Fanny packs are, understandably, controversial. The waist-worn bags have their share of historically unstylish associations, but in the fashion climate of 2018, that only makes them all the much more ripe for a comeback, just like tiny sunglasses. even so, wearing one of these bags in public can be a bit daunting; not only are they something many people aren’t used to incorporating into an outfit, but choosing a fanny pack also requires admitting to the world that you’ve succumbed to a rather silly trend. especially if you want to sling one across your chest, which is the trendiest way to go. (And yes, people are actually doing this out in the wild, or at least in my trendy Brooklyn neighborhood. And, admittedly, I am doing it too.)
Thankfully, fanny packs are a pretty broad category, and the trend also includes the much more demure variety: belt bags, which are actual belts with petite little pouches on them. They’re much more tailored and dressy than their roomy alternatives, which makes them better for different kinds of outfits and occasions. On the other hand, if you’re searching for the trendiest possible option, you’ll want to opt for a full-on fanny pack because they’re the exceptional crossbody option.
If all this feels like a little much, or if your interest is piqued but you’re not sure where to start, we’ve got some inspiration for you: celebrities have been on the fanny pack trend like white on rice over the past few months, and in the nearly two dozen images below, you can pick out all the styling tricks and suggestions you need.
Bella Hadid
One useful option for slowly incorporating a bold trend like a fanny pack into your wardrobe is simply not wearing it as intended. In fact, just carry it in your hand, as Bella Hadid is doing with this Prada Tessuto Belt Bag. shop the Prada Nylon Belt Bag through farfetch.com ($870)
Caro Daur
Among thee fashion Week-attending set, this Gucci Marmont Belt Bag (a true belt bag, instead of a fanny pack) reigned supreme.) shop the Gucci Marmont Belt Bag through Gucci ($1,100)

Jamie Chung

Kaia Gerber
Kaia is wearing another incredibly popular celebrity option: the Alexander Wang Attica Fanny Pack, which has long been sold out online. Alexander Wang’s site still lists it as part of the brand’s product assortment, so here’s hoping a restock is coming soon. shop Alexander Wang Bags through Shopbop
Κέιτι Πέρι
If you really want to drive home the traveler connotations of your Chanel fanny pack, you can style it like Katy Perry did on a trip to Rio. I wouldn’t recommend it, but still: it’s a choice you can make. shop Chanel Bags through Vestiaire Collective
Κενταλ Τζενερ
Kendall Jenner was one of the fanny pack’s earliest supporters during this trend cycle, and she’s stuck with it through several different styles, including this little Chanel belt bag. shop Chanel Bags through Vestiaire Collective
Κενταλ Τζενερ
Back around the dawning of this newest version of the fanny pack trend, we also caught Kendall carrying this fake vintage Louis Vuitton version. For the counterfeit-averse among us, Louis Vuitton now makes a very similar real version. shop the Louis Vuitton Bumbag through Louis Vuitton ($1,500)
Κενταλ Τζενερ
Kendall has also embraced the Prada nylon resurgence, which is a trend in its own right. shop the Prada Nylon Belt Bag through farfetch.com ($870)
Κιμ Καρντάσιαν
Far be it from Kim Kardashian not to try out a sartorial trend. She was among the numerous who embraced Alexander Wang’s take on the fanny pack. shop Alexander Wang Bags through Shopbop
Lottie Moss
Kate Moss’s little sister Lottie tried a version of the trend that doesn’t appear to be designer. and really, that’s one of the best parts of the fanny pack trend—you don’t have to spend a fortune on it because the bags are, by their very nature, often quite inexpensive and made of non-leather materials.

Thassia Naves
Από την άλλη πλευρά, ο Gucci φαίνεται να έχει προβλέψει ότι η ευρεία αγάπη από τα αστέρια της μόδας θα υπονοούσε ότι οι άνθρωποι θα ήθελαν να αγοράσουν τις τσάντες ζώνης της μάρκας. Αγοράστε την τσάντα ζώνης Gucci Marmont μέσω Gucci (1.100 $)
