At Coconut Ave, weâre always dreaming of ways to make your wardrobe feel like an endless island getaway. Pieces that move with you from sunrise dips in the ocean to sunset cocktails. Staples that embody island living while still looking polished enough for the office, a dinner date, or that impromptu trip you booked just because you needed a little adventure.
Thatâs exactly what inspired our newest silhouette: The Cabana.
Weâve taken the familiar comfort of the classic T-shirt and reimagined it with a resortwear twist. Breezy, elevated, and versatile, our Cabana styles are designed to be lived in. Whether you slip on the Cabana Dress for a farmerâs market stroll, pair the Cabana Crop Top with your favorite high-rise shorts, or choose the full-length Cabana Top for an easy office-to-beach look, these new silhouettes keep you looking and feeling effortlessly put-together.
Letâs dive into each one.
Â
1. The Cabana Crop Top
If youâve ever wished your favorite vintage T-shirt had a little more structure, breathability, and island-ready flairâthis is it.
The Cabana Crop Top is our reimagined short-sleeve shift top, cut in a perfectly cropped length that hits just right. Made from lightweight 100% rayon, it drapes beautifully while keeping you cool even on the warmest days. The fabric moves with youâwhether youâre biking down the coast, dancing barefoot at a beach bonfire, or simply enjoying a slow morning with coffee on the lanai.
The silhouette draws inspiration from classic aloha shirts and vintage resort wear, but weâve simplified and modernized it for todayâs island lifestyle. The result? A timeless yet versatile piece that pairs with everything:
-
With denim shorts: A go-to look for sunny afternoons at the farmers market.
-
With swim bottoms: Toss it on over your bikini or one-piece for instant coverage and style.
-
With jeans or trousers: A relaxed yet chic outfit for casual Fridays or a quick dinner in town.
Think of the Cabana Crop Top as your vacation wardrobe essentialâeven if your âvacationâ is simply running errands in the sunshine.
2. The Cabana Top
Meet the big sister to the crop top: the Cabana Top.
With the same short-sleeve shift cut and airy 100% rayon fabric, this full-length style gives you a little extra coverage while maintaining that same island ease. Itâs polished enough to wear tucked into a skirt for work, yet relaxed enough to throw on with cutoffs when youâre heading to the beach.
The Cabana Top is all about versatility. Itâs a shirt youâll reach for when you donât want to think too hard, but still want to look put-together. Its structured drape is flattering on all body types, and the timeless design means it wonât go out of style next seasonâor the one after that.
Some of our favorite pairings:
-
Over swimwear: Slip it on after a surf session for a chic âbeach-to-townâ transition.
-
With flowy pants: The lightweight rayon balances perfectly with wide-leg trousers or palazzos for a resort-ready evening look.
-
Tucked into a skirt: A breezy yet professional office outfit that still channels island vibes.
The Cabana Top is one of those pieces youâll wonder how you ever lived without.
3. The Cabana Dress
And then thereâs the star of the collection: the Cabana Dress.
A short-sleeve mini shift dress that feels like your favorite oversized T-shirtâbut infinitely more stylish. Crafted in breathable rayon with a relaxed silhouette, this dress has an easy pull-on design that requires zero effort but always looks polished.
Whether youâre slipping it on post-swim or styling it up with sandals and jewelry for a night out, the Cabana Dress is as versatile as it gets. Itâs equally at home at the office, on the beach, or at your favorite pau hana happy hour.
We designed this piece for those days when you want to feel light, comfortable, and carefree. Itâs your âthrow it on and goâ dressâthe one that works for everything:
-
Farmers market strolls: With a woven tote and slides.
-
Travel days: Effortless, breathable, and wrinkle-friendly.
-
Sunset cocktails: Add a bold necklace and wedge sandals.
-
Beach cover-up: The easiest layer over your Coconut Ave swimwear.
This is also a personal favorite of our founders, Mahea and Kelly. The Cabana Dress has become their everyday go-toâwhether theyâre managing the shop, chasing after their little ones, or grabbing drinks after work. For them, it checks every box: comfortable, flattering, versatile, and endlessly wearable.
Why We Love the Cabana Silhouette
What sets the Cabana apart is how it blends everyday ease with island sophistication. At its core, the Cabana is about three things:
-
Comfort without compromise
Each piece is made from soft, lightweight rayon that breathes in tropical heat but still drapes beautifully. The relaxed silhouette means you never feel restrictedâbut you always look polished. -
Versatility
Whether you choose the crop top, full-length top, or dress, the Cabana works for almost every part of your day. Morning coffee runs, office hours, beach days, dinner datesâthe Cabana can do it all. -
Timeless design
Inspired by vintage aloha styles, the Cabana has a structured-yet-relaxed look that never feels too trendy. Itâs a silhouette youâll keep reaching for year after year.
Styling Inspiration
To help you envision the Cabana in action, here are a few ways weâre wearing it this season:
-
Cabana Crop Top + high-waisted linen shorts + slides = the ultimate casual weekend look.
-
Cabana Top + denim + gold hoops = chic enough for meetings, casual enough for cocktails.
-
Cabana Dress + woven tote + sunnies = your âvacation uniformâ even if youâre just running errands.

Cabana Dress + strappy sandals + bold lipstick = instant date night outfit.
Itâs the kind of effortless styling that makes you wonder why your whole wardrobe canât be this easy.
Designed for Island Living
At Coconut Ave, every new style we create is born from real life on the islands. We design pieces that we ourselves want to live inâpieces that can handle the salty air, the humid afternoons, and the spontaneous adventures.
The Cabana collection is no exception. Itâs inspired by the rhythm of island life: unhurried, sun-soaked, and always connected to nature. Each silhouette feels like a natural extension of the Coconut Ave lifestyleâwhere resort wear isnât just for vacations, itâs for everyday living.
From Founders Mahea + Kelly
When we set out to create the Cabana, we asked ourselves: What are the pieces we reach for most in our own lives? What do we need for days that start at the shop, include a beach stop with our kids, and end with dinner and drinks?
The answer was clear: we wanted silhouettes that could keep up with everything.
Thatâs why the Cabana styles are now part of our daily rotation. Theyâre the âno-brainerâ outfitsâthe ones you grab when you donât have time to fuss but still want to look and feel amazing. We love that the Cabana makes it possible to do it all without ever changing outfits.
