If you love dressing up, it's easy to go overboard when shopping for a vacation. And if you love dresses, in particular, it can be tempting to buy a bunch that will look stunning in one Instagram photo, never to be worn again.


But what makes a great travel dress truly worth the splurge? Comfort and style are important, but for a woman on the go, versatility is key. Can it go from day to night? Does it look just as good with sneakers as it does with heels? Could you throw a sweater over it on a chilly day?

With breathable fabric, built-in shorts, and a phone pocket, this dress proves why Outdoor Voices is so popular with the sporty crowd. Take it hiking, biking, walking, or to the resort tennis court.



Your favorite oversized tee in dress form, this winner from Everlane is made of comfy cotton with a flattering drawstring waist. Think boardwalk strolling, ice cream dates, shopping, and gallery hopping.
