2015 Trends

While we are so sad that today is the final day of Coachella, we have been so amazed by all of the stunning fashion statements that have been worn at the music festival over the past two weeks. From crop tops, to lace, to hippie chic, to western inspired, to beads galore, we're in love with the new festival-inspired fashion trend.

Best yet, this new festival look is definitely not something that can only be worn at festivals and as casual weekend outfits. This style is transcending all types of looks and events... even formal events! Dress designer Sherri Hill, in particular, has brought the festival fashion trend to their Prom 2015 looks. Check them out below to get a Coachella inspired look for Prom!

Crop tops have become so popular lately, whether at a music festival, a casual weekend day, a night out with friends, or even prom. For a crop top look that is Coachella reminiscent, we're all about Sherri Hill 11068. The beaded high neck sleeveless top reminds us of some of the stunning beaded tops that were worn at Coachella this year.

Fashion at Music festivals, whether Coachella, Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, or many others, is all about rocking that perfect hippie chic look. When it comes to a more formal/semi-formal dress, Sherri Hill 32260 couldn't emit that hippie chic vibe any more perfectly! The allover delicate white lace covers bell sleeves, deep v-neck, and a keyhole cutout back on this short, elegant bohemian inspired cocktail dress. Beaded crystal and a gold empire waist adds just the right amount of sparkle. We love this dress for a fun and flirty after-prom look! Plus, this look is formal, yet casual enough to wear time and time again.

The next two looks are the perfect way to combine the best of both worlds when it comes to Coachella fashion trends: crop tops and lace! The first is Sherri Hill 32230. This dress is hippie chic at its best when it comes to a a longer, more formal gown. This two piece lace dress features an off the shoulder top and a long layered skirt.

The second is Sherri Hill 32255, a bohemian chic two piece lace dress that features a halter top with a beaded neckline and a stunning skirt with a matching bead detail. While this dress is no longer available, there are plenty of other bohemian looks to choose from. Bohemian two piece looks are great because of their versatility: the crop tops could easily be worn with jeans or shorts all throughout spring and summer!

If you haven't picked out your prom dress yet and have been obsessing over all of the Coachella fashion this year, we hope you love these Coachella inspired looks! Coachella or no Coachella, it's always fun to rock a music festival inspired look, no matter what event you're attending.

It's officially Prom Season again! All of the new Prom dresses are here, and this year's styles are just stunning. From sparkles to lace to two piece to ball gowns, there are so many gorgeous new looks to choose from that it almost makes it impossible to pick just one. While it can be hard to narrow it down to just one dress, there are certain things you can keep in mind and look out for to help narrow down your choices. One of those important 'check list' items is what's on-trend during a given season, which is what will be focused on here. There are five trends in particular that are set to be very popular for Prom 2015. If you want to ensure you're dressed just like celebrities and red carpet fashion this prom season, start your prom dress search by choosing from one of the below five trends!

1. High Necklines

Necklines can be overlooked at times, but they are are big contributor to framing your figure when it comes to choosing just about any outfit (from a prom dress to a work outfit to your causal every day clothes). When choosing a neckline, factor in your bust size, neck length, height, and even the shape of your face.

High necklines have become popular lately because of their glamorous look and flattering attributes. For one, they make accessorizing easier since many have glitzy beading around the neck that mimics a necklace! In particular, look out for the high neckline halter tops that are gracing this year's prom dresses; they are considered a universally flattering neckline.

Mori Lee 97052 is an example of a high neckline halter top dress that would flatter just about any figure. It's a beautifully beaded high neck evening gown with a sexy open back and flowy chiffon skirt.

2. Sheer Dresses

Sheer dresses, also known as illusion dresses, were one of the hottest trends of 2014, and will continue to be at the top of the trends list for 2015. Sheer is all about showing off some skin in style and class, and this year's Spring 2015 dresses definitely achieve that.

What's particularly great about the sheer trend is that you can rock the look as much or as little as you find comfortable. There are dresses that incorporate sheer from head to toe, and then there are dresses that only have sheer in certain areas, like on the bodice.

Dress designer Jovani is all about sheer dresses this year; their Spring 2015 collection is full of a variety of sheer dresses. As an example, Jovani 1255 is a sheer dress that's great for just a little bit of sheer in a traditional ball gown prom dress look. This strapless ball gown features Continue reading →
