No matter what time of the year it is, there's always time to daydream about your next vacation. Maybe you have your sights set on planning a girls' weekend?? Or perhaps a much-needed escape with the kids or a beach stay to get some peace and quiet with your significant other.
Whatever you're thinking, warm weather destinations call for a few staples: a swimsuit, a cover-up, flip flops, and sunglasses top the list. Another nice-to-have? Travel dresses are versatile pieces of clothing that instantly complete your getaway capsule. They're comfortable, multifunctional, one-and-done travel dresses that will withstand long days of adventuring.
The most packable styles are those that are made of wrinkle-resistant fabrics, but you'll also want to keep an eye out for breathable materials that keep you cool when you’re on the go. Relaxed fits and modest silhouettes are easy to wear on the plane (anyone else like to curl up in their seat and binge on mini pretzels?), while versatile T-shirt styles and flowy maxis are road-trip-ready. And how can we forget pockets?! Never more convenient, they’re perfect to hold your ticket to the museum, stash your sunglasses, or even carry some hand sanitizer. When you're exploring on your feet all day, pair your dress with casual sneakers before swapping them with walkable wedges for a night out—consider your packing woes solved.
To bid you bon voyage, we found the most comfortable travel dresses that will get you jet-set prepped in no time.
