Belt Bags Are Basically Fancy Fanny Packs And We’re Totally Here For This Trend

I totally get the appeal of crossbody bags. The ability to carry everything you need while maintaining the use of your hands is pretty awesome.

I’m guessing that’s why fanny packs, err, belt bags are all the rage right now. Designers like Gucci and Fendi are making them as are brands like Topshop and Steve Madden. Crossbody bags were good, but belt bags are better because you carry all the weight around your waist instead of on your shoulder. Pretty, genius! We love it when fashion meets function.
