These Dresses Are Perfect for Your Summer Vacation—and They’re All on Amazon

I got this dress last summer, and it’s perfect packing on a long weekend getaway. The wrap around tie belt allows this to work as a quick cover-up for a beach day, and the fabric has a stretchy feel that makes it as comfortable to wear as a t-shirt. Plus, I get tons of compliments whenever I wear it.

Heading on a bachelorette trip this summer? This pleated mini is the way to go. Made from a light chiffon, this flirty find is lightweight and breathable for when the temps during your travels get hot.

This one is currently sitting in my shopping cart and waiting for payday because I need to add this to my closet before my upcoming East Coast vacay. I love the subtle dots that add texture, while the belt defines the waist of this dress for understated elegance. As someone with a larger bust, I really like that it has a snap on the wrap v-neck top that keeps this from gaping.

This caftan dress can be a cover-up by the beach or as you explore a new city this summer while still looking put-together. The blue-and-white pattern is effortless, while the flowing silhouette makes it breathable. Since it’s designed to be oversized, you don’t have to stress as much about fit.

One Size

I normally don’t love a dress with just one shoulder strap, but I’d make an exception for this one because it is just so pretty. This floral maxi has big island energy if you are heading somewhere tropical, and the tiered silhouette gives it some structure without sacrificing breathability.

The cap sleeves on this floral midi make it good for spring, summer, or fall, and the cotton sateen fabric feels silky and lightweight. I like the black-and-white print since it’s effortless to wear with colorful accessories, but it also comes in solid colors, too.

This colorful maxi dress with puff sleeves is sure to make you stand out from the crowd no matter if you’re walking through the streets of Rome or heading to an island. This effortless look comes in 22 different patterns and colors, so you can find your favorite.

What could be cuter than taking vacation family photos in matching mommy and me dresses? This one from Sofia Grainge’s collection with Amazon Essentials comes in a few different colors and patterns, with sizes for adults and children from newborn to 2 years. It’s also adorable even if you don’t have kids, thanks to the ruched waistline and square-neck silhouette.

Sizes: XS-XXL

This dress looks like you’d fit right in with the cast of Mad Men, which makes it a great look for an upscale dinner on a cruise that requires something a bit polished. I love the classic fit-and-flare style that looks good on a lot of body types.

Sizes: XS-3XL

As a plus-size shopper, I often struggle with inconsistent sizing; an XXL in one brand feels like a medium in another. This one goes up to a true 5X and slips on like a t-shirt. I love that comes in colorful patterns so you’ll be ready to stand out on your next trip.

Sizes: XS-5XL

Summer is the perfect time to break out those mini dresses, and this one is just $15, so you can score a few different patterns and colors. I like the classic black and white as an alternative to the usually bold florals for vacation and appreciate the visual interest of the horizontal striping.

For those that love the boho style, this dress is perfect. It’s a lightweight fabric that comes in more than 20 colors and can be worn on chilly nights with a denim jacket. I love that you can get a lot of use out of this one even post-trip, as you can style this up or down with strappy sandals or cowboy boots.
