As I've said before a lot of 80's dress was "preppy" and is still worn all the time today - you might have heard of a little store called Brooks Brothers. I still occasionally wear some of my old polo shirts because a polo is a polo - they're still made the same way. MTV videos do not equal what normal people wore.

There were some hideous prom and bridesmaid dresses - however, I think those were preferable to some of the skintight things with bare midriffs you see today. The style before that was Little House on the Prairie. Blame the puffy sleeves, bouffant skirts etc on Princess Diana - her wedding was what really changed things.
