From Southern belle-inspired hoop skirts to sleek satin numbers that wouldnt have looked out of place in Back to the Future , 80s prom dresses came in all kinds of bold, ruffled, pastel, and sparkly forms
This knitted tank dress (available in XS-L) from Rachel Gilbert is comfortable and uncomplicated, featuring wide shoulder straps and a shape that hugs the body just so
In addition to featuring dainty details like a tiered skirt and bow-tie straps, this airy sundress has functional pockets that are deep enough to hold a lip balm or phone
Paired with heels and a sparkly clutch, all heads will turn in any room you step into
Priced at 149.99, available at H&M H&M Long Satin Dress In my mind, this is the dress that Rachel from Friends would get married in and it's giving me major Calvin Klein vibes
If it's going to be chilly or if you're going near the shore, where it's breezy you'll want to plan for an optional top layer, like a shrug or trench coat
