Very few trends have made a comeback quite like the fanny pack. For decades, the belted accessory was written off as a fashion faux pas, only to redeem itself in recent years as a must-have in every well-dressed woman's closet. Today, the fanny pack has evolved from a sporty knapsack to a bonafide trendy staple. Thanks to a handful of cool, designer waist bags currently on the market, it's evident that they aren't going anywhere anytime soon either.
Whatever your personal style may be, there's an option for everyone that elevates the fanny from its tourist on vacation roots. If you favor a sportier shape, Prada's elevated take on the classic nylon version is a solid bet. If you are a minimalist, lean towards Jil Sander's slouchy canvas belt bag whereas if you're fully into logomania, Gucci and Dior's heritage prints make for some truly luxe takes on the trend.
They may seem casual in nature but fanny packs needn't be reserved for daytime only. YSL's round quilted fanny is the perfect example of a chain belt bag option that works for an updated evening look that doesn't take itself so seriously. Ahead, find 15 cool, designer fanny packs that work for just about every situation and ensemble.
A modern interpretation of the fanny pack, Jacquemus' La Ceinture belt features a small, wallet-like zip pouch that fits both credit cards and cash comfortably. Weave it into your belt loops on a pair of jeans or a trouser pant for a cool, downtown look that's beyond practical. While the classic black option is sleek, the bubble gum pink is a great option if you're feeling more whimsical.
