Vacation Dresses

The best dress for a resort vacation is one that looks polished without feeling too formal. Flowy maxi dresses, satin dresses, halter neck dresses and open back dresses are great choices for resort dinners, poolside drinks, beach clubs and warm evening events.

To reduce wrinkles, roll your vacation dresses instead of folding them flat. Lightweight satin, stretch fabrics and soft draped materials usually travel better than stiff fabrics. You can also hang the dress in the bathroom during a warm shower to help soften light creases before wearing.

Yes, many vacation dresses can work for destination weddings, beach weddings, birthday dinners and special events. Choose a more elevated style such as a satin maxi dress, floral midi dress, halter maxi dress or open back dress, and pair it with heels, a clutch and delicate jewelry.

Vacation dresses can be styled with flat sandals, strappy heels, wedges or simple slides depending on the occasion. Flat sandals are perfect for daytime plans, while heels or wedges make a vacation maxi dress look more elegant for dinners, parties and resort evenings.

A good vacation dress should be easy to pack, comfortable to wear and simple to style for different plans.
