Waikele Premium Outlets — our favorite shopping stop in Hawaii
Whenever I’m in Hawaii, I always stop by Waikele Premium Outlets —
and my favorite store there is honestly Polo Ralph Lauren.
Most people think:
“Even at the outlet, Polo is still expensive… right?”
But honestly — the deals can be amazing.

Polo varsity jacket: best deal yet
This time I picked up a varsity jacket that got discounted twice at checkout, and the final price was:
👉 $567.06 (down from $798!)
I saved about $255 — no hesitation, I paid right away 😂
🚗 How to get to Waikele from Waikiki
There are a few easy ways to get there, depending on your plan and luggage.
🚘 Rent a car (my favorite option)
- 25–30 minutes
- Free parking
👉 Perfect if you plan to shop a LOT.
🚌 Shuttle bus (super convenient)
Don’t want to drive? The shuttle is comfortable, air-conditioned, and picks you up directly in Waikiki.
👉 Reserve your Waikele shuttle here:

👉 Good for light shopping, not great if you’ll have many bags.
🛍 Polo store location + quick tips
Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store
94-790 Lumiaina St Suite 204, Waipahu, HI 96797
- Located near the center of the outlet
- Go early — popular sizes disappear fast
- The people leaving with huge shopping bags… usually came from here 🤭
🧥 Varsity jacket — honest wear review


Tried it on in-store… and it was an easy YES
- Heavier than expected (in a good way)
- Structured, premium-feeling fabric
- Clean embroidered patches + striped trims
- Works for campus style, casual looks, even golf
- Back in Korea, everyone keeps asking:
“Where did you get that jacket?” 😂
I honestly wasn’t planning to buy it —
but once the discount stacked at checkout, it was an instant “yes.”
💡 How I actually got the discount
1️⃣ In-store outlet promotion
The price dropped automatically at checkout.
2️⃣ Extra 15% off using the SIMON app
(Not the Polo app — the outlet membership app.)
Just sign up, show the barcode, and they scan it.
📩 If the app doesn’t work, you can register your email at the store and still get the discount.
💸 Final price breakdown

- Original price: $798
- In-store promotion: –$159.60
- SIMON app 15% off: –$95.76
- Tax: +$24.42
👉 Final total: $567.06
Total savings: $255.36
(roughly KRW 350,000 saved!)
✨ My quick takeaway
“Downloaded the SIMON app, saw the discount, and bought it immediately.
After this, I don’t think I can buy Polo at full price anymore.
Next time I’m coming with an empty suitcase — and heading straight to Waikele first.” 😆🧳
