Who knew that your mom’s so-bad-it’s-good prom dress would be the ultimate inspo for the last party season of the decade?

Thanks to brands like Attico, Rotate Birger Christensen and Alessandra Rich — and countless dupes on the high street — you don’t have to go rooting in the basement for her castoffs either.

From shiny, taffeta numbers with oversized bows to ruched satin frocks and minis with ludicrously large puff sleeves, the supposed “decade that taste forgot” was evidently all that fashion designers could think about for this year’s Fall/Winter collections.

Even though we’re throwing it all the way back to the 1980s, what’s really important is yet to come: New Year’s Eve. 

With it being the last night out of the decade and all, it’s a serious chance to make a style statement while the ball drops in Times Square and you have your first smooch of 2020 (… no pressure!).
