What types of fabrics are best for vacation dresses?
The best fabrics for vacation dresses are those that combine comfort, breathability, and easy care.
Lightweight cotton and linen are warm-weather staples because they keep you cool while offering a relaxed, effortless look. Jersey knits and modal are also great choices since they drape beautifully, resist wrinkles, and pack easily in a suitcase.
For evenings out or a fancy dinner, chiffon and silky blends add a touch of elegance while still feeling light and airy. These fabrics not only travel well but also ensure your vacation dresses and attire feel stylish, versatile, and ready for anything from beach strolls to dinner.
What are the best dresses to wear on vacation?
Finding women’s vacation dresses can be a challenge. Here are a few guidelines you can use to help you decide what to bring:
Itinerary: Are you looking for resort dresses to wear on a vacation that will involve a lot of casual pit stops and sightseeing? Something that offers a lot of movement is probably best. If you’re prioritizing fine dining, you’ll want to stick to more formal dresses.
Weather: Vacation dress styles in lighter, breathable fabrics are best for warmer destinations, while thick fabrics or styles that lend themselves to layering are better for cooler climates.
Personal style: While vacation is an exciting opportunity to immerse yourself in something new, sticking to styles you know you’re comfortable in is usually best–you want to look back on those photos fondly, right? Choose silhouettes that you feel confident in and will be excited to wear on your trip.
No matter your style, our vacation dresses embody the relaxed style of a getaway and can be tailored to your plans. If you want an effortless daytime look, a flowy vacation dress is perfect for brunch and daytime gatherings or simply spending time with family at home. They are, of course, an obvious choice for beach days as well. Complete the look with a pair of sunglasses and a straw hat.
You can always elevate one of our vacation dresses for a nighttime ensemble with the right finishing touches and dressier shoes. Pair one of these casual dresses with a pair of embellished sandals or wedges and sleek accessories for romantic dinners and drinks with friends.
