These best-selling dresses, shorts, and more will have everyone wondering if you packed a travel steamer.

When I arrive at a new destination, I love to unpack immediately. It’s one of the secrets to feeling settled as quickly as possible (jet lag notwithstanding). What I dislike with a passion is pulling out clothes that are covered in wrinkles. Before I discovered the magic of wrinkle-resistant clothing, I used to bring mostly linen outfits on my tropical trips. You can only imagine the nightmare that unfolded when I unzipped my bags.

Wrinkle-resistant clothing, on the other hand, is brilliant for travel. Not only are these pieces treated to survive the suitcase unscathed, but they even come out of their packaging without wrinkles. And many are designed to be machine-washed, but still air-dry straight out of the washer without a crease in sight. There are plenty of wrinkle-resistant pants, tops, dresses, shorts and more out there, so it’s conceivable to design your entire travel wardrobe around this kind of convenience. Plus, many items made to be wrinkle-proof are also engineered with other travel-friendly features: they might wick sweat, repel water, dry quickly, or even protect you from UV rays.

I found 14 fantastic items of wrinkle-free travel clothes for women and men that you can buy for under $45 each at Amazon right now, including a classic button-down, flowy wedding guest dress, and a pair of $25 Wranglers cargo shorts that will make you look like you packed a travel steamer in your luggage. But the secret is these pieces only make you look high-maintenance — and starting at $11, each one is a steal.

Grace Karin Women’s Tie-Waist Casual Shorts With Pockets

We dare you not to fall head over heels for these adorable shorts with their bowknot front tie and their amazing ability to withstand wrinkling even when shoved into your carry-on. They’re made of half viscose, which we love for breathability, and have some polyamide, too, which helps these Grace Karin shorts wick sweat, so they’re great for when you know you’ll be out all day. That fully elastic waist helps them fit and flatter most figures, so this one’s really a throw-it-on-and-go piece — and we really dig this trendy, neutral rust color. “I took them to sweltering Vietnam and was so glad! They are super lightweight to pack and do not wrinkle! They were cool and looked great for photos,” wrote a happy traveler.

Merokeety T-Shirt Dress

You can never have too many wrinkle-resistant T-shirt dresses on hand for summer travel, and this Amazon stunner is a vacation go-to for another fellow T+L travel writer.
