Circle skirts and prom style dresses got their first real outings in the 1950s, but the style has never gone away. Allowing reinterpretation throughout many fashion decades, the 1980s made the prom style its own. That 80s look is coming back once more to our high street and designer brands.

This Alice + Olivia dress features a cutesy circle skirt, complimented by some punky detailing to give it an 80s feeling. The more revealing cut of the top ensures this is certainly no fifties look, while the high waistline and exaggerated fullness in the skirt retain a kitschy retro appeal.

It's available online the UK from Net-a-Porter for £390.

The combination of Americana and folk styles suits this skirt to both those looks, with a below knee length managing to avoid frumpiness thanks to a well tailored cut.
