I recently reported that Margaret Qualley was in Rome, which admittedly isn’t groundbreaking in the least. But she was wearing the ideal outfit to pack for an Italian vacation: a pretty maxi dress and flat shoes. I stand by that reporting, as it’s a classic, simple vacation outfit, but after seeing what Diane Kruger was just photographed wearing in Rome, I’m also here to endorse a completely different kind of vacation outfit.
Sure, a simple black maxi dress is lovely, but Kruger’s outfit is elegant in a different, more fashion-person way. It consisted of black flared skinny pants, black heeled sandals. The outfit is a smart choice for a European vacation suitcase because it takes up as little room as a maxi dress, it works for a variety of daytime and evening activities, and you can mix and match the two pieces with plenty of other items in your suitcase. Oh, and she looks ridiculously elegant.
