The question of whether fanny packs can be counted as a fashionable item has long been debatable, which is why you see them getting so hyped up one moment and the next, it’s not in anymore. It’s like being friends with an on-and-off couple and you’re not surprised when they get back together. Like, tell us something we don’t already know.
Honestly, we think the main reason why people hate it is because it’s associated with that know-it-all tourist, your dorky dad and yes, the drinks stall uncle. But hey, if anything else, they are the ones who inspired the fashion world to reinterpret this understated bag. So yes, the fanny pack/waist bag/bum bag/belt bag/whatever you call it, is back again, as seen in the Gucci Cruise 2018 show and spotted on Kendall Jenner, who has been obsessed over it recently. We hate to admit it, but we too, are secretly into fanny packs as well. Whether you like yours hanging at the waist or have it slung across the shoulder, these functional bags are definitely a statement piece that will switch up the look of any outfit, including formal wear too!
Scroll below to see some of our picks and if you’re not one to invest in trends, we’re pretty sure the provision shop under your block sells them too (at a fuss-free price at that).
