Shop the Trend: Fanny Packs

Happy Holidays! We select the year’s biggest trends and how to shop them in this easy guide. This week: Fanny Packs.

Fanny packs. They were popular in the 80s, then again in the 90s, then again back in ‘08 thanks to that neo-80s nostalgia that was dominating the cultural landscape, and again now. So I guess technically they never really left. Anyways, this year the pouch returned and moved up the social ladder and physical body this year after it was seen worn as a shoulder bag on the runways of Louis Vuitton and Supreme. No longer limited to the fanny, it became one of the year’s biggest trends, seen on every cool downtown kid I went to school with and models off duty alike. Happy Cyber Monday~

supreme
Okay, so the Supreme x Louis Vuitton bag that started it all is out of stock, unless you wanna spend like a jillion dollars for resale on Grailed or eBay. But this waist bag from the skate brand — complete with the signature blunt logo — should suffice.

$126 at Supreme.
