Jeannine wears the Addison maxi dress from Revolve.
If you're lucky enough to have a sun-soaked getaway coming up, allow me to live vicariously through you. One of my most enjoyable past-times is planning a hypothetical holiday wardrobe, and it just so happens to overlap nicely with my job. So, when asked to round up the best holiday dresses 2023 has to offer, I pretty much had a list ready to go.
Whether you're headed on a whirlwind city break or to luxuriate in a coastal resort, one thing is for sure: your packing list should definitely include a dress or two. Especially if you have limited room in your suitcase—one dress basically equals one outfit, after all. Throw on a floor-grazing maxi or a shirred midi, and all you need is a few accessories to complete the look.
I took my time scrolling through my most-trusted websites to find the finest holiday dresses out there now. From dreamy floral designs to simple mini silhouettes, there's one for every variety of vacation. The best bit? They start at just £20. Check out the full list below and scoop up your favourites in time for your well-deserved sojourn.
