The 14 Best Wrinkle-resistant Dresses for Women of 2024

Best Overall

Wayre Roma Reversible Wrap Dress

View On Shopwayre.com

Is there anything this dress can’t do? It’s made from spill- and stink-proof fabric that’s soft and silky to the touch, and designed to swish as you move. The fabric is lightweight, cooling, and boasts built-in sun protection of UPF 30 — plus, it’s made from post-consumer recycled plastic. It never wrinkles, making it a dream to wear on travel days — or toss it in your suitcase and rest assured that it’ll look freshly pressed when you get to your destination.

We’re obsessed with the reversible design, which means you’re getting two dresses for the price of one: wear it one way to show off your assets with a plunging neckline, or flip it for more coverage. The waist tie is adjustable and ultra-flattering — and best of all, it features a hidden stash pocket for your phone and passport, so you can leave your purse at home and travel hands-free. The dress features two more zippered side pockets (no need to worry about pickpocketing!), so there’s plenty of room for all your essentials. Dress it up with strappy sandals and your favorite accessories, or keep things casual with sneakers and a denim jacket. The hardest part is picking which of the seven vibrant hues to spring for — we want them all!

Best Budget

Misfay Women’s Summer Spaghetti Strap Dress

View On Amazon $20

This breathable mini dress is lightweight and a breeze to pack, as it folds up into nothing and the wrinkles shake out easily. Throw it on over a bathing suit as you head to the beach — the rayon blend is quick-drying, so it makes for an excellent cover-up. But the simple, streamlined design is versatile enough to dress up for a day of wandering the hilly streets of Lisbon, or sipping rosé in a romantic sidewalk café in Paris.

While we wish the straps were adjustable for a more custom fit, the breezy pull-on design ensures this is flattering and comfortable. Plus, there are handy stash pockets to keep all your essentials within easy reach. You’ll want to stock up in several colors — there are over 40 to choose from — as it’s a warm-weather staple at a wallet-friendly price.

The Details: XS to 3XL | Rayon, spandex

Best Designer

M.M.Lafleur Ciela Dress

View On Mmlafleur.com $335

Equal parts polished and versatile, this thoughtfully-designed dress from M.M.Lafleur will take you straight from the office to date night. It’s crafted from a soft and supple Japanese crepe fabric, which boasts ample stretch and recovers its shape easily. Better yet, it’s water-resistant, so it will dry in no time if you get caught in the rain or accidentally spill something. And like all our favorite travel pieces, it’s machine washable, so there’s no need to track down a dry cleaner on your next trip.

The pleat detailing fans out from the side, creating a flattering cinched-waist effect that tapers into a tailored pencil skirt. You can choose from four lovely shades, including grape, maroon, dark aloe, and black-and-white houndstooth.

The Details: 00 to 20 | Polyester, cotton, elastane

Best With Pockets

Wayre Seville Dress

View On Shopwayre.com

We’re smitten with the Seville Dress, an ultra-breathable spaghetti-strap number that’s a dream for sight-seeing, working from home, picnicking in the park, grabbing happy hour with friends – you name it. It boasts three pockets, two of which are zippered for added security and are actually deep enough to fit your phone, wallet, and keys without looking bulky. The third is a discreet breast pocket, where you can tuck a hotel key or credit card.

You’ll want to wear this dress again and again — and luckily you can, thanks to the odor- and spill-proof fabric, which smooths out easily to keep you looking polished on the go. It also features UPF 30 sun protection, and can easily be dressed up or down for any occasion.

The Details: 2XS to 3XL | Post-consumer plastic bottles, recycled spandex

Best Wrap

Grecerelle Women’s Sleeveless Midi Wrap Dress

View On Amazon $15

Stretchy and figure-hugging, this best-selling sleeveless dress is another must-have for warm weather. It’s lightweight and breathable, and allows for plenty of airflow as you move — perfect for a seaside dinner in Mykonos, or a day of shopping in Rome. The wrap-around detailing creates a pleated look around the midsection that’s ultra-flattering, as it enhances your curves without feeling constricting.

The lighter shades (there are seven to choose from) can sometimes be a bit sheer, in which case they can double as a sultry cover-up. At such an approachable price point, you’ll want to grab a few colors to mix and match with your favorite sunglasses, floppy sun hats, and other summer accessories.

The Details: S to 2XL | Rayon, spandex

Best Size-inclusive

Skims Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress

View On Nordstrom $80 View On Skims.com View On Saks Fifth Avenue $80

Like all our favorite pieces from Skims, this dress is equal parts cozy and sexy. Wear it to lounge around the house or slip into this sultry number for a night on the town. It’s buttery soft and mega-flattering, thanks to the brand’s viral Soft Lounge fabric, a stretchy modal and spandex blend that’s breathable and oh-so-soft.

We love that the spaghetti straps are adjustable, so you can feel confident in this dress no matter your height. It’s also available in an inclusive size range and a bevy of fun colors and patterns, like a limited edition cherry blossom print.

