Not long ago, wearing a fanny pack could only have meant at least one of these three things: a) you were a tourist b) you were over 60 or c) that you were just a tacky S-O-B. But not anymore….
Nowadays fanny packs are no longer considered to be one of the most grievous fashion faux pas that a traveler could commit, that is, if you choose the right one. Check out our favorite fashion fanny packs:
