4 Reasons to Trade Your Purse for a Fanny Pack

Stop right there—back away from your purse, way back into fashion’s past. The year is 1985, the hair is big and the fanny packs are a-plenty. Fastened right around the waist, this pouch is an alternative for toting around your essentials, and it’s finding it’s way back into the wardrobes of the fashion minded today, too. Not convinced that you need one just yet? We’ll change your mind.

Take a Load Off

Sure, the bag that you’re carrying now always has your back, but it’s damaging it, too. The weight of all your things is putting pressure on your shoulders and spine, and if you sometimes feel pain in those areas, this is why. A fanny pack, however, will relieve that stress.

Be Hands-Free

You’ve got your clutch in one hand, coffee in the other, but what about your cell phone? What will you do when it rings? When you wear a fanny pack, you’ll have all—two—hands on deck for everything.

Cut the Crap

Do you really need six tubes of lipstick and three different moisturizers? We tend to think that carrying a bigger bag means more room, but we’re really just lugging around a bunch more junk than we actually need. Fanny packs only have room for only the bare necessities.

Turn a New Fashion Leaf

When was the last time you took a style risk? Chances are you tend to play it safe, and although there’s nothing wrong with that, it can get a bit boring. Switch your style up with a fanny pack—it’s unexpected, and with so many modernized designer versions, finding a fashionable one that suits you won’t be a challenge.

Now do you see why we’ve fallen for the fanny pack? No other accessory combines fashion and function the way it does, so we know you’ll love it, too.

Aren't these fanny packs fun?
