What exactly makes a dress perfect for traveling? For us, there are several key players. First and foremost, it should be comfortable, so no matter how long your walks are or how late your dinners run, you won't be dying to take it off at the end of the day. Versatility is the second most important trait. The more you can wear it with, the less you need to pack. Ahead, you'll find 17 dresses that fit the bill for your next trip. You can mix and match them with just about every shoe and jacket in your closet. What are you waiting for? Get yours before it's too late.
