You may be a grown up now (or sort of), but that doesn't mean you have to leave every aspect of your younger years behind. In fact, many of the staple styles and fashion trends that dominated in the '90s are back in one form or another. So go ahead, reclaim your youth. Click through the slideshow ahead to see how.

Dad Sneakers: Before every fashion brand started offering their own stylish sneaker options, we only had the core brands like Reebok, Nike, and Fila to turn to. And this chunky shape was the go-to — fanny pack not included. (Photo via Reebok)
Stella McCartney Eclypse Neoprene-Trimmed Faux Leather and Suede Sneakers ($640): Newly crowned "the Dad sneaker," the bulky, orthopedic-looking shoe is back for another round — in designer versions, no less. If you need confirmation, see celebs like Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, who've both been spotted rocking this trend.
JNCO Jeans: You could hardly turn around in the mid- to late-'90s without seeing someone wearing these ginormous pants. A favorite of the raver/skater set, these denim doozies were hard to miss. (Photo via JNCO)
I.Am.Gia Ace Pant ($101): Flash forward to 2018 and the dark denim wide-legs are making a return appearance, albeit slightly modified. This slimmer style has been spotted on Bella Hadid and Rihanna, so you know it's officially a thing.
Track Suits: Sported by everyone from Mel C. of the Spice Girls to Will Smith (and his backup dancers) in the "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" video, the track suit was everywhere. Whether you actually ran track wasn't important — this athletic set was a '90s necessity. (Photo via Ron Davis/Getty)
Juicy Couture Black Label Colorblock Terry Zip Up ($70) and Colorblock Terry Pant ($60): Since celeb stylist Jamie Mizrahi took charge at Juicy Couture, track suits are officially fashion again. We're feeling this pink version and its updated tapered leg.
Skinny Sunglasses: Smaller, narrower sunnies reigned supreme in the '90s and were a fave of everyone from Aaliyah to Julia Roberts. Now, the It-girl set is cosigning the silhouette once again. (Photo via Ron Galella, Ltd./WireImage)
Topshop Polly Visor Sunglasses ($38): The shape of these may be retro but the vibe is totally modern supermodel. Are we Hadids yet?
Butterfly Print: Fluttery flying insects became fashion in the mid-'90s, thanks to a boost from Versace. This print graced Vogue's April 1995 cover, solidifying its status as grunge-era must-have. (Photo via Guy Marineau/Condé Nast via Getty)
& Other Stories Printed Silk Blend Dress ($175): Revive the old-school print in an office-worthy way with a silky shirt dress. Doc Martens not required.
Baby Backpacks: In the era of Clueless, miniature versions of school bags in fashion fabrics all but replaced traditional handbags. At least they did in the eyes of any Cher Horowitz wannabe worth her salt. (Photo via Paramount Pictures)
Mansur Gavriel Mini Textured-Leather Backpack ($685): Does the backpack revival have you totally buggin'? Get a little of that old feeling with a slick red leather version from the minimalist masters at Mansur Gavriel.
Square Necklines: Sweetheart? What's that? Whether it was a higher apron style or lower and straight-across at the bustline (à la '90s queen Kate Moss), the neckline of the era was for sure squared off. (Photo via Ron Galella/WireImage)
Zara Basic Ponte di Roma Dress ($20): In Spring 2018 MVP yellow, you can channel your inner '90s chick in an updated way. Mad props to Zara.
