If You need style Inspo for the Fanny pack Trend, celebrities have offered All You could ask for

Fanny packs are, understandably, controversial. The waist-worn bags have their share of historically unstylish associations, but in the fashion climate of 2018, that only makes them all the much more ripe for a comeback, just like tiny sunglasses. even so, wearing one of these bags in public can be a bit daunting; not only are they something many people aren’t used to incorporating into an outfit, but choosing a fanny pack also requires admitting to the world that you’ve succumbed to a rather silly trend. especially if you want to sling one across your chest, which is the trendiest way to go. (And yes, people are actually doing this out in the wild, or at least in my trendy Brooklyn neighborhood. And, admittedly, I am doing it too.)

Thankfully, fanny packs are a pretty broad category, and the trend also includes the much more demure variety: belt bags, which are actual belts with petite little pouches on them. They’re much more tailored and dressy than their roomy alternatives, which makes them better for different kinds of outfits and occasions. On the other hand, if you’re searching for the trendiest possible option, you’ll want to opt for a full-on fanny pack because they’re the exceptional crossbody option.

If all this feels like a little much, or if your interest is piqued but you’re not sure where to start, we’ve got some inspiration for you: celebrities have been on the fanny pack trend like white on rice over the past few months, and in the nearly two dozen images below, you can pick out all the styling tricks and suggestions you need.

Bella Hadid
One useful option for slowly incorporating a bold trend like a fanny pack into your wardrobe is simply not wearing it as intended. In fact, just carry it in your hand, as Bella Hadid is doing with this Prada Tessuto Belt Bag. shop the Prada Nylon Belt Bag through farfetch.com ($870)

Katy Perry
If you really want to drive home the traveler connotations of your Chanel fanny pack, you can style it like Katy Perry did on a trip to Rio. I wouldn’t recommend it, but still: it’s a choice you can make. shop Chanel Bags through Vestiaire Collective

Lottie Moss
Kate Moss’s little sister Lottie tried a version of the trend that doesn’t appear to be designer. and really, that’s one of the best parts of the fanny pack trend—you don’t have to spend a fortune on it because the bags are, by their very nature, often quite inexpensive and made of non-leather materials.

Lupita Nyong’o
Take, for example, Lupita Nyong’o and her Herschel supply Co. Fifteen velvet Belt Bag, found at a protestin LA—another ideal use for a completely hands-free, adjustment-free bag. shop the Herschel supply Co. Fifteen Belt Bag through Bloomingdale’s ($30)

Rita Ora

One very available method to fanny packs, as seen on Yara Shahidi with her Chanel Fanny Pack, is to simply pretend it’s not a fanny pack at all. shop Chanel Bags through Vestiaire Collective

Yuwei Zhangzou
Yuwei is demonstrating an essential point here: it’s really not advisable to wear bags that are far to the belt bag end of the belt bag/fanny pack spectrum in the crossbody style. They’re just too tight and structured. shop the Gucci Marmont Belt Bag through Gucci ($1,100)
