Whether your upcoming Spring and Summer travel plans have you road tripping around the country or jet-setting off to an Instagram-worthy locale, packing for that vacation is probably going to be a serious burden. There are day activities that typically require a casual sundress and evening outings that you'll want to dress up for. Rather than buying something for each item on your itinerary, pick up separates that do double duty. Up ahead, we found seven pieces (shoes excluded) that you can wear during the afternoon and at night.

When you are spending the afternoon at a museum

One of the easiest, space-saving pieces to toss into your luggage is a dress. This printed maxi dress features an asymmetrical hem, and when worn with neutral-toned lace-up flats, you can really show off that aspect. If you're doing a lot of museum hopping, be sure to put on a straw hat to keep the sun out of your eyes.

When you are headed to dinner

A bonus of this flowing number is that it features an embellished neckline, so you don't need to pack a necklace. Following your day of museum visits, change up your shoes and put on neutral-toned heels to take your look seamlessly into the evening. Again, this shade looks great with the vibrant print.

When you are going on an afternoon cruise

The most essential wardrobe item for your afternoon jaunt on the water is a simple one-piece swimsuit. Because it's full coverage, you can wear it underneath a casual maxi skirt. And be sure to leave the flip-flops at home. A T-strap thong gladiator sandal with metallic studs will elevate this outfit.

When you are off to that quintessential fancy dinner

This front-slit maxi skirt has great button details at the seam, making it work for both casual and upscale moments. Here, we tucked in an elephant-print peasant top, which shows just the right amount of skin, and finished with ankle-tie sandals.

When you are exploring new attractions

Part of why you travel is to get out and experience a new area. Jeans are the obvious go-to, but because these have a slight high waist and flare, they're more modern than your traditional denim. If you're headed to a warm destination, a lightweight striped tank tucks in nicely with this pant.

When you are enjoying an early evening meal

The intricate detailing of this sleeveless cutout tank means, again, that you don't need to pack a necklace. Swap your flats for strappy dress sandals, and you're prepared for warm al fresco dining.
