We hear it about once every two years (or once every... twelve-ish Fashion Weeks. There are too many Fashion Weeks.): the fanny pack has returned.
1. A convertible croc-effect waist bag, for extra versatility.
2. A galaxy-printed fanny pack that will leave both hands free to pilot a starship.
3. An eye-catching pack perfect for holding your essentials and advertising your fashion cred.
4. A pretty pack that looks as good draped across a chest as it does cinched around a waist.
5. A teeny tiny belt bag, which will make packing light easy and adorable.
6. A futuristic fanny pack with major Fifth Element vibes.
7. A streamlined fanny pack that's stylish, yet subdued.
8. A spacious fanny pack poised to usurp your messenger bag's place in your heart (and across your shoulder).
9. A sporty pack that's equal parts high altitude and high fashion.
10. A camo-lined fanny pack perfect for hiding valuables.
11. A slinky pack with a dark floral print that screams "FALL!"
12. A bumbag whose tassels might encourage gratuitous hip-shaking.
13. A suede pack that will add a little western flair to your southern half.
14. A color-blocked waist pack with a retro summer camp look.
15. A quilted pack that's very "ladies who lunch [with fanny packs]".
16. A minimalist fanny pack that will kill the "tacky tourist" connotation once and for all.
17. A rose gold fanny pack, because "pop of shine" is the new "pop of color".
18. And finally, a super-luxe leather fanny pack decorated with scarabs and lions, which looks like something a pharaoh would wear to fashion week.
