With side or fitted slits, with a full skirt or a belt at the waist, dresses below the knee lend themselves to different tastes and bodies. To face September in style.
Midi dresses for all ages and seasons
Laura Dern he wore one in designer crochet Carolina Herrera at the last Venice Film Festival. Sienna Miller chose one of Self-Portrait with cut-out and front bow for a recent premiere. Eva Longoria paired the Sportmax model with Saint Laurent dizzying heels. It is the looks of celebs that demonstrate the thousand shades of a silhouette that knows no age, height, size or styling limits, varying between daytime proposals, therefore perfect for the office or a lunch in the city, and very elegant models, to wear to a formal dinner or a black-tie ceremony.
And who said that the midi dress can only be worn with a heel of 12: the secret is to choose the right model, which enhances the figure, without sacrificing the comfort (of one’s feet).

From Chloé And Courrèges, for example, the dress is worn over tailored trousers, for a final look of a true fashionista. Finally, on the accessories front, the choice is practically infinite: the midi dress is combined with knee-high boots, to be hidden under the hem, sandals, ballet flats or Texans.
