Few celebrity trips have made me more jealous than Sofia Vergara’s recent trip to Italy. Every morning, photos of Vergara’s sparkling pool, mountain-fringed beaches, and tree-filled villas flood my Instagram feed, making me dream of my own European getaway. And, of course, we can’t forget the fashion. From leopard print one-pieces to bejeweled gowns, the dresses in Vergara’s suitcase are a feast for the eyes. One of her most recent vacation outfits is undoubtedly my favorite from the trip, as it’s surprisingly simple and easy to recreate.

This outfit contains one of the most foolproof travel outfit formulas: a breezy, flowy maxi dress and platform white sneakers. It’s no wonder this combo is a classic: the breezy dress keeps you from getting too hot, and the comfortable sneakers give you the freedom to walk and explore new places. While I don’t have plans to jet off to Italy anytime soon, I do have a few weekend getaways in the works, and Vergara’s effortless vacation look gave me some much-needed fashion inspiration. To recreate the actress’ look, I headed straight to Amazon, where similar styles are plentiful and I found options starting at just $29.
8 Sofia Vergara-inspired dresses and sneakers
Dokotoo Fluffy Frill Maxi Dress
Amazon
The summer heat calls for clothing that’s as non-restrictive as possible, and this chic sleeveless top from Dokotoo couldn’t be more breezy. This sale piece features a flattering scoop neckline, adjustable tie straps and a ruffled A-line hem. Thanks to the lightweight chiffon fabric, one shopper commented that the sheer style “hangs beautifully” and “flows freely.” A second customer reported that the dress is one of the most travel-friendly suitcases, writing that the dress was “wrinkle-free” and remained smooth throughout her week-long vacation.
Anlabeth sleeveless linen maxi dress
Amazon
No summer packing list is complete without a dress that’s just as easy to wear to the pool as it is to dinner, and this ocean blue maxi from Anrabess is just that, marked down to just $33. This relaxed style features adjustable spaghetti straps and an asymmetrical tiered design that’s comfortable and flattering. One Amazon shopper admits that the dress is made from “breathable material” and is “super comfortable to wear,” while another customer brought it on a trip to Italy and “received tons of compliments” on the loose-fitting dress.
Keds Triple Up Sneakers
Amazon
This outfit wouldn’t be complete without shoes, so I’ve got my eye on these platform sneakers from Keds, on sale for just $61. The platform sneakers are made from machine-washable leather and feature a breathable canvas lining, making them perfect for walking on hot days. One customer bought a pair for her niece, a nurse who’s on her feet all day, and said she’s “really happy” with how the sneakers feel. Another customer loved the sneakers’ “classic look,” adding that they feel like they’re “walking on an air platform.”
Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Lace-Up Sneakers
Amazon
For travel-friendly shoes, we’re also keeping our eye on these stylish shoes from podiatrist-approved brand Dr. Scholl’s. When it comes to functional shoes, Dr. Scholl’s is famous for a reason: These shoes in particular have been praised by flight attendants and influencers alike, and have been a hit on TikTok for their comfort.
The lightweight sneakers feature a cushioned insole, suede details, and are made from some recycled materials. They also feature waterproof faux leather, perfect for unpredictable summer weather. One Amazon shopper said she walked “many miles” in the shoes around London and “they were comfortable and had no chafing or issues.” Another customer, who has heel problems and flat feet, brought the shoes on a trip to Paris and didn’t develop any blisters, despite all the walking.
While the Passport will remain in place for the next few months, I plan to continue wearing this flowy dress and chunky sneaker combo all summer long. For more styles that recreate the effortless outfit formula, shop Amazon for even more options starting at $39.
