The Bum Bag Is Back- Here's How To Wear It In 2018
How to wear the revitalised trend in 2018.
Once a taboo accessory reserved for tourist attire, the bum bag has successfully staged a comeback and is now cooler than ever. From the Spring 2018 runways to the street style scene and the best dressed models off-duty, the '90s staple is having the ultimate revival this season. Whether you're looking for the cool-girl styling tricks or the best designer styles to shop, here's how to wear the fanny pack in 2018.
On The Runway
From ultra-nineties nylon iterations to tiny belt bags, the fanny pack took over the Spring 2018 runways in endless shapes and forms.

The Cool Girl Makeover
Landing the It model stamp of approval, Bella Hadid demonstrates the updated way to wear the fanny pack: by draping it across your chest like a cross body bag.
In Living Color
Bringing the bag back to its roots, A$AP Rocky proved the once-taboo nylon version is back again and best done in the bright '90s-inspired colours.
Belt It
For a more subdued version of the look, try a small belt bag looped through jeans à la Karlie Kloss in a vintage Chanel bag.
Logo Mania
Kendall Jenner has proven the versatility of the fanny pack in the past year, styling the accessory with an array of outfits. Layered over a jacket, as a belt bag, or worn around your stomach in true tourist fashion, the model puts a high-fashion twist on the look with the help of logo bags.
Suited Up
Going for a more modern-version of the look, Halle and Chloe Bailey opted for clean, envelope-style waist bags to cinch the waist of their pantsuits.
Fur Real
For a more unique take on the trend, try a faux fur style sure to stand out when worn over a coat or blazer.
Hypebeast Bait
Try a skater-inspired version of the look in a bright colour sure to brighten up even the most neutral of looks.
Crossbody Hack
No fanny pack? No problem. Try Rihanna's styling hack and wear a small crossbody bag with a short strap across your chest for the same effect.
Winter Uniform
Make the look work for even the coldest of temperatures by styling it over your coat or jacket, as demonstrated by Kaia Gerber.
