I'm a Plus-size Travel Writer, and These Are the Dresses I'll Be Wearing All Summer Long

Every stylish person's summer travel wardrobe could use a fresh infusion of fun, comfortable dresses. As a plus-size travel writer, I'm always keeping an eye out for dresses that fit my must-have criteria. I need a summer dress to be easy to wear and curve-friendly, as well as wrinkle-resistant (or worth the time to steam), and effortlessly cute. Most importantly, I need to feel good wearing it. That means it needs to have the right fit and feel great against my skin. These plus-size summer dresses check all those boxes. Whether you're looking for one-and-done travel outfits, something to wear for a special event, or a fresh find to spruce up your closet, these picks are the ones I'll be reaching for all season long. $100 $60 at This blue floral midi dress is a recent favorite of mine. It's available in both regular and petite plus sizes (a win if you're shorter like me), and I especially love the soft, stretchy smocked bodice that makes it so easy to wear on long flights or full travel days. The sweetheart neckline and flutter sleeves add to the charm—those sleeves especially make this one feel extra summery. Need it fast? Over at Amazon, you can score a similar style for $42 and have it at your doorstep in two days. Quince's tiered maxi dress in Vermilion Red is simple in the best way and always makes me feel bold when I'm on the go. Made from 100 percent organic cotton, it's breathable and airy, with a gathered waist that offers shape while still keeping things relaxed. The deep pockets are incredibly useful for stashing travel essentials, and the V-neck and short sleeves look great in every photo. Planning active adventures this summer? This high-neck mini dress is a game-changer. Available in sizes up to 3XL, it includes built-in mid-thigh Booty Boost shorts that help prevent chafing (a big deal for me!). I usually wear separate shorts under dresses, so having them built in is a huge plus. It's made from a breathable, sweat-wicking fabric and comes in five fun colors—including tulip pink and deep azure blue—that are perfect for summer. This brightly-hued dress is pure joy to wear. The V-neck and roomy sleeves give it an easy silhouette, and the black rainbow stripe version is just one of many playful prints available. I love that it's wrinkle-resistant; it comes out of my suitcase ready to wear. For a casual travel day, this one's a staple. The Torrid Challis Maxi Dress always helps me feel put-together with zero effort. The bold print and contrasting pattern detail at the hem make it feel more elevated than your average maxi. The V-neck and flutter sleeves are lovely, and the elastic waist helps it stay in place while still feeling breezy. Just a note: there's not much stretch in the fabric, so I recommend sizing up for extra room, or opting for this stretchier option from Amazon that has a similar look to it. When I want to feel comfy while still putting on a fun, playful look, I reach for this colorfully printed stretchy cotton dress. It has a relaxed, lounge-friendly fit that still works great out and about. The smocked bodice and flowy skirt give it polish, and the stretchy cotton fabric comes in clutch while traveling in the summer. $90 $54 at My ultimate 'resort vibes' dress, the beaded knot detail at the halter neck adds texture, and the easy jersey fabric is soft and flowy without clinging. The Black Leaves and Brown Palms prints both scream summer vacation in the best way, but if you're craving brighter colors, this playful alternative is a must. A true mood booster in a dress, this beachy piece is made out of a soft, stretchy fabric. It's one of those all-day-wear pieces that doesn't need a break-in period. It has side pockets, a relaxed fit, and comes in cheery prints like Black Lemon and Yellow Flower. My go-to when temps climb, this linen dress has such a crisp and clean look that I love. It's breathable, versatile, and made from European linen with thoughtful details like shell-style buttons and subtle pleats. I love wearing it as a beach cover-up. Looking for something a little extra? This scallop-trim mini dress has frilly details that make it fun to pair with elevated accessories for a nice dinner, or sneakers and a denim jacket for everyday wear. It's wrinkle-resistant, making it perfect for packing. I love the midi length, but this ankle-grazing option is great if you prefer more coverage. $100 $45 at Easy to throw on and go, I always feel great about myself when I wear this chic and classic style. The soft, smocked waistband adds comfort without squeezing, and I love the V-neck and shirred shoulders. It also has—you guessed it—pockets. It's available in both regular and petite plus, which is a big deal for us shorter folks, and while I love the cute green and pink shades it comes in, people who love their florals will definitely have to check out this Amazon lookalike. Spanx's Oprah-loved AirEssentials line just got a summer upgrade. The AirEssentials Maxi Dress puts the ultra-light, four-way stretch fabric on display (psst: did you know it's actually designed to actually feel cool to the touch?). It's buttery soft and flowy, with side slits that let you move easily. I love the fennel green, but the striped version also has a nautical summer vibe. Don't be surprised if you find it so comfy, you end up wearing it on a flight. A swingy, tiered silhouette meets a cheerful pattern in this short-sleeve dress, making it one of my summer MVPs. The empire waistline is soft and stretchy, and the flutter sleeves complete the playful vibe it gives off. It also resists wrinkles, so it's a reliable throw-on-and-go option. This is my splurge pick—and one I always feel amazing in. The cobalt-on-ivory design is eye-catching, and the relaxed fit, loose sleeves, and wrinkle-resistant linen-viscose blend make this Marie Oliver dress perfect for destination weddings or dressy events during your travels. Shopping on a budget? You can get the same stunning print inspiration from this Ruffle Trim Linen Blend Shift Dress from Caslon, $100, or opt for this summery tank style from London Times that's on sale for 55 percent off and just $53. $90 $54 at Short, sweet, and full of personality, this soft knit dress has flutter sleeves, a surplice neckline, and princess seams for a comfortable feel and tailored look. It pulls on easily and has pockets to keep your passport and phone within reach on travel days. The Blue Bandana and Atlantic Deep prints are both summer-ready showstoppers, but this under-$30 option from Amazon comes in a plethora of solid colorways, all with a ribbed texture for some added visual interest.

