After my Laguna Beach Packing List Wednesday, I have Spring Break at the beach on my mind!  I put together a quick round up to share with you of the best dresses for a beach vacation.

DRESSES THAT GO FROM POOL TO PATIO

Navy Terry Tunic Dress / Similar Wedges

One of my favorite dresses to go from pool to cocktails is this terry tunic.  It is one of my Spring and Summer Style staples.  Paired with sandals for the beach or pool and wedges for evening, it’s a must have!  I have it in both navy and white (seen here).  There is also a sleeveless version.

Pastel Gauze Maxi Dress / Similar Straw Bag / YSL Nude Sandal

I love this gauzy dress from the Nordstrom Resort post. This pastel stripe gauze maxi dress is a perfect dress for a beach trip.  It can easily take you from the beach to dinner and will pack like a dream. You’ll love it for Spring and Summer at home, too!

WRINKLE FREE DRESSES

Pink Chiffon Misa Dress / Wicker Clutch / Cork Wedges

I am a big fan of Misa Los Angeles dresses. They have been ago to brand for several years. Their dresses are feminine, flattering and can take you anywhere. They are a vacation favorite because they are so easy to pack. The fabric is lightweight and virtually a wrinkle proof.  I’ve linked new favorites below.

Navy Ramy Brook Dress / Naghedi Small Tote / YSL Sandals

Ramy Brook dresses are another great dress for travel.  They are light weight and pack like a dream!

STATEMENT MAKING MAXI AND MIDI DRESSES

Similar Ikat Maxi Dresses / Similar Straw Bag

A statement making maxi dress is always a great beach vacation dress!  One of my favorites is this ikat design from Fort Worth designer Sheridan French.  I wore this to the JW Marriott in Cabo a few Spring Breaks ago.  That reminds me that I need to share my review of this great hotel soon!  This color is sold out but I’ve linked similar styles in the boutique below.

WHITE DRESSES

White Dress / Wicker Clutch / Cork Wedges

White Midi Dress / Similar Raffia Sandals / Similar Basket Bag

Similar White Eyelet Dress / Gold Espadrilles / Similar Basket Bag

From long to short, solid to eyelet, a white dress is a must on a beach vacation!

You’ll find many more great dresses for beach vacations in the boutique below.
