The 15 Best Fanny Packs That Scream "Fashion"

“I think one of the most popular is the Lululemon belt bag,” says Kassab of this durable, versatile option, which is beloved by celebrities. “It’s a small fanny pack with an adjustable belted strap with a water repellent fabric. It’s perfect for an active day on the go. It’s small but minimal, so it goes with everything.” Offered in 14 colors and patterns, including this trendy camo print, you’re bound to find the fanny pack style of your dreams in this small but mighty piece.

While fanny packs are typically associated with a more athletic, functional look, there are also a number of options available for those who prefer luxury looks. “For something a little higher end, the Prada Re-Nylon belt bag is amazing,” Kassab gushes. “It has the classic Prada triangle logo on the front in silver hardware. This bag is great because of the three different pockets, which is perfect for storing all of your essentials.”

“The Rag & Bone commuter fanny pack is great for any night out,” says Kassab. “It’s made of lambskin leather and has a couple of different pockets on the front, back, and inside.  Put your cards, ID, and lip gloss inside and you’re ready for a night out.” This versatile option also comes in white, with silver toned hardware that would offset a set of silver jewelry perfectly. It also has an adjustable strap, so you can easily wear it any way you like.

This option from Fjallraven, which comes in both black and light brown, is made for any kind of weather because of its nylon fabric. Kassab agrees, “When looking for a fanny pack, take into consideration when you will wear it. If you plan on wearing it during the day, and it will go through many different places and climates, I would go for a nylon fabric. It’s water resistant and will wear better.” And this option is super cute—and affordable—to boot.

Dagne Dover is one of my all-time favorite brands. The AAPI-owned company makes versatile bags in gorgeous, unique colorways that still manage to match with everything. That’s why it comes as no surprise that this belt bag, which comes in four colors, has multiple pockets that are perfect for storing your wallet, phone, keys, wallet—just about anything. Plus, it has an adjustable strap, which Kassab recommends for any belt bag “so that you can make it as comfortable as can be.”

If you thought that fanny bags were made exclusively for daytime wear (like hikes or afternoons spent wandering the city), think again. Kassab reminds us that there are a number of elevated belt bags out there that rival even the most popular evening purses—it’s just a matter of knowing what fabric to look for. “For nighttime wear, I would do a leather or faux leather bag,” she explains. “It’s more formal and elevated.” This option by Kurt Geiger London even features a belt that’s half chain, half leather for an edgier look.

Cuyana is another of my go-to brands. Wholeheartedly devoted to sustainability, they champion a mindset of “fewer, better” by creating luxurious staple pieces that are built to last for years—even generations—to come. This belt bag is a great example of that ethos, made from premium Italian leather with a structured silhouette that transcends passing trends. It comes in three colors, including black and brown, but I’m partial to this new dark coral colorway, which works well into fall. 

Looking for your next winter bag? Look no further than this belt bag from MZ Wallace, which looks like a down coat and comes in five unique colors, from neutrals to neons. Reviewers say that it fits a surprising number of items, clocking in as one of the roomiest options on this list. For added convenience, it also has four inner pockets and one outer pocket, all of which are lined with fabric, and has an adjustable strap.

It’s this belt bag from Isabel Marant that ultimately won me over, with the studded detailing on its outline and its multi-paneled leather. It has an almost Bohemian look to it, particularly in this timeless terracotta colorway. The bag also comes in three additional colors, including light beige, black, and biscuit, all of which are easy to wear during any season with any outfit. It’s also lined on the inside with a top zip enclosure and an additional exterior pocket for extra storage.

This tiny metallic bag fits right in with the micro bag trend, but with a glittery twist. It’s made from metallic textured leather, embellished with row upon row of meticulously placed crystals. The bag features a single slip pocket and fits everything a standard wallet would, and also includes some extra space inside for essentials like keys. Plus, it’s versatile, with a strap that’s detachable so you can use the pouch as a wallet.

This fanny pack from Max Mara is designed to match the brand’s iconic Teddy coat, which was released a decade ago to great acclaim and instant popularity. The bag, like the coat, is fuzzy to the touch (hence the name “Teddy”), made from a soft blend of wool and silk. It’s also spacious, with a zip pocket on the inside and another external one on the back—each of which are perfect for securing extra important items like your phone, keys, cash, and wallet.

This belt bag puts a funky twist on the classic, turning the typically athletic accessory into an ultra modern, geometric fashion statement. It’s made from 100 percent genuine Italian leather with a soft cotton lining and an adjustable, removable strap. Plus, it’s high tech: The inside of the bag has a special pocket meant for charging your phone with the brand’s signature wireless charger. Style this bag with an all black outfit for a head turning pop of color, or with an all purple look for a monochromatic masterpiece.

Looking to spice up your wardrobe with a fun pattern? Look no further than this adorable floral fanny pack, which keeps it simple with one easy compartment big enough to store all of your essentials. It features a handy adjustable strap and is made from nylon, rendering it durable and weather-resistant. Style it with a similarly patterned dress in the spring and summer, or use it to brighten up an otherwise dark colored outfit in the fall and winter.

Another fun metallic option, this silver toned fanny pack is made from genuine calf leather and features both internal and external zipped pockets. It has an adjustable, detachable shoulder strap made for optimal convenience, and its logo is on the inside rather than the outside—something that I tremendously appreciate. It’s great for a frosty winter look when paired with all white, or it can be used to coordinate with shiny silver jewelry.

For all the luxury lovers in search of the right belt bag, this is the ultimate splurge. It’s structured and boxy—even featuring a woven exterior—but its calfskin leather makeup gives it a softened look that keeps the bag from looking too geometric or ostentatious. Its adjustable shoulder strap extends up to 21.6 inches down, and its flap top secures shut with a magnet rather than a zipper. Lightweight with one interior pocket, it’s suited to fit all your essentials.
