They say everything old is new again, but I never thought I would see the return of the often maligned fanny pack. Wasn’t it just a minute ago that we were laughing about wearing them at all? But here we are and now they are highest-high fashion, what used to be the token accessory of the tourist set is now a legitimate star. 2018’s iteration of the fanny pack is anything you want it to be – elegant, utilitarian, sleek, a statement. And it helps with my new #LessIsMore mantra. You can only fit the essentials in here – no room for thirteen favorite lipglosses and a dozen used kleenexes.
We might have done it first but everyone from Gucci to ASOS is making the fanny pack look better this time around. Whether you prefer to wear it high-waisted, slung a little bit lower (who am I kidding I haven’t bought anything low slung in years), or even across your shoulders, there’s one for you.
