As travels continues to pick up now that the peak of the pandemic is seemingly behind us, some of us might need a refresher on just what to bring with us while packing for a trip. Travel dresses are a great option but it can be tricky to know which dress is the right option. A lot depends on the weather, the type of travel, and just how formal you will need to be. While there are countless options, here are some awesome options to choose from.
The Best Travel Dresses
Polo Ralph Lauren Cotton Mesh Polo Dress
This one is the best sporty option, while still looking classy and refined. The dress is a bit form fitting and can run short, depending on your height, so keep that in mind. Since it’s Ralph Lauren, you know that this dress with the iconic Polo symbol won’t ever go out of style. It’s a great vacation option because it’s made of mesh cotton, which makes it very breathable. It costs $128 on the Ralph Lauren website.

Zara Satin Effect Cut Out Dress
This classy yet still affordable dress gives an elegant twist to the cut out dress. The midi dress is made of a light material that makes it great for summer travel and to locations with warm temperatures. One thing to keep in mind is that for anyone with a larger bust, the dress does not offer much support, so you might have to wear it with a bra. The dress costs $60 at Zara.
