And everyone can wear it since the dress comes in regular, petite, and plus-size options.

Whether you want to maximize modesty or show off a little bit, the Leota Plus-Size Reversible Boatneck Dress has you covered … literally.

Toad&Co Rosalinda Dress

<a href="https://www.toadandco.com/womens/clothing/dresses/Rosalinda-Dress-with-Pocket" target="_blank">Toad&amp;Co's Rosalinda Dress</a> is polished enough for pretty much any occasion, yet still comfortable enough to wear on every journey. That's thanks to its unique Samba knit blend of Tencel, organic cotton, and spandex. We also appreciate the double-layer fabric that helps keep you warm.

ExOfficio Women's 3/4 Sleeve Wanderlux Dress

ExOfficio's new Wanderlux fabric is appropriately named—it's great for travel, thanks to its smooth and super-soft jersey blend that will go anywhere without wrinkling. The 3/4-sleeve dress has a hidden security zip pocket built in to the side that's perfect for your passport, phone, or cash.

Nau M2 Long Sleeve Hoodress

Our eternal dilemma: wanting to wear a sweatshirt on the plane to be comfortable, but not wanting to look like a slacker in the airport. Enter nau's M2 Long Sleeve Hoodress, a dress with a cowl neck that transforms to a hood. Its Merino wool/Tencel fabric blend offers up lightweight warmth and odor-resistance, and the loose fit is designed for easy layering. Plus, it's got pockets to store everything you want to keep in easy reach while you're on a flight.

Coolibar Coastline Dress

Spending your fall vacation near the water? You need the Coolibar Coastline Dress, with its UPF 50 sun protection and chlorine- and saltwater-resistant aqua SUNTECT fabric. It's stylish and flattering as well, thanks to its shape-preserving four-way stretch and elastic waistline.

Patagonia Kamala Cowl Neck Dress

<a href="https://www.moosejaw.com/product/patagonia-women-s-kamala-cowl-neck-dress_10252874" target="_blank">Moosejaw's description of the Patagonia Kamala Cowl Neck Dress</a> says it all: "Not even a cross-Atlantic red-eye made this lovely cowl-neck pullover lose its shape." That's due to its organic cotton/Tencel lyocell blend that doesn't sag or cling, no matter how long you wear it.

Royal Robbins Essential Nara Dress

We'd wear the Royal Robbins Essential Nara Dress even if we weren't traveling—the asymmetric twist neck crew gives it a stylish touch. The Nara can stand up to whatever you throw at it—it's got UPF 50 sun protection, a comfortable stretch, wrinkle-resistance, and a quick-drying material.
