To add to the simplicity of packing for spring travels, spare yourself the stress of packing separates. Forget your bottoms and tops at home, and instead pack a selection of easy dresses to avoid the headache of putting outfits together prior to (or during) your trip. Pack a dress for every day you’re there and top it with a denim jacket and flats for daytime or a leather jacket and heels for the evenings.

Below, 12 designers that will make all your perfect spring dress dreams come true.
