We’ve spent a lot of time researching (and wearing!) affordable dresses available on Amazon. And while trends come and go, there’s one feature our editors never fail to get excited about: pockets.

Shop Summer Dresses on Amazon

Whether you’re heading on a road trip or jet-setting across the globe this summer, having a go-to travel dress is the key to staying comfortable on long car or plane rides, or while touring a new town. Equally essential are the pockets that can hold your keys, lip balm, or wallet when you’re out and about. That’s why we selected our favorite Amazon dresses equipped with pockets for travel days and everyday styling in mind. Our editors have even tried out a few of them (as you’ll see in the photos), and shared their thoughts.

Sizes: XS-XXL | Colors: 4 | Materials: 100% cotton

Why we like it: Shopping Editor Lauren Gruber considers this dress a go-to, saying, “It strikes the perfect balance between comfy and flattering. The cotton fabric keeps me feeling cool in a heatwave, and the wide ruched waist highlights my figure without feeling restrictive. Every time I wear it out, people can't believe I got it on Amazon!”

What you should know: This dress is from a mommy & me collection, with matching girls’ dresses in sizes 0-3 months to 4T.

Sizes: S-XXL | Colors: 22 | Materials: 35% rayon, 60% polyester, 5% elastane

Why we like it: This popular travel dress has ruffled sleeves and a flattering V-neck, details that make it the one you can throw on without a second thought. It’s lightweight, and the loose fit helps keep you cool in hot temperatures which is great when you’re on the go.

What you should know: Editorial Commerce Director Brie Schwartz recommends picking the next size down, as it tends to run large. You can machine-wash it in cold water, but skip ironing it.

Sizes: XS-XL | Colors: 21 | Materials: 96% polyester, 4% elastane

Why we like it: Schwartz is impressed by this tiered maxi dress from Amazon, as well. The smocked top is stretchy and comfortable, while the wide straps allow you to wear your usual bra without having to worry about the straps.

What you should know: This blue-and-white colorway is out of stock in a few sizes at the time of publishing, but several other colors have full size availability.

Sizes: XS-6X | Colors: 7 | Materials: 95% polyester, 5% elastane

Why we like it: Shopping Editor Angel Madison owns this dress, saying, “I was fully unprepared for how many compliments I got on this dress when I wore it to the office.” She found the wrap style accommodating, and she appreciated that the fabric stayed in place as she moved.

What you should know: While made from mostly polyester, Madison said it was still comfortable to wear even on a hotter day.

Sizes: S-3XL | Colors: 50+ | Materials: 95% polyester, 5% spandex

Why we like it: A maxi dress that looks stylish and effortless without being too tight or uncomfortable can be hard to come by. The spaghetti straps on this pick are adjustable, and we love that it comes in more than 50 colors.

What you should know: The manufacturer recommends hand washing the dress to avoid shrinking.

Sizes: XS–XL | Colors: 6 | Material: 94% polyester, 6% elastane

Why we like it: If you’re traveling soon, Schwartz recommends this polka-dot sundress. “For the price, I was expecting a much flimsier fabric, but this had stretch, body, and pockets,” she said. “Plus, despite shoving it in my work bag, it didn't wrinkle, making it a good travel contender for my next trip.”

What you should know: The manufacturer suggests washing this dress in a mesh garment bag.

Sizes: S-XL | Colors: 25 | Materials: 65% rayon, 35% polyester

Why we like it: T-shirt dresses are fun to wear with your favorite sneakers or your go-to sandals. We like the added belt on this one that ties in the front or the back, customizing the shape of the dress.

What you should know: The rayon/polyester-blend fabric may not feel as breathable as the cotton picks on this list.

Sizes: S-XXL | Colors: 17 | Materials: 98% polyester, 2% viscose

Why we like it: If it’s a cottagecore/Bridgerton vibe you seek, Schwartz found this Amazon dress to fit the bill. The smocked top has a wide, square neck. Add poofy sleeves and a delicate floral pattern that looks like antique wallpaper, and you’re all set.

What you should know: The skirt on the dress is lined to avoid looking see-through. The brand recommends using a garment bag when washing on the gentle cycle, and then letting it air dry.

Sizes: XS-XXL | Colors: 8 | Materials: 100% cotton

Why we like it: Stripes are one of the most classic patterns of the summer, and this A-line Amazon dress not only nails the trend, but it’s got hidden pockets too. The back has stretchy elastic for a more comfortable fit, and there’s a small cutout in the back for breathability. Plus, with adjustable spaghetti straps, you’ll be able to find a more custom fit.

What you should know: Because the dress is 100% cotton, you can machine-wash it with cold water, but hang it to dry to avoid any shrinking.

Sizes: S–XL | Colors: 12 | Material: 95% viscose, 5% elastane

Why we like it: This simple pull-on dress is a no-brainer for your next vacation. It has a smocked top, which conforms to your shape but doesn’t feel tight because it’s so stretchy. The cap sleeves are slightly ruffled but not over the top, and the dress hits just above the knee for a universally flattering silhouette.

What you should know: Based on reviews, you may want to size down if you don’t have a big chest.

Sizes: XS-XXL | Colors: 20 | Materials: 100% cotton, 100% polyester lining

Why we like it: You can’t go wrong with a simple white dress in the summer heat, but many Amazon options end up being see-through. This one, however, is fully lined for better coverage and hits slightly above the knee. Its V-neck top and cinched waist give this dress a vibe that’s effortlessly East Coast summer.

What you should know: The brand recommends hand washing in cold water (or using a garment bag on the gentle cycle), and hanging it up to dry.
