Fashion meets functionality in the latest must-have accessory of summer 2017: the fanny pack.
Remember how fun the ’90s were? Saturday mornings filled with sugary cereal and cartoons, birthday parties at the roller skating rink, and a time when Donald Trump was just a reality TV star. Ah, those were simpler times.
While some aspects of the ’90s are lost to history, others, like the once-derided fanny pack, are making a strong return. Initially embraced by music festival-goers, this handy accessory gained traction when celebrities like Bella Thorne started donning them, officially bringing them into the limelight.
As someone who appreciates having snacks at my fingertips without the hassle of a swinging purse, I’m totally on board with this revival. And it seems Instagram agrees!
The options are endless, from vintage styles to high-end designer pieces. For those wanting luxury, there’s a chic $200 Fenty x Puma version or a stunning Burberry clutch that attaches to a genuine Italian leather belt, priced just shy of $3,000.
Now marketed under various names like butt bag, bum bag, belt bag, or waist satchel depending on the retailer, the fanny pack was all the rage about 25 years ago. After years of being relegated to “dork” status, it has made a triumphant return, much like mom jeans and crop tops. So, can we also add bright windbreakers back to our wardrobes? #JustSaying
