“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.

Material: Vegan leather | Closure: Buckle closure | Strap length: 33–49 inchesĪfter being sent this diaper bag–fanny pack combo by Kibou, 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. Now, they’re easy to find right inside the bum bag, which also has a handy back pocket for cards. I’m known for scrambling around my bag, sure that this time I’ve lost my keys for good - only to find them wedged between my SPF and claw clip.

I like how it holds its shape even when I’ve stuffed it full of my essentials.
Their recommendations convinced me to try the bag, and it has become my go-to on daily walks. Content creator Bethany Everett-Ratcliffe of Twenty Something also recommends this one, noting that it comes in ten different colors and “is small but durable.” “It also feels a little less sporty, so it’s a nice ‘going out’ option,” she adds. And since it’s made of “forgiving, easy-to-clean” neoprene, “it expands a fair bit,” so she can stuff more into it. Strategist editor Maxine Builder uses the brand’s fanny pack because its “logo is hidden on the backside, in relatively small print,” making it more discreet than her other fanny pack, the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag. Here at the Strategist, we love the neoprene backpacks, carry-ons, and work totes from Dagne Dover, and its fanny pack tops our list, as it maximizes function and style. Material: Neoprene | Closure: Buckle closure | Strap length: 36 inches 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 more likely to see them in styles similar 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 you need,” says stylist Lauren Messiah.
There’s a good reason it has 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.
