Having gained a bad rap over the years, fanny packs were a useful but long-forgotten street-style accessory, brought up only to make meme-worthy content, starting with this infamous meme of The Rock…
…into memes of clueless tourists.
But in the spirit of reviving things, since it’s 2020 (the year where trends we once loved have made a solid comeback) the latest accessory we’re hooked onto is fanny packs. From making appearances on the Instagrams of various celebrities to high-street fashion brands reviving the bag, the former athleisure staple has turned into a style statement. And hey, we’re definitely on-board with it – it’s easy to wear, pairs well with every outfit (yes, Indian-wear included) and keeps our hands free while storing our stuff, thus letting us focus on other, more important things. (Like, in case you were wondering, stuffing our faces with laddoos during festivals, or checking our DMs.)
Styling the trend isn’t always easy though, but we’ve got you covered. Swipe through to learn how to style fanny packs like a celebrity (excluding The Rock, sorry):
