I'm Traveling to Europe This Summer, and These Are the 12 Wrinkle-free Dresses I'm Eyeing for Vacation—Starting at $25
I'm heading to Europe this summer with two dreamy destinations on the itinerary: Italy and France. While I still need to finalize the finer details of where to eat and what to see, I've been laser-focused on a much more pressing matter: what to pack. Specifically, I'm looking for the kind of easy, wrinkle-resistant summer dresses that travel well and still look luxe after hours in a suitcase. Because, let's be honest—nothing kills a vacation's vibe faster than calling your hotel's front desk to borrow a steamer. After spending more time than I'd like to admit scrolling through Amazon, I found a lineup of stylish travel outfits, from billowy maxi dresses to multifunctional midi dresses. For sunset dinners in Nice, wine tours in Provence, and espresso stops in Paris, these are all breezy, versatile, and start at just $25. So, consider this your packing shortcut for the season. If a dress could capture the spirit of summer, it would be this royal blue eyelet number. Lightweight, breathable, and filled with beautiful details, I'd pair it with white sneakers and a crossbody for daytime sightseeing in Rome. For a high-end dinner look, swap in gold flats and statement earrings. With 22 colors to choose from, you might be tempted to grab more than one before your next trip. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon This pleated stunner would look just as good at a vineyard in Tuscany as it would at a summer soirée while you're home. The structured pleats make it look polished, elevated, and far more expensive than its $50 price tag. Its wrinkle resistance makes it a savvy suitcase addition. Style it with block heels and a straw clutch for a wedding or keep it simple with strappy sandals and a sunhat on a day out. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon For just $30, this plaid maxi is a steal—and it'll look like a dream in photos. With ruffled sleeves and a cinched waist, it's the kind of outfit you'll want to wear from brunch in Paris to sunset cocktails in Brooklyn. It's breathable, lightweight, and easy to dress up or down with espadrilles or sneakers. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon This casual-cool midi dress is the piece you'll reach for again and again—especially while on vacation. The tie waist and side slit add shape to the breezy silhouette, and it works as a standalone outfit or even a swimsuit cover-up. Pair it with slides and a tote for the beach, or layer it with a denim jacket and white sneakers for travel days. One shopper said they wore it on five flights—now that's just the kind of comfort we can get behind. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon This halter midi is destined for any summer occasion: weddings, rooftop dinners, European strolls. The open back and high-cinching waist add shape while still maintaining an airy look and feel. The sky blue color is as photogenic as it gets—dress it up with espadrilles and delicate jewelry, or go more relaxed with leather slides and a basket bag. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon Plaid for summer? Absolutely—especially when it looks this good. With its flowing shape and soft material, this dress is perfect for exploring farmer's markets or having a long lunch alfresco. Go for crisp white accessories by day, then add raffia heels and a bold lip for night. One reviewer praised the quality, calling it flattering and wrinkle-resistant—a major plus for travelers. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon If there's one travel essential every wardrobe needs, it's a go-to black midi dress, and this one has a relaxed fit, side pockets, and endless styling potential. It works for city walks, office days, or even happy hour. Pair it with sneakers and sunnies for day, or add heeled sandals and a statement necklace for a night out. Bonus: It packs like a dream and costs just $30. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon A vacation dress that makes a statement, this two-toned pink midi has a subtle side cutout and breezy slit. It's playful without being over the top, so you can wear it with platform sandals for a rooftop party or layer with a denim jacket and sneakers for daytime exploring. The bold color combo will look especially good in golden hour photos. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon Whether you're headed to a beach club in Ibiza or lounging poolside at a resort, this striped mini doubles as a cover-up and day dress. The material is lightweight and easy to toss in a carry-on. Style it effortlessly with a wide-brimmed hat, straw bag, and sandals. At just $25, it's the kind of travel MVP you'll thank yourself for packing. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon With its simple shape and elegant black trim, this maxi dress feels equal parts timeless and versatile. It's the kind of piece you can wear to a dinner in Mykonos or a wine tasting in the South of France. Style it with minimal gold jewelry and slides for a laid-back vibe, or elevate it with wedges and a sleek updo. Reviewers say that like all of the items I'm eyeing on this list, it resists wrinkles—no steamer needed. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon If yellow is your signature summer color, this dress is calling your name. The flowy silhouette and delicate ruffle hem looks feminine and fresh, while the color pops beautifully against beachy backdrops and golden sunsets. Think: strolling along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice or sipping aperol in Amalfi. Add strappy sandals and cat-eye sunglasses to complete the look. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon Lightweight thanks to a linen-blend fabric, this little red dress is a must-pack for hot summer days. The open back gives it that vacation flair, and the pockets are practical for exploring. Wear it on a coastal wine tour with espadrilles or over your swimsuit for a beach day. Either way, it's the kind of easy-chic piece that looks effortless and polished all at once. Credit: Amazon Credit: Amazon Love a great deal?
