![]() ![]() This type of fanny pack is most often characterized by bright colors, sometimes funky design and big logos and brand names. I can only find 3 styles of fanny packs, but please do comment on this post if you have another one you wish to share with the world. This will definitely also make you stand out, as most people tend to wear it over the shoulder.įanny packs have made such a strong comeback that it no longer limited to the world of street-wear. Lately, I have seen more and more people just wearing it around the waist, like it was designed too. Wearing it loose also makes it much easier to sling around on the back, which I think looks slick as hell! Less people wear it this way and it will make you stand out instead of looking like someone who just bought it because you saw it worn like that on some celebrity. I tend to wear it more loose, like Asap Rocky in the picture right under here. In most street style picture of guys wearing fanny packs, you will see them wearing it tightly over the chest, like the picture above. ![]() Yes, there are more ways to wear it than you would think! I think this kind of bag is way more comfortable to wear than the other fanny packs, but it often offers limited storage space. You can see me wearing one in this post, and I quite like the look. I don’t consider this a shoulder bag due to its size. This is an evolution of the original fanny pack that is simply impossible to wear around the waist. ![]() But i also throw one on when i feel like going full on modern street-wear! I find myself wearing those when wearing shorts, because some shorts have smaller pockets which can’t fit all my stuff. I feel these are more of a fashion statement, although they can be very practical. These fanny packs are more common, and some can even be very small. Because of its size, it actually looks great when i turn it on my back, like a backpack. It’s more of an urban workwear look as opposed to the raw streetwear look. ![]() Eastpak is known for creating affordable backpacks that will last a lifetime! It’s size makes it easy to put many things in it, like sunscreen, an extra t-shirt, my vape and much more (practical for festivals)! I recommend this specific one that i got on Brandfield from Eastpak and Dickies because it is well made and will endure a lot of friction and tension. Because it has a bigger and thicker strap, it is very comfortable to wear, even when it’s heavy. The big fanny pack, like the one I am wearing in the picture above, is more of a practical item to me than a fashion statement. But what made it flatline was the fact that dad’s started wearing them to the beach and other public places! Perhaps this new way of wearing it around the shoulder is a silent “fuck you” to the older generation of dads who wore it around the waist?įanny packs are not just fanny packs! Today, different types are available and the question is, which one should you choose? The fanny pack’s demise was mainly due to the fact that is was cheap to make, thus used as a marketing tool for many companies. And if jogging pants, sweat bands, sneakers, and leg warmers could be worn in public, then why the hell not a fanny pack?Īdweek named the fanny pack the hottest product of the year in 1988 and it was soon seen in Chanel ads on Claudia Schiffer, on members of Public Enemy and even wrestlers (i tried to erase the Rock’s infamous fanny pack picture from my mind, but without success). But in the late 80’s, a lot of the sportswear you would find at the gym and other places, slowly became mainstream. The fanny pack originally appealed to outdoor sports enthusiasts as a way of carrying a lunch, smaller equipment and many other things. A little research shows that Sports Illustrated had a fanny pack ad 8 years before the alleged australian woman was said to have invented it.īut this Sports Illustrated ad is a good way to start the story of the fanny pack (don’t worry, i will keep it short). I am not going into who invented the fanny pack, because that story is shrouded in mystery. ![]()
