One of my favorite brands for summer is VELVET by Graham and Spencer. The line revolves around t-shirt fabrics. We think the chic styles that are comfortable, wearable and anything but dowdy deserve a spot in your closet. The designers call their lines "trend-setting basics" and I concur! Since it's travel month on Momtrends, we're focusing on brands such as this one that can be packed and allow you to travel light, while also traveling in style.

The knits cling to your curves without being tight and unflattering. Think soft, drapey and sensuous not binding and showing off those buldges that may or may not have appeared after childbirth. In fact, I'm wearing my favorite Velvet black skirt today (it seriously goes with everything in my closet). To get you inspired about this brand check out a few of my favorite picks from summer. Feature Storm Sleeveless Tank ($98).I'd pair that top with white jeans or a denim skirt. It could also go with khaki shorts--very versatile.

Next, I've got a few ideas for dresses to pop in your bag, one a maxi, one a mini:

Niva Maxi Dress ($150)

Green Tamra Tube Dress ($106)
