Belt bags, fanny packs, and bum bags have gotten a bad name over the years, where they have become synonymous with windbreaker-wearing tourists and coupon-cutting moms, getting a general sense of un-coolness attached to their name. At least, that is until now. Fancy backpacks, trendy crossbody bags, and chic fanny packs are totally in.
Seeing how everything from the ‘90s is coming back into style - from velvet scrunchies, to white dad shoes, to baggy mom jeans - it’s no surprise the fanny pack is back on the rise. But if you have a more grown up aesthetic and are looking for a belt bag that makes a real sartorial statement, we have you covered. Not all bags are made equally, and below are the chicest fanny packs on the market. Check them out and see if any of them catch your eye!
