Michelle Obama’s Italian vacation style starts with a summery top. Over the weekend, the former First Lady stepped out for an alfresco meal with friends in the small town of Montalcino, Italy, while wearing a pinstripe one-shoulder top with off-duty white denim. Yesterday in Tuscany, she spent the afternoon shopping in yet another easy, breezy blouse, only this time, it came in an off-the-shoulder silhouette.

The ruffles and lace-up detail lent visually interesting elements to an otherwise simple staple from Club Monaco. Smartly, she tucked it into high-waisted custom BCBG cargo pants in order to offset the flash of shoulder. Both pieces were worn perfectly rumpled, loosening the traditional appeal of pristine shirting and trousers, and doubling down on the relaxed vacation vibes. She added structure in the form of Simon Miller’s oxblood leather tote plus K. Jacques shower slides, which felt like an ideal choice for sightseeing on foot. The gold Elizabeth and James cuff and Jennifer Fisher hoops and ring coordinated with the trim on her statement sunglasses, which seemed to say, “I’m having the best time ever.” And from the look of it, we’re inclined to agree.
