“I’ve considered using this as a money belt when I’m in crowded areas. “Once full, flip the belt over so the openings are close to your body and nothing falls out.” Fergus always packs one for trips - since she has to carry her vaccine card much more on these trips, it’s become especially handy.
“The design is ingenious, too: It’s essentially a neoprene tube about the width of your phone, with slits to slip in essentials,” she adds. “The neoprene belt sits squarely on your hips and is tight enough to keep from bouncing around when you’re running,” she says. Although it’s much more athletic-looking than others on our list, Fergus is “extremely loyal” to this belt, owning more than five of them in different colors by her calculation. This pick comes from frequent flier (and regular runner) Molly Fergus, who is the general manager of TripSavvy. “I take it everywhere, and it’s convenient for when I need to be hands-free, whether that’s at the grocery store, chasing my toddler around the neighborhood, or at protests. “It’s just big enough to carry the absolute minimum: The main compartment fits my wallet (which is admittedly fat), phone, keys, a small bottle of hand sanitizer, lip balm, and a mask,” she says. She also likes that it’s made of easily wipeable vegan leather. Ro says she especially likes the pocket in the front with cardholders, which lets her grab her credit card without having to dig. “What makes it convenient for baby use is what makes it great for everyday life: Everything you need is easily accessible, and it’s small enough to not get in the way,” she adds.
FANNY PACK WOMEN PLUS
But some have a limit on how long they go, so we’ve made note of that wherever we can.Īfter being sent this diaper bag–fanny pack combo by Kibou last April, it has become Strategist senior writer Lauren Ro’s “go-to.” While it’s technically meant to act as a compact replacement for a diaper bag - it has space for diapers, a waterproof pocket for wipes, plus a built-in changing mat in the back - she has begun using it as her everyday bag, she says. Strap length: Most fanny packs have adjustable straps, so you can tighten or loosen them to fit your size or activity needs. Most have the typical buckle closure, but a few on this list are unique in their design. We note the material makeup of each fanny pack so you can pick the one that’s right for you.Ĭlosure: Whether it sits above your hips or across your chest, each fanny pack has a specific way it’s closed. Neoprene, which can be hand-washed with light detergents, and leather are easier to clean. Water-resistant materials like nylon and polyester will ensure your things stay dry. Material: A fanny pack can be dressed up for date night, thrown on while hiking a mountain, or even used as a hands-free diaper bag - and the material will help determine its functionality. If you don’t want to scroll through all the options, you can click any of the links below to jump straight to the fanny pack that sounds right for you.īest overall | Best less expensive | Best for travel | Best for errands | Best leather | Best leather under $200 | Best for parents | Best ( faux) leather for parents | Best for running To find the most stylish (but still functional) fanny packs, we asked more than a dozen fashionable people, including models, photographers, stylists, and some of our own writers and editors, for their favorites. “Make it completely hands-free, and it’s a no-brainer.” And the bright-neon nylon fanny packs of yesteryear are still here - but you’re also more likely to see them in similar styles to the latest “It” bag: Take Coach’s suede-and-leather one, for example, or even this jacquard option from Dior. “Gone are the days of bulky wallets and carrying around an entire vanity’s worth of makeup - a phone, card wallet, lip gloss, keys, and your mask - is all need,” says stylist Lauren Messiah. There’s a good reason it’s made such a transcendent comeback: Much like the Crocs renaissance, a fanny pack is, simply put, practical. Now it’s just as common to see one as you would a backpack, gym bag, status tote, or cross-body. Once mocked as a tourist trope, the fanny pack - also known as a belt bag, bum bag, or even waist pack - has become a must-have.
