Eight breathable, effortlessly stylish picks from Cord Studio that go from airport to adventure without missing a beat.

What would you actually be looking for in your travel dress? One can pack easily, breathe well when it's hot outside, endure an airplane ride, and make an elegant exit the minute you arrive at the airport. That is why printed dresses are perfect for all kinds of trips because they require minimal packing, any crease turns into texture, and bright prints cover up even tiny stains.

If you have been wondering what the best printed dresses to wear for summer travels are, this collection by Cord Studio will certainly meet all your expectations. All pieces suggested by us are made of natural materials, including cotton, cotton satin, and linen.

FAQs

Q1. What fabric is best for summer travel dresses?

A: The two most suitable materials for summer vacations are 100% cotton and linen. They both have good breathability and moisture-wicking properties. Cord Studio features linen and cotton materials that can suit any summer destination.

Q2. Do printed dresses crease easily when packed?

A: Cotton and linen will crease slightly, but the print itself hides this well. You won’t even see them when you’re wearing the dress. Smocking at the yoke, as in the Frida and July Dresses, helps provide additional structure to maintain shape when packed in a suitcase.

Q3. Can I wear these dresses for both casual and formal occasions during travel?

A: Absolutely. The loose styles suit sightseeing perfectly during the day, whereas the prints and materials will easily make a shift to dinner in the evening – the cotton satin material in the A-Line Long Dress is a perfect example.

Q4. Which Cord Studio dress is best for hot, humid destinations?

A: In case you live in a place where it is both hot and humid, consider going for the Euro Dress in either Mirage or Woods print, which is made of pure linen and is the most ventilating dress in the range.

Q5. Do any of these dresses have pockets?

A: Yes! With the Spring Print Ravine Dress, you'll get pockets built into each side seam — a useful design feature when traveling, as you won't have to carry your purse around anymore.
