I travel almost full-time for my job, and I’m constantly looking for clothes to add to my packing rotation.
“Inflate the vest by pulling down on the red tabs.”
I opt for clothing in solid, neutral colors that can layer well depending on the weather. I also want my travel wardrobe to be easy to clean — no dry clean only or hang to dry pieces, please. I recently stumbled on a dress at Walmart that meets all my requirements, and yes — I went back and bought it in every color!
The Time and True Sleeveless Mix Tank Dress, priced at $17.98, has become the NEW MVP of my travel wardrobe!

I’ve worn this dress through:
- Oppressive heat at Disney World
- A 5-hour airport delay
- Several domestic flights
It’s as comfy as a tank and joggers but looks so much more put together. I haven’t had any problem with it wrinkling, and it has washed up great.
Why it’s my go-to:
- Machine washable and dryer safe (on low!) — and it comes out looking brand new every time.
- Lightweight, breathable, and wrinkle-resistant — it packs like a dream.
- Easy to dress up or down — throw on a blazer, cardigan, or pashmina for the plane.
- Pairs with sneakers, sandals, or slides — whether you need a good walking shoe or something dressy, this works.
- It has pockets. Say less.
- Available in solid, neutral colors — perfect for mixing and matching, or adding a pop of color with accessories.
And I’m no fashion maven so you may disagree, but I think this dress looks way more expensive than it is. It honestly reminds me of some of my favorite travel pieces from Eileen Fisher and J.Crew — but without the triple-digit price tag.
I recently wore the black version of this dress to the new adults-only lounge in EPCOT, GEO-82.
The straps here are wide, so it’s easy to wear a “normal” bra with it, and the skirt is lined. I’m wearing it in an XL — and I would say the fit is pretty true to size. If you’re between sizes, though, I would go down, because the fit is forgiving.
It’s the kind of dress you’ll reach for again and again — whether you’re heading out the door at home or hopping a plane. So yes… I bought it in every color. And I’m not even sorry.
I would love to hear from you about your travel wardrobe staples — especially if they are a bargain! Drop me a line in the comments below!
