Are you heading out of town this month for spring break or starting to plan a chic summer escape? We’re counting down the days until we can put our “Out of Office” auto-reply emails on and take a break from the daily grind!

Naturally, whenever we’re prepping our suitcases, overpacking becomes a major concern. Planning outfits is the only way to guarantee you’re not slapped with overweight baggages fees at the check-in desk. A game plan is key, and this just so happens to be a dress that we’re convinced you need for your next getaway!

Dresses are pretty much the ideal item to pack for vacations because they’re an all-in-one ensemble! They don’t take up tons of space, and you don’t have to waste your time gazing in the mirror as you figure out how to style it. Just grab your favorite pairs of heels or flats, add some accessories and you’re good to go! This maxidress is the perfect pick for a nice evening dinner while on a scenic vacay.

This is a halter-neck dress that cinches at the waist and billows out into a full-tiered skirt, which creates a romantic ruffled look. It’s made from a soft 100% cotton material that’s breathable and easy to wear, which bodes well for tropical locations.

This maxi comes in eight colors and prints. You can get it in a solid shade, including black, burgundy or bright orange. But if you prefer a pattern, you’ve got your pick of polka dots and florals — which are all beyond chic. As a bonus, the patterned dresses come with a belt that you can tie in a adorable bow to further accentuate your waist.

We’re loving the boho vibes that this dress serves — it just screams summertime style! Even if you don’t have a vacation coming up, you will find so many different occasions to rock this. It will look incredible at any backyard bash, and there’s no time like the present to scoop it up!
