Obama appeared on the Today show wearing the Rachel Comey Sunder Stripe Viscose Dress ($675) with matching white pumps that looked crisp and put-together.

"And the world, by all accounts, gets better." How can you possibly argue with that? Scroll down to see Obama's outfit and shop the look for yourself.
