10 Blue/Black Dresses Trendier Than "The Dress"

No one ever claimed that "the dress" was particularly on trend, and that's probably because it never was... Here are 10 blue/black dresses to try this Spring 2015.

Let's leave "the dress" on the clearance rack where it belongs.

NOTE: Dresses featured in this list range from designer to discount store finds. Some are out-of-season, some are unforgivably overpriced, and some are sold in stores that also sell cat litter. Regardless, all are significantly less hideous than "the dress" that has captured the nation's attention.
