Nice brands please, don’t care about how much it costs.

Meaning like Nordstroms, Saks, Neiman, etc…nothing below that.

What do you think I should do…?

Here’s the situation:My wife’s nephew is getting married.His wife is from a family with money.They’re getting married in Hawaii.My wife’s family (and us) cannot afford this and told the couple this.His Mother would have to borrow the money to go .The bride-to-be is adamant about it and there is no changing her mind because her sister was married there.Now get this:after learning that no one could afford to go,Daddy Warbucks offers to fly us there and put us up in a hotel for the better part of a week.To me,this is demeaning and has been handled wrong.He should have offered up front if he was willing to do this.His daughter knew ahead of time the financial burden that it would be to everyone.Now,my wife wants to go because she is close to her nephew.I am not willing to go and spend money we don’t have and take time from work to go across the country.I really don’t want her to go ,either,but are my hands tied?I don’t want to argue…what are your thoughts?
