Amiya Wrap Midi Dress

Leota is a New York-based, women-led company that creates the most travel-friendly dresses I’ve ever tried. Its signature breathable jersey fabric is wrinkle-free, machine-washable, lightweight, and not even close to being see-through. The fabric is perfect for fall weather, and the dress designs all look super polished. The Amiya Dress is ideal for travel since it’s made from an easy-to-pack fabric that never wrinkles. The eye-catching neckline looks great in travel photos, as does the fun, abstract pattern.

Tired of fall dresses that don’t have pockets? AUSELILY Swing Dress’ pockets are designed to be “no bulge” so the dress won’t make you look bulky even if you’re carrying a lot.

This ultra-cozy sweater dress is made for fall travel days. Pair it with some fleece-lined leggings on your next long-haul flight and you’ll feel almost as comfortable as you would lounging on the couch at home. Comes in warm brown or charcoal grey.

Pair it with comfortable flats or sneakers to dress it down for the plane or add a stylish fall boot to complete the outfit.

GAP Pocket T-Shirt Dress

Pair GAP’s T-Shirt Dress with sneakers during the day for a casual look, and with a nice sweater and heels once the sun goes down for a warmer nighttime outfit. This versatile fall dress is comfortable, stylish and doesn’t take up much room in a suitcase.

prAna Milani Henley Dress

The prAna Milani Henley Dress is another must-have for fashion and comfort. The slouchy silhouette is oversized without being overwhelming and the sustainable waffle-knit fabric brings all the style and comfort of your favorite henley shirt.
