Whenever I pack for a summer trip, I make sure to include a couple of dresses. I never know when I might need a short frock for a beach day or a long one for a fancy dinner. But because I usually only bring a few options with me, I pay extra close attention to which styles earn space in my suitcase. The vacation dresses I’m currently eyeing all come from one brand: Reiss.
Reiss’ vacation dress offerings are giving quiet luxury, Shiv Roy, Europecore, and Sofia Richie all at once. I’m talking cutouts, collars, waist ties, smocked waists, and bows all in flowy, lightweight fabrics and absolutely stunning colors.
So if you have a vacation penciled into your calendar this spring, summer, or fall, don’t wait until the last minute to put your outfits together. Reiss has the chicest dresses for vacation, and if I could pick any to take with me on a summer trip, it’s the eight styles below.

This cross-back number is exactly what I’d slip into to beat the summer heat since it’s made from a lightweight, easy breezy linen fabric.

As much as I adore a flowy dress, I still love more structured fits. This midi dress flaunts a high-low hem and a full-bodied skirt. Pair it with shades and a floppy hat for the most Instagram-worthy vacation look.

I can’t say no to a more unconventional neckline and this one is certainly unique. The ruching and drape detail will help create the most beautiful movement as you take a sunset stroll or wander through Europe’s scenic cobblestone streets.

A collar, a waist tie, a longer length, and no sleeves feels like such a European design. You could easily dress this piece up with heeled sandals or make it more casual with flat sandals.

There’s something about an olive green dress that just screams spring and summer vacay. I’m especially a fan of the ruched waist and laidback fit of this dress. It’s the type of garment I’d reach for if I was headed to a meal, a shopping day, or a reading sesh in the park.

I’ll always make room in my suitcase for a cute mini dress and this one features a classic white and black colorblock. The star of the show, however, is most definitely the bow at the back.

The lime color and flattering smocked waist on this midi dress have my heart, and this is coming from someone who’s scared of wearing bright colors.

I saved the best (and most expensive) for last because I’ve been eyeing a ton of drop waist dresses lately and think they’re about to dominate summer fashion.
