From Rome's streets to Venice's canals, this dress was more than attire – it symbolized my summer adventures. The fabric's gentle flutter kept me cool under Italy's scorching sun. Versatile, it suited cappuccino breaks and ruin explorations.
Its timeless design effortlessly transitioned from day to night, perfect for alleys and romantic trattorias. The dress flowed gracefully, matching Italy's ambiance. Practicality shone.

Perfect for that out-of-town work conference you're attending. (And post-conference drinks, too!) Promising review: "It has flexible styling that is perfect when the weather is warm and you would rather wear a cute dress than shorts. I packed it in an overnight bag and was pleasantly surprised that it was wrinkle-free after a quick shake after 24 hours in my bag.
While I did fold it nicely, it was not at the top of the bag. I ordered the burgundy and was pleased it is truly as shown in the images and not the weird pink that sometimes arrives when I order burgundy clothing. Sizing is accurate using the measurements.

A pull-on skinny jean promising the style and versatility of classic, worn-in denim jeans but with the stretch and comfort of leggings. 😍 Promising review: "These are my new go-to. I even choose these over my comfy yoga tights for casual wear.

Promising review: "As someone who only travels with a carry-on, I find that this dress is a must-have when packing. I can squish it down really small, no wrinkles, it’s the perfect multitasking packing staple. For reference, I’m a 34D, 25”, 36” hips, 5’5” tall, hourglass figure, and I usually wear a small, sometimes a medium.
Small fits perfectly without a lot of wiggle room." — Emily Get it from Outdoor Voices for $100 (available in sizes XXS–3XL and nine colors/patterns). 14.

. you name it, this dress has likely done it. So yeah, go ahead and add that destination hike to the itinerary.
Promising reviews: "I bought this dress for golfing and decided it would pack easy on my vacation and it did! I love the dress so much, I’m getting it in more colors. I’m active and white is not the easiest to keep clean but I don’t care. I haven’t washed it yet, the instructions say hand wash.
That is more work than I like, hopefully it lasts running through the wash. This is a perfect dress for a workout, dressing up with heels or dressing down." — Dee A.

It washes well, travels well, keeps its shape and keeps you warm!

you get the point. Definitely a dress you can wear several days of the trip with a completely different look. Promising review: "I bought this dress for a trip to Miami.
I would end up wearing it both as a dress and as a swimsuit cover-up and could not be happier. It is soft, breathable, and has deep, truly useable pockets. It packed v,ery well and I felt pretty wearing it.
Could not ask for more." — Becky in Iowa Get it from Amazon for $46.59+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and 20 colors).
18. A Hackwith Design House shirt designed to be worn ~six~ different ways, each way looking like a completely different shirt. Frequent flyers swear by this piece, especially those who only fly carry-on.
Hackwith Design House is a woman-owned small business. Their sustainable designs are made to order and sewn in their Minnesota studio. Their sizes run from XS to 4X.
Promising review: "I’m being honest when I tell you this is the most 'worth-it' top around. I read a review from some frequent flyer who claims this is her go-to for flying. She said aside from the top’s flexibility – which allows much less packing as the top itself looks and behaves like four shirts and a jacket – it’s a savior on planes because it allows you to get into a usually overheated plane and to weather the transition to iceberg, ho! that happens about twenty minutes into most flights.
It holds its shape and looks great. I was skeptical, as I do not have the money to blow on someone else’s opinion, but my husband told me to try it. I have the same issues with temps and he’s probably self-protecting so as not to hear me complain so much.
(And with Mrs. Menopause – well – if you know, you know!) Long story to be shortened, I got it; it’s a gorgeous fabric despite my usually hating the ribbed thing. Not for my pleasure, thank you.
But it’s nice. REALLY nice. Yes, it’s extraordinarily flexible, and yes, it’s like a jacket, and Yes, Virginia.
There is a travel shirt Santa Claus. Ordering in the off-white now. Glad I read the article, and glad I bought the shirt.
You should, too." — Mary B. Get it from Hackwith Design House for $145 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and in three colors).
19. A button-down shirt-dress with ruffle details made to be worn in any and all gardens, fields, and parks — which is exactly where you'll want to rock this outfit! Promising reviews: "Liked the dress so much that I bought two! The material is sturdy with a super cute cut. Not see-through at all.
I’ve never needed to iron them (even after being packed in a suitcase). The colors are just as pictured and they launder beautifully. Also, the pockets lay flat so they don’t give that widened hip appearance.
Overall, super happy with these purchases and people have complimented both!" — KC "Easy to travel with/no ironing. This dress packs very well for any type of event. Dressed up or down.
I would definitely recommend it! The fabric doesn’t have much give so purchase based on your body type/size. A size medium fit perfect for my smaller frame." — Kristin B Get it from Amazon for $35.
99 (available in sizes S–XL and 19 colors). 20. A floral cover-up for an easy way to spruce up your vacay outfits.

22. A stunning ombre maxi dress because it looks like a vibrant painting that came to life..
.so yes, people will likely stop, stare, and contemplate your beauty, and maybe even wonder why you're not on display in the Louvre (jk). 😍 Oh, and it's also available in many other colors and patterns, including solids.
Promising review: "This dress is pretty, has pockets, and is comfortable. I packed it in an overnight bag, and there were no wrinkles. It's a fairly heavy fabric but doesn't lose its shape.
I'm impressed." — Lorena Harris Get it from Amazon for $25.49 (available in sizes S–5XL and 38 colors/patterns).
23. A breathable lightweight rain jacket that roll ups to fit into a small mesh travel pouch. It's best to be prepared people, even if the forecast isn't calling for rain! Promising review: "I've used this jacket a few times now since buying it in Oct '23 and I'm ready to give it two thumbs way up! It's roomy and comfortable without looking bulky or poncho-esque.
It is cut well for wide hips so it fits right around your waist and hips too. I also like the adjustable elastic cinch at the hood and waist. It has loads of deep pockets to store your phone, keys, wallet, and passport, and keeps everything zipped up and dry.
A small zippered pocket at the breast makes things easy to get to. I used the jacket once snow tubing in the Rocky Mountains (over top warmer layers), and again not recently in the on-and-off rainy weather in Ireland. The jacket held up beautifully in both situations.
The jacket itself is not lined nor warm, but it was the perfect waterproof shell for me! I also love that it packs into a lightweight cinch sack, which made it easy to take internationally. When cinched, it's actually smaller than my travel neck pillow. For these reasons and its very reasonable pricetag, I highly recommend!" — Alena Get it from Amazon for $55.
99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 11 colors). 24. A linen jumpsuit-overalls hybrid so you can embody those easygoing-carefree vacay vibes the instant you change your Slack status to "OOO.

..the perfect summer dress! (Packs well and steams well, too!)" — Lainnie Get it from Amazon for $39.
99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 18 colors). 26. A pair of cargo-style joggers that are the ideal choice for anyone planning a more active vacation.
They're lightweight, quick-dry, and uber functional with five pockets! Promising review: "These pants are durable, comfortable, and fantastic for travel! They pack lightly, wear lightly, and don't wrinkle. They have lots of secure pockets too! I definitely want more pairs!" — Amy Waite Get it from Amazon for $34.98+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 15 colors).
27. A darling faux-wrap dress since it's really hard to go wrong with something this cute, comfy, and fun — especially when it has pockets. Promising review: "This dress is spectacular.
The sunflowers pop, the comfort is phenomenal and I received many compliments when wearing this dress. Great for work or for a summer party or event. It was perfect to pack for my work travel and was not wrinkled at all.
LOVE IT." — Colette Vallee Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 16–24 and 13 colors/patterns).
