Most Popular Hawaiian Leis for Men

These are the styles families order most for male graduates, fathers, and honorees. Each ships fresh from Hawaii.

Ti Leaf Leis

A thick, lightly fragrant lei that makes a statement without trying hard. The double ti leaf maile style lei is a traditional choice for male graduates and honorees. It drapes well, holds its shape through a full graduation day, and dries beautifully as a keepsake. For a more formal look, order it wrapped with orchids or fragrant tuberose. Shop All Ti Leaf Leis

Maile Style Lei

When the occasion carries real weight, the Maile style lei fits. Families choose it for graduation, promotions, and ceremonies where the moment matters. The open-end style is traditionally Hawaiian, and it wears with a kind of quiet dignity that suits most men well. Note: Due to agricultural restrictions, Hilo Maile cannot be shipped to California. Ti Leaf Maile will be substituted.  Shop All Maile Style Leis  

Cigar Lei

Round, tightly woven, and sculptural. The cigar lei stands apart from a flat strand lei in both look and feel. A good pick for a graduate or honoree who wants something distinctive without going floral. 

Kukui Nut Lei

For graduation day or any milestone worth marking, the kukui nut lei is the go-to for men. Polished black or dark brown nuts give it a clean, graphic look. It sits heavier than a flower lei, holds up through a long ceremony, and photographs sharply in graduation robes. Durable enough to last from the ceremony through the celebration after.

Classic Purple Orchid Lei

The most recognized Hawaiian lei style. Fresh purple dendrobium orchids strung into a full, fragrant strand and shipped to arrive ready to wear. Shop All Orchid Lei Styles

White Dendrobium Orchid Lei

Clean, elegant, and formal. A double white orchid lei works for men who want something polished for graduation day or a Father's Day dinner. White dendrobium orchid reads sharp against dark graduation robes and suits any occasion that calls for something refined.

Tinted Orchid Lei in School Colors

For a male graduate with strong school pride, tinted orchid leis dyed in his school's colors make the statement clearly. We carry a range of colors to match most university and high school combinations. Shop All Tinted Orchid Lei

Graduation Leis for Guys

Graduation season in Hawaii means leis stacked high, given by family and friends, worn from ceremony through the celebration that follows. That tradition has spread across the mainland, and it belongs equally to male graduates. The style tends to differ. Female graduates often receive orchid or fragrant tuberose flower leis. Male graduates more commonly wear kukui nut, double ti leaf, maile style, or cigar leis. Heavier styles. Bolder. Built to hold up through a full graduation day. There is no wrong lei to give a male graduate. The most memorable ones get chosen with him in mind: his style, his school colors, whether the occasion calls for something traditional or something that stands out in the photos. If you are unsure, orchid leis are loved by all.

Leis for Father's Day

A fresh Hawaiian lei is one of the few gifts a dad actually wears. Father's Day falls right in the middle of graduation season, and the same styles that work for a male graduate work well for a father being honored. Kukui nut and ti leaf are perennial favorites. The cigar lei is a strong pick for a dad who appreciates something a little different. Order with your Father's Day delivery date selected at checkout. We ship nationwide, scheduled to arrive the day you choose.
