While the fashion world loves to look to the future, the Spring 2019 runway shows indicate that this year's biggest trends are taking a cue from the past. Top designers like Fendi, Louis Vuitton, and Givenchy are making the fashion trends of yesteryear, like bike shorts, puffy sleeves, and cargo pants, popular again.

It's not just the runways that are favouring old-school styles either. Bloggers, editors, and influencers alike have all embraced retro-inspired trends and found cool new ways to give them a fresh modern spin. From bold shoulders to retro headscarves and cool tie-dye fashions, click through to see all the trends making a comeback in 2019.
