As someone who travels constantly, I’m always searching for the perfect outfit—something stylish, comfortable, and practical enough to handle everything from long-haul flights to airport sprints.
I recently put the Marcella NYC dress to the test on a full travel day, and I have to say, it absolutely delivered. Here’s why I’m obsessed—and why you might want to add it to your travel wardrobe too.

Why I Loved This Travel Dress
1. It’s Comfortable in Any Temperature
At first, I thought this dress might be too warm for travel, but I was pleasantly surprised. The zipper at the neck makes it easy to adjust your temperature—zip it up when you're chilly, unzip for a little breathability. The fabric is the perfect thickness to feel cozy without overheating.
2. Perfect for Long Travel Days
I wore this dress all day long—from reclining in my plane seat to navigating busy airports and sitting for hours. It never felt restrictive, and I still looked put together when I arrived at my destination. No wrinkles, no discomfort, just effortless style.
3. Designed with Travelers in Mind
The details in this dress make it a must-have for frequent travelers:
Zipper at the neck – Helps regulate body temperature.
Soft, structured fabric – Keeps its shape and feels luxurious.
Front pouch pocket – Perfect for keeping my passport, boarding pass, and phone within easy reach.
Side slits – Just the right amount of movement and style.

Fit & Sizing
I originally ordered a Medium, but I found it a little more snug in the chest than I expected, so I swapped it for a Large—which fit perfectly. I’ll be working towards that Medium, though! 😉
How I Styled It
I kept it casual with sneakers, and for a chilly early morning flight out of Paris, I layered it with a cropped puffer vest—a perfect combo.
If you’re heading somewhere extra cold, you can easily pair it with tights or leggings for extra warmth.
This dress got loads of compliments, and it’s safe to say it’s now a staple in my travel wardrobe. I loved it so much that I’m definitely getting it in black next!

Other Marcella NYC Pieces I’m Eyeing
After falling in love with this dress, I couldn’t help but browse more of Marcella NYC’s collection. Here are a few other pieces I have my eye on:
✨ Atlantic Top – I love how chic this top feels with the two different fabrics and oversized collar.
✨ Tilly Dress – This neckline and the flow of this dress - I can already see myself wearing this for a dinner in Italy, an excursion in Paris, or even just to brunch with friends.
✨ Julia Dress – This dress feels like the staple black dress that is always good to have in your closet.
I'm so grateful to Marcella NYC for gifting me such a beautiful piece for my travels this month in Europe. Can't wait to try more!
