Bum Bags, Fanny Packs, Belt Bags. No matter what you call them, belt bags are one of my favorite accessories. People underestimate the versatility of these bags. Not only do they allow you to go hands-free and double as a retro waist-cincher, but they can also be rocked in MANY different ways.

1. Cinch it In

Use a belt bag to accentuate your waist by tying it around a larger sweater, sweatshirt, or jacket. Oversized silhouettes are a fashionista’s favorite, and did I mention they’re utterly comfortable?!

2. Wear it High

Did you know you don’t have to wear a belt bag around your waist? You can rock it across your chest, which creates a totally different (but equally chic) vibe!

3. Sporty Chic

More about function over fashion? Bum bags are the perfect pair for any gym-goer. They can fit your phone, headphones, car keys, and gym badge. Leave the large gym bag at home!

4. Edge it Up

No better way to edge up a more feminine look than by adding a grungy, black leather fanny pack styled across your chest or waist. Break up the frills with some fanny - you get it? ;)

5. Monochrome Magic

Tonal outfits are SO hot right now. Whether you are rocking head to toe black or a trendy seasonal color, don’t forget to tie your bag into the theme to make an even bigger (and cooler) statement.

6. Go Oversized

Always feel that you can’t hold enough in your bag? There are plenty of sizes when it comes to belt bags. Opt for an oversized option and make it the statement piece of your look.
