2015 Fashion Trends for Prom Dresses
2015 Fashion Trends for Prom and Graduation Dresses
Prom season is here, and it’s time to get those dresses! Chances are you’ve already started looking for a prom dress, but if you haven’t let’s take a look at the 2015 fashion trends for prom dresses. Hopefully this might help guide some of your shopping process.
2015 Fashion Trends – Sleek, Sassy, and Surreal
This year, sequins are either out completely, or used for just a splash of sass. Gone are the days of heavily sequinned and beaded sparkle gowns. Instead, the 2015 fashion trends of the prom world are sleek, sassy, and surreal.
Sleek
One of the three main themes of the 2015 fashion trends for prom dresses is the sleek look. This is a pared down look that focuses more on fabric and cut than crazy beading, sequins, or elaborate design. I’m seeing strapless, empire waist gowns everywhere I look, and the classic one shoulder design is also heavily featured.
Sassy
If your daughter has a sassy side, (Like both of mine do) there is no shortage of on-trend prom selections to be found in the 2015 fashion trends I’ve seen. While traditional prom gowns and dresses are full-length, this year, I’m seeing a lot of short dresses and skirts. Mid-thigh seems to be the preferred link, and these dresses are super sassy. They range from strapless to one shoulder to classic necklines and they either feature a classic skirt or rouched varieties.
Surreal
2015 fashion trends for prom dresses are also heavily featuring the surreal, fairy tale look. Don’t misunderstand that, though. These dresses are still very light on the beading and sequins. Instead, these lovely full-length gowns rely heavily on their empire waists, sweetheart necklines, rouched styling, and lots of chiffon and silky fabrics to give a fairy tale feel that looks wonderful. Perhaps some of that inspiration came out of the Cinderella movie hit this year.
2015 Fashion Trends are Wonderfully Beautiful
I really love the 2015 fashion trends I’m seeing in prom dresses. I’ve never been a fan of heavy beading and sequins. I’m also not a fan of dresses for teenagers that are obviously too low cut, or ugh cut, or skimpy. The 2015 fashion trends I’ve seen are the perfect combination of cute and sassy. They are all wonderfully cut and designed without being to risque, and that’s an important feature to me because frankly it’s me that will be buying a dress for my daughter.

Prom dress shopping always sounds so exciting, it wasn’t a big thing over here when I was at school so I never got to experience such a night. x

I’m so glad to hear they have some cute options out there and that it’s not all the “risque” stuff. My daughter has many years to go, but I was already getting worried!

I remember when my daughter was at prom. She wore a short dress, but they weren’t really trendy back then!

We have so many high schools in our area. Proms started over a month ago and are still going strong. I’ve loved seeing all of my friends’ kids photos on Facebook!

I have a ways to go before my daughter will be going to prom, she is only 6 and my other one is 2. My biggest concern would be modesty.

To give time in shopping for this and never rushing – is always a must.

Prom dresses have changed so much over the years! I can’t believe the changes since I’ve been in school.

We had a great time prom dress shopping with my daughter. It was so fun to see her all dressed up in the different styles of dresses. I can not wait for prom so i can take a bunch of pictures.

Loved the way you’ve shared the styles – and the dress you’ve shown is beautiful – my prom dress was made for me and I loved it – much in the style of the one shown, but white with golden thread

I always enjoy seeing the prom pictures on social media from friends with kids that age. Like a virtual fashion show! 🙂

What a beautiful prom dress. I think another good trend is lace or jewels!

I love the sassy idea. Prom should be all about being sassy and feeling like a Queen LOL!

One of our neighbors went to prom this year and it was so sweet seeing her dress. She picked a gorgeous one.
