Dresses with built in shorts, hidden pockets, that are easy to pack and wrinkle resistant are perfect for your summer vacations

Travel dresses and dresses with built in shorts aka the skort dress with pockets and skort romper dress aren’t just for sports. There are some super cute styles this year in the prettiest trending colors like pink, blue, yellow and green that are both stylish, functional and make the perfect travel dresses. I’ve been into skorts this year so as soon as I saw these I stocked up as they’re so good for comfort, windy days and more practical than mini skirts. If you’re looking for airplane and traveling outfits, I have a separate blog post for those.

What really sold me on these travel dresses was the hidden pocket that’s big enough for my phone. I love mini bags but they don’t normally fit your phone.

Dresses with built in shorts and hidden pockets solves that issue without having bulky pockets on the outside. Plus it’s easier to reach than getting it out of your bag all of the time and harder for pick pockets to get hold of.

The best travel dresses with built in shorts aka skort dresses

The most comfortable, practical and best travel dresses are:

Ones that don’t crease as much as materials like linen.
Are comfortable in case you’re also flying in them.
Have built in shorts for hopping on and off public transport, getting in and out of cars, and lots of walking around exploring.
Have a pocket(s) that’s big enough for your phone is an added bonus which is why there’s a lot of travel dresses with pockets in this curated list.
Adjustable straps for the perfect fit.
Stretchy material since vacations are for eating and drinking after all.
Built in bras.
Moisture wicking material like the Victoria’s Secrets dress for walking around during the Summer.
