I always say a vacation is your opportunity to experiment with your style and try things you wouldn't normally wear in your day-to-day life. Want to try a bold color you typically shy away from or maybe embrace a pattern that's a little more on the wild side? I love to take a chance with my vacation dresses, but basic maxis and cover-ups are always in my suitcase too.
While I was shopping for some great new dresses to bring on my next vacation, these 31 picks, from fun minidresses to classic maxi- and midi-length options, stood out to me. Whether you're traveling somewhere locally or packing up your passport for an adventure, a chic dress is an absolute must.

I've always said vacation is the perfect time to embrace color.
I want to take this dress on a European summer vacation.
The rosette trend isn't going anywhere this summer, this white halter neck is the perfect way to try it out on vacation.
One of my personal favorite brands. This silhouette is so princessy, I would definitely wear this in Europe.
I'll be wearing linen dresses all summer. This black one would be so dreamy for a dinner out in Italy.
Sometimes you just have to go with a classic poplin dress.
I'd style this dress with a sun hat and simple flat sandals.
This dress is so dreamy, and I'm obsessed with the pockets.
Every summer I love a good white dress for a vacation. This one is stunning.
This one is a bit more of an investment dress, but wow, is it stunning.
While this is not a dress, this two-piece look is so pretty. I need it for my summer vacation.
