The Benefits of the Travelers Classic Tank Dress
Although the fabric is thick, it isn’t hot, making it perfect for warm-weather destinations.
After dealing with my checked luggage getting lost on a wedding trip this past fall, I recently started traveling with a carry-on suitcase. I had never opted to try to fit an entire trip’s worth of clothes into one before because I’m a textbook over-packer.
I love having options; however, packing a small suitcase to the max leaves me with one big problem: the inevitable wrinkles that ensue when I unpack my suitcase at my final destination. Consequently, when I heard about Chico’s Travelers Collection, which features wrinkle-free fabrics, I had to give it a go.

Personally, I believe you can never own too many staple wardrobe pieces in black, so naturally, that’s the color I grabbed it in. The sleeveless, scoop-neck style hits just above the ankle and features a small slit, a detail I love since it prevents feeling restricted while walking. It’s available in sizes 0 to 22, both in regular and petite sizes, and in three colors — black, brown, and olive green — and it’s incredibly comfy.
The Travelers Classic Tank Dress is stretchy and opaque — aka, it isn’t see-through in the slightest, making this a solid choice if you prefer wearing biker shorts or shapewear under dresses. Although the fabric feels thick, it doesn’t feel hot, which makes it a great piece to travel with to warm destinations. It feels rather cooling to the touch, which I would attribute to the acetate and spandex blend.
The most impressive thing about this dress has to be the wrinkle-free fabric. Overall, the dress has a nice weight to it, which I’m convinced helps keep it smooth and look like it was freshly steamed. I even accidentally left it on my floor for a few days, and when I finally hung it back up, there was not a single wrinkle in sight. This dress is magic and certainly a traveler’s dream, especially if you want to forgo the hassle of also having to pack a steamer. I will certainly be bringing this on my next trip, whether I check a bag or have to tightly pack a carry-on.
This tank dress is versatile; I can dress it up with heels or sandals, and also see myself wearing it with sneakers and a denim jacket for a leisurely daytime look. I love a piece that I can wear more than once on a trip, and I’m toying with the idea of grabbing it in another color.
If you’re looking for comfortable, wrinkle-free pieces to pack on your next trip, like my go-to tank dress, the Travelers Collection at Chico’s offers a variety of options. Keep scrolling for other wrinkle-free styles to add to your virtual cart, and leave the steamer at home.
