This Practical ’90s Bag Trend Is Making A Comeback

Fanny pack, belt bag, waist bag, bum bag, hip pack—this summer’s It bag goes by many names. Like other ’90s style staples—platform shoes, scrunchies, bike shorts and tie-dye, for example—the humble fanny pack is making its return, and has been popping up on runways, social media and in stores over the past couple of seasons. From sporty nylon bags to chic leather pockets, this year’s iterations reinvent the style in fresh materials, shape and colours. Wear it slung low around your waist, use it to cinch an oversized dress or wear it crossbody for an effortlessly cool look.

But belt bags are more than just a fashion statement—their hands-free design is perfect to carry your phone, keys, lips balm and hand sanitizer when running socially distant errands. Here, 13 fanny packs that are both cute and practical.
