As someone who travels constantly, nothing makes me happier than packing for a warm-weather trip. In addition to spending time in the sun, I love that the outfits consist of lightweight pieces that pack easily and don’t take up too much space. That sentiment holds especially true when I rely on versatile dresses throughout a vacation.
I’m looking at some exciting trips over the next few months, so I’m taking the time now to ensure I have vacation-ready dresses for any occasion. Target’s new spring and summer arrivals include shift, drop-waist, and fitted styles, and they are all on sale for less than $25.

A New Day Knit Ballet Midi Shift Dress
Target
While I usually plan my outfits each day when packing, I love having a comfortable piece in my arsenal that I can rely on in a pinch. This breathable midi dress can be worn casually with sneakers or dressed up with heels, and the soft and stretchy jersey fabric ensures all-day comfort. One shopper who bought this piece for a trip to Italy said the dress is “lightweight,” “packable,” and “stylish.”
Universal Thread Eyelet Maxi Sundress
Target
While I love a simple vacation dress that is versatile for any occasion, I also always pack a statement dress meant for a special dinner or night out. This maxi dress, which features an eyelet pattern along the hem, will be a beautiful option. It has an elastic waistband for comfort, and there are even two side pockets for added convenience. One shopper said the dress is “so flattering,” adding that it is ideal “for spring and summer.”
A New Day Knit Midi Tank Dress

When it comes to packing for vacation, I need my outfits to be comfortable. This tank dress, which comes in black and tan and features a bold hem along the neckline, is a versatile option made from a soft, stretchy fabric. I love that I can wear it with both flats or heels for a few different looks, and one shopper said it’s “fitted but not tight,” which I like. Since it’s on sale for $15, I’m taking this as a sign to snag both colors for the season.
