We'd bet money if you were to list out the key pieces you need to pack for your next hiking trip, a dress wouldn't likely make the cut. But we're here to tell you to reconsider.

Made from performance-level fabric to rival your favorite leggings or pants, these dresses from Athleta are here to show you that your favorite spring activities — yes, even hiking — could benefit from a skirt upgrade. No matter what level of trail your spring vacation has in store, these sporty dresses show that you can and should pack a dress in your next weekender. Shop our picks from Athleta for some serious spring style.
