Fashion and practicality merge in the must-have accessory of summer 2017: the fanny pack. Remember the joy of the ’90s? Mornings filled with sugary cereals and cartoons, birthday parties at roller rinks, and a time when Donald Trump was just another celebrity. Those were the days! While many trends from that era have faded away, there are some surprising comebacks—like the infamous fanny pack, once a staple of questionable dad fashion.
Fanny packs have been a favorite among festival-goers for years, but they truly gained traction when celebrities like Lila Thompson started flaunting them. Now they’re officially back in style, and social media is buzzing with excitement over the trend.
For someone like me who loves to keep snacks on hand while enjoying full mobility—without a cumbersome purse swinging from my shoulder—this trend is a win. Plus, Instagram is filled with fanny pack inspiration.
There’s a wide variety of options available, from vintage styles to high-end designer pieces. You can find everything from a chic Fenty x Puma model priced at $200 to an extravagant Burberry clutch that attaches to a luxurious Italian leather belt, costing nearly $3,000.
Now referred to as butt bags, bum bags, belt bags, or waist satchels depending on the retailer, fanny packs were once all the rage around 25 years ago. They fell out of favor, but like many fashion trends, they have made a solid comeback—especially with other nostalgic styles like mom jeans and crop tops also returning to the spotlight. Maybe we can start a movement to bring back those colorful windbreakers too.
