The Best Vacation Maxi Dresses

Going to Europe, or spending much of your time in a city? You need to try this Floerns off-the-shoulder dress! This one makes me feel like a million bucks. It is so flattering. The shirred bodice stretches to fit, making it form fitting but still very comfortable. The dress features two slits in the front, one on the left and the other on the right of the dress. The slits come up to my upper thigh. (See it on me here, as well.)

The XS measures 41.5 inches long. It is perfect on my 5’2” frame. The bottom of this dress does wrinkle quite a bit, but the wrinkles do come out quite easily with a steamer. The fabric is 100% rayon, but it is comfortable and washes well. Additionally, this dress comes in multiple colors!

If you’re looking for an off-the-shoulder dress with long sleeves, I love this one from the same company.

The Best Halter Maxi Dresses

If you love floral patterns, this Ecowish halter maxi is one of the best dresses on Amazon, and it’s under $40! I love the cut of this one. The top of the halter to the bottom of the dress measures 53 inches long. It is perfect for my petite frame, with or without heels. I’ve chosen to pair it with espadrilles for this look, but it would look amazing with heels, as well.

The back of the halter fastens with a button, and there is a subtle ruffle on the bottom portion of the dress. The fabric is made of 95% polyester and 5% spandex. It feels cool and comfortable on my skin, and the fabric doesn’t wrinkle. This maxi dress also comes with a matching sash to tie around the waist. I’ve opted to leave it off here, but it looks lovely with it as well. I purchased a size small. Also, if you’d prefer a different color or pattern, the dress comes in multiple designs.

As an added bonus, this dress washes beautifully. I use the delicate cycle on my laundry machine and put it in a laundry bag for added protection.

If you’re looing for an even more colorful maxi dress, I’d suggest this bold blue and red dress from Vakkest!

The Best Beach Vacation Dresses

If you are heading somewhere tropical, try this floral maxi dress. Like the others above, this comes in multiple colors and patterns, and it is so comfy! Because it’s so soft, it was my dress of choice to wear on the plane ride home from San Diego a few weeks ago. The fabric is 95% cotton and 5% spandex. Therefore, it doesn’t wrinkle at all, making it really easy to pack along in your suitcase.

The dress measure 52 inches from top to bottom. This particular dress is a little long for me when I wear flats, but it is perfect with heels. The waist is stretchy and falls slightly above my natural waistline. And as a bonus, the dress has pockets! I’m wearing a size small.

If you’re looking for a solid color beach vacation dress, I’d also suggest this embroidery V-neck maxi dress, this square neck ruffle maxi dress, or this off-the-shoulder chiffon maxi dress.



Best Casual Dresses on Amazon

If you’re looking for the best Amazon dresses for casual occasions, start with this pink polka dot dress! At 33.5 inches long, this hits right below my knees. The spaghetti straps are adjustable, and the buttons do not gap on me at all. I love pairing it with a white belt, though if you’d prefer no belt, there is already a thin waistline in the dress that falls right above my natural waist. The fabric is 65 % polyester and 35% cotton. It is a breathable fabric, and it doesn’t wrinkle!

This dress also comes in several colors and patterns, from size small to x-large. I’m wearing a small here. If you’d prefer the same pattern, but with asymmetrical buttons, try out this A-line dress. This short-sleeve dress features the polka dot pattern in several colors, and this adorable sleeveless dress would be perfect for a garden party or casual baby shower. Or, try this ruched tank dress for everyday comfort!

Best Work Dresses on Amazon

And the winner for the best dress on Amazon is . . . this Merokeety striped short sleeve dress. This is the easiest dress to wear, and I am honestly surprised at how much I love it! Firstly, it’s incredibly versatile. Going to work? Add heels. Running errands? Add sneakers. Going on a casual date? Add flats. I have worn this for all three occasions, and it has made me feel so confident each time!

If you need additional reasons to add this dress to your closet, it has pockets, comes in multiple colors, and is incredibly comfortable to wear. It’s 65% rayon and 35% polyester. I’ve washed it several times, and it hasn’t pilled, shrunk, or faded. The attached belt also gives you a lovely hourglass shape. I’ve worn this all summer long and will be wearing it well into fall!

For other work dresses on Amazon, I’d suggest this black and white midi dress, this pencil dress (also comes in multiple colors), or this high-low faux wrap dress.

If you need wedding guest dresses, bridal shower dresses, or any other type of special occasion dress, my favorite Amazon fashion finds in this category are this long sleeve lace dress, this split ruffle dress, and this short lace dress. I’ll update with more once I choose which one to buy!