The Details: 2XS to 4X | Modal, spandex

Best Athleisure

Alo Airbrush Real Dress

View On Nordstrom $118 View On Aloyoga.com $118

Whether you’re hitting the tennis court, hiking the Hollywood hills, or meeting a friend for coffee, this dress is ready to move with you. It’s sleek and stylish enough to pair with sandals and a jacket for a night out, while the performance material makes it perfect for a wide variety of workouts.

Alo Yoga’s proprietary Airbrush fabric is soft and compressive, keeping everything in place while sculpting a flattering silhouette. Built-in shorts (with slip pockets for tennis balls, keys, or any other small essentials) and a shelf bra offer excellent coverage in this short and flirty exercise dress — just note that you’ll need to remove it entirely for bathroom breaks, given the shorts.

The Details: 2XS to L | Nylon, elastane

Most Versatile

Quince Tencel Rib Knit Sleeveless Dress

View On Quince.com

Outfit repeating never looked (or felt) so good. You’re going to want to wear this ultra-cozy ribbed knit dress from Quince every day, and with good reason: its minimal, midi-length silhouette is a perfect template for just about any occasion. Dress it up with a leather jacket and heeled boots for date night, or opt for a laid-back look with sneakers and a slouchy sweater.

It’s a dream piece to keep in your carry-on at all times, as it takes up minimal suitcase space, doesn’t wrinkle, and is super versatile to style. We love that it’s made from soft and pill-resistant Tencel lyocell, which is sustainably-sourced and biodegradable. Like all of Quince’s pieces, you can count on a quality item for a fraction of the price.

The Details: XS to XL | Tencel, spandex

Best Maxi

Athleta Presidio Traveler Maxi Dress

View On Gap.com

Whether you’re running errands or running to catch your flight, this loose and breathable maxi dress will get you there in comfort and style. It’s made from recycled polyester that’s sourced from post-consumer plastic bottles, so it’s as good for the planet as it is for your travel wardrobe.

The wrinkle-resistant material is a breeze to pack, as it returns to its shape almost instantly. Travelers will love that it’s enhanced with sun protection of UPF 40+ and side slip pockets, and that it’s quick drying, so there’s no need to worry about sweat or spills getting in your way. Plus, it’s machine washable for quick and easy care, wherever you are.

The Details: 2XS to 3X | Recycled polyester, spandex

Best Long-sleeve

SKIMS Soft Lounge Long Sleeve Dress

View On Nordstrom $90 View On Skims.com

Much like its spaghetti-strapped sibling that also made this list, this ultra-soft and versatile dress from Skims could pass for loungewear or evening wear — and you might find yourself wearing it as both, as you likely won’t want to take it off.

It’s made from the brand’s Soft Lounge fabric, which is, as you might imagine, incredibly soft and lounge-worthy. It’s lightweight and breathable, to keep you feeling fresh and cool while still offering ample coverage for shoulder seasons. While we wish this body-hugging number came in more colors, we’re glad that it’s available in two neutrals (black and gray) that are easy to mix and match.

The Details: 2XS to 4XL | Modal, spandex

Best Sleeveless

Quince Tencel Rib Knit Maxi Slip Dress

View On Onequince.com $50

Quince has crafted a nearly perfect dupe of the viral Skims dress (which also earned a spot on this list), except that this one is more eco-friendly thanks to biodegradable Tencel. It’s equally as soft, stretchy, and breathable, with just the right amount of compression to create an ultra-flattering silhouette. The cami straps are easily adjustable to help you find your perfect fit in this maxi dress, which runs long and may need to be hemmed on those who are more petite.

While it’s comfy enough to lounge in, the body-hugging, curve-enhancing silhouette is sultry enough to dress up for a night out, making this a dress you’ll be living in. At such an affordable price point, you’ll want to stock up on more than one color.

The Details: XS to XL | Tencel, spandex

Best Formal

Reformation Joana Silk Dress

View On Reformation $278

It’s always a good idea to have at least one formal outfit on hand at all times when traveling, just in case you get invited to a fabulous party. This silky strapless number from Reformation is a superlative option, as it’s quite versatile: the lightweight charmeuse fabric is elegant enough for upscale occasions, yet could be made to look more casual when layered with a knit sweater.

The body-skimming silhouette is incredibly flattering, and can even double as a skirt when layered under a pullover. Of the five shades it’s available in, we’re most obsessed with the white and hyperion floral.

The Details: XS to XL | Silk charmeuse

Best Sustainable

Reformation Carol Knit Dress

View On Reformation $128

This retro-inspired dress is giving major ‘60s vibes, and we’re here for it. It’s a mod mini fit, with a square scoop neckline and cap sleeves that feel very put-together. Pair it with tights and Mary Janes or knee-high leather boots for an evening look.

It’s crafted from deadstock, aka over-ordered or extra fabric from factories which would otherwise send the material to the landfill. Reformation reuses and diverts those materials instead, creating pieces that feel as good for you as they do for the planet. We only wish it was available in more colors and a more inclusive size range, as Reformation’s pieces tend to run small.

The Details: XS to XL | Rayon, nylon, spandex