This water- and UV-resistant shade is a major upgrade from your standard umbrella. Promising review: 'This pergola is a great fit for our back deck. The fact that it secured to the wood deck was necessary as it can get really windy in our backyard, and so far it has held up really well to rain and wind. We love the option to open and close the canopy, and we were able to add a tension rod to the west side so we can't use outdoor curtains to block the evening sun. We thought we would have to save up lots of money to build a pergola, so we were thrilled to find this affordable, sturdy solution!' —WendyPrice: $326+ (available in four colors) An outdoor bar cart that can help you serve drinks, sun your plants, store gardening tools, or whatever your outdoorsy heart desires.

The folding is what separates them from others. I chose black and really like them around my fire pit . I just ordered 2 more in Forrest green for my parents. I have a total of 6 black ones and just ordered the glider 2 seat version!' —MargitPrice: $209.99+ (originally $248.99, available in 13 colors) A rolling cooler so your favorite drink can be at your fingertips no matter where on your patio you end up posting up. Plus, you can also show off your personal style with a variety of color options. Promising review: 'We're so impressed with this cooler! Not only is it so stylish and adorable, but it's kept ice for FOUR days!! We really had little expectations that it would preserve ice so well and we are stunned. It's not in the direct sunlight, but it's made it through several 75° days. It holds a sleeve of ice and tons of drinks. You won't regret this purchase!' —ShannonPrice: $153+ (originally $199.99, available in seven colors) A set of acrylic bar or drinking glasses for the neighborhood parties that start out with every ounce of class, but maybe get a little out of hand. Use these to avoid spending the next morning cleaning up broken glass (or rebuying drinkware). Promising review: 'These are fantastic! They are insulated so any ice inside doesn't melt too quickly and they don't sweat like most plastic glasses do (they sweat a little but that is to be expected). Best of all, they do not look like plastic glasses at all! They look like crystal!' —RhondaPrice: $30.99 for a set of four An outdoor dog bed to make sure your four-legged family can also soak up the sun. Going on walks, playing fetch, or joining your toddler in the kiddie pool is a hard day's work, after all. You just might hear some jealous barks from your tired neighborhood dogs. Promising review: "Love this bed! Super easy and quick to put together, very solid! The cushion cover has a zipper so you could remove and wash if needed. I love how polished it looks, it blends well with the rest of our patio furniture. Maggie is a 60-pound Labrador and we ordered a size medium (large was out of stock). She already loves it!" —RachelPrice: $131.99+ (originally $229.99+; available in three sizes) A pair of solar-powered floor lights that define patio ~mood~ lighting. These sleek, modern lights will earn some nosy looks from backyard neighbors and maybe a few "Where did you get those?" texts. Promising review: "These solar lights are so beautiful. They add such sophistication to my patio space! I need to buy four more." —DebbyPrice: $97.30+ (originally $121.67; available in four colors) A hammock that is a definite upgrade from our parents' rope loungers. It comes with a bar and is ready to hang for a relaxing afternoon. Promising review: "The best hammock!! Beautiful, comfortable, easy to assemble." —AlejandraPrice: $199 (originally $248.99; available in five patterns) A set of nesting outdoor tables that will make whatever outdoor space you have feel like a tropical oasis.

Solange Wore a Deconstructed Skirt at Telfar's 20th Anniversary Show

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." If Solange's style could be described in two words, it would be elegant and experimental. Much like her music, it's a balance she's mastered again and again, and last night was no different. In honor of Telfar's 20th anniversary, the Grammy-winning artist attended the brand's high-energy runway show during Juneteenth weekend in New York City. A vibrant celebration and display of community, Solange was one of the many recognizable faces in attendance to support founder and designer Telfar Clemens. For the event, the Grammy award-winning singer stepped out in her go-to color palette of dark-toned neutrals. Wearing a summer-appropriate bra-as-top sculptural black bandeau, she made a statement with the cropped fit cut cleanly across her chest. But the real standout of her look was her choice of bottom. She opted for a bold, deconstructed piece that combined a classic pinstriped button-down and a leather skirt into one seamless design. The shirt element was tied around the hips, creating an asymmetric, draped effect that added fluidity to her outfit. On her feet, she kept things sleek with square-toe black thong sandals. The minimal silhouette contrasted with the volume and movement of the skirt. As for her glam, Solange went for her signature understated and minimal makeup. Her barely-there approach featured a glowy and radiant base, lightly feathered brows, and a glossy pink lip. She also kept her hair down and loose in her usual waves.
