Traveling in constricting jeans or pants is the worst — especially if you have a long road trip or flight ahead of you. But contrary to popular belief, it’s actually very possible to be both comfortable and cute while traveling (though the airport attire that’s often advertised would like you to believe differently!).

The ultimate solution for ditching your denim all together in favor of something more comfortable and packable? A dress, of course. We’re no strangers to appreciating the versatility of a great dress — from midi dresses to maxi dresses and beyond, we genuinely love them all here at POPSUGAR. Though when it comes to travel, the style often feels criminally underrated — which is why we’re more than happy to make the case for it now.

There are plenty of dress options that are light and floaty so you can relax on a plane or long road trip — while still feeling effortlessly put together and cute, too. And to help you in your search for the perfect travel dress, we curated a selection of the very best options that are easy to pack, wrinkle-free, comfy, and incredibly stylish in any season. Shop through these genius choices and get yourself one before your next vacation. Consider it a smart investment.
