PSA: Carrie and Samantha's Favourite Bag Style Is Trending

It's safe to say that almost every fashion trend worn by Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte in the six seasons of Sex and the City will slowly but surely make its way back into our wardrobes. And 2017 has heralded the comeback of the bum bag/fanny pack/"dad bag" (or whatever other nomenclature you prefer). Thanks to street-hot cred of the likes of Gucci, Off-White, and Moschino, we’re once again shopping for belt bags just as Carrie and Samantha did in the '90s. But this time around, we're styling them with a twist.

The fashion elite are wearing the mini bags every way possible—from around the body, to slung under the arm like a shoulder bag, and even secured high up on the chest. The functional weekend accessory is also the perfect thing to take you from running errands to brunch with your friends without the hassle of juggling multiple tote bags. And with styles from classic leather to the traditional logo print, we must admit we have our eyes on a few statement-worthy Gucci pieces in particular.

Keep scrolling to take note of street style inspiration, then shop the Gucci bags, plus other options as well.
