Walking dress recommendations?

Hi fellow travelers, just day dreaming of future caminos and trips to Europe.

Any one have good recommendations for dresses? Ideally knee length (maybe longer), with sleeves.
It'll be cool if it could multitask, walking/exploring cities/sleeping?

Thanks

Hi! Ladyhike has some great dresses, i have done caminos in them and they worked great for me. i have also used the macabi skirts on caminos and loves those too. both were easy to hand wash, dried quickly. these brands/designs were created by women who hike and thru-hike so they understand what works

i pretty much only hike in skirts/dresses now even when doing hikes at home, i find them much more comfortable.
 
I have been walking in a knee-length skirt, with a long skirt for town in the evening or changing at the beach. I also have a pair of pants for cold days, rain, bugs or grass. I would pick a skirt over a dress because the shirts are interchangeable.

Jolly Gear makes great hiking shirts (small business created by a through hiker wanting colorful and functional hiking clothes) and they’ve recently added a dress to their catalog. I haven’t tried it but I love their shirts:

I can recommend this hiking skirt for an overnighter but, for a night out, not so much. Each of its six pockets can hold a copy of Brierley’s Camino guide.

A-Line Hiking Skirt with Pockets

The flared a-line design and lightweight quick dry fabric make LightHeart Gear hiking skirts with pockets ideal for the trail. We do not compromise on pocket space. Check out all 6 pockets.

Lightheart gear has dresses also. And tents.

Title Nine has excellent, lightweight “active dresses”, many with built in bras! I love them and have taken one on each of my Caminos. I wear for evening dinner or walking around, then almost always just sleep in it too. So comfy and Fabulous to just feel fresh and out of my pants and shorts.

'Purple rain ' has hiking skirts, dresses, and kilts( which convert to shorts if needed). I have 2 kilts and really love them

Another vote for Purple Rain Adventure Skirts! I have one of their skirts and one of their dresses. I’m 5’9 and the skirts come to top of my knees. They’re super lightweight and look nice. They have 4 pockets (one over the other on each hip).
