Originally a practical way to go completely — and comfortably — hands-free while playing tourist on vacation, fanny packs have now officially entered the fashion mainstream. Beyond being chic accessories, though, this new generation of stylish fanny packs have plenty of functional details, like multiple compartments for storage, easily accessible pockets, and sleek, durable hardware. And if you're anything like me, once you discover just how many gorgeous shapes, styles, and sizes there are on the market, you'll be happy to embrace the trend.
So what will be the best fanny pack for you? Think about how you'll mostly wear it. If you plan to use your belt bag as more of an everyday purse, consider one in a neutral, goes-with-everything color that's roomy enough to fit all your essentials. Nylon and polyester are among the most durable and water-resistant materials, but supple faux leather is a great choice if you're going for a more elevated look.
To use your waist bag as more of an eye-catching fashion statement, go for a bold print, a rich color, or even an unexpected shape. Luxe touches like embellished straps and gold hardware can also help you find the sweet spot between dressy and casual.
With that in mind, it's time to shop for your perfect, fashionable fanny pack match. All of the picks below can be found on Amazon and worn multiple ways, like low on your hips or slung over your chest. Scroll on to see them all!

A Basic-In-A-Good-Way Fanny Pack With Tons Of Storage
A nylon belt bag is a versatile accent piece because the material is soft and flexible, but also sturdy and streamlined. Amazon reviewers have praised it for its ability to lay flat against your hips and chest, making it look far less bulky when it's stuffed with all of your things. The fanny pack has two, roomy zippered compartments, as well as a smaller pocket on the front so you can easily reach for your most used items, like lip balm and hair ties. The nylon belt is adjustable and the gold hardware makes for the perfect final touch.

A Gorgeous, Chevron-Stiched Waist Bag In A Cool Oval Shape
You can pair this gorgeous oval-shaped belt bag with anything in your closet and you'll instantly look five times more put together. The minimalist, faux-leather design features a modern, chevron-quilted pattern, and one zippered compartment, which per Amazon reviewers, can hold all of your most vital items. In addition to the wine red color pictured here, there are nearly a dozen more, including bright yellow and cherry red, which are all perfect for adding a pop of color to any outfit. The best thing about this bag, however, is that the strap is completely removable, which means you can mix and match it with your own belts to change up the look.

A Convertible Belt Bag With A Sleek, Streamlined Silhouette
With its saddle-style flap, faux leather construction, and subtle gold hardware, you may mistake this black fanny pack for something you'd find at a luxury price point. And even better than its quality materials (and wallet-friendly price tag) is just how versatile it is. Use the belt-buckle waist strap to wear it like a traditional fanny pack, or swap in the included, longer strap to turn it into real a crossbody purse. "This is well made! It's classy and can be 'dressed up' by wearing it with a suit, or 'dressed down,' by wearing it with jeans and a white blouse or t-shirt," noted one Amazon reviewer.
