The Chic Yet Practical Bag Style That's Trending Again in 2024
Once an "embarrassing" trend, belt bags (also known as fanny packs) have found their way back into fashion over the past few years. While they may not be the number one bag trend right now, they're practical, and it seems like a ton of fashion people are leaning into that regardless of what's at the top of the trend cycle. After all, The Row has a selection of belt bags, and when the industry's favorite quiet-luxury brand gives a piece its stamp of approval, it's worth taking note of. They're either worn classically around the waist or slung over the shoulders like a crossbody bag. Sandy Liang also debuted a belt version of her well-loved bow bags, so convenience is turning out to be in style for 2024.
Whether you're looking for a sleek designer option to suit your everyday outfits or a sporty bag to accompany you on your runs, we've found the most stylish and practical belt bags on the market. If you're still hesitant about trying out belt bags for yourself, let these options convince you otherwise.
After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, Yusra Siddiqui found her way to the team after graduating with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, Nylon, and Allure. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest social media trends, and diving deep into all things Gen Z-related.
