Think it’s all about the maxi and the mini? Think again! Midi-length dresses are making a comeback, as seen on Miranda Kerr while running errands in Manhattan. If you feel too covered up, look for a midi-dress that gives you some breathing room in other areas with cut-outs or a deep V, like Kerr’s dress by Nom. She styled her sundress with a navy blue leather Miu Miu satchel, nude Chanel t-strap sandals and Stella McCartney oversized sunglasses.
