Happy Hump Day! I'm excited to write this post since I haven't done a fashion inspired one in awhile. This one is inspired by my love of belt bags aka fanny packs and my preferred method of wearing them, especially while traveling. Depending on the style, I tend to wear them across my chest as opposed to around my waist. It's just more comfortable that way, plus it is easier to access. As mentioned in my Toko Travel Tips post about bringing a smaller bag for easy access, the below belt bags came in handy when I needed to easily access money or my PASMO card while in Tokyo. Plus, for those times I was shopping around my hotel or just grabbing some food, the smaller bag was much more convenient, especially in those tight shops!
The three below are my current favorite and the ones I brought with me to Japan (hey, a girl's gotta have options!)
1. Adidas Logo Belt Bag - I love the size of this one and the fact that you can wear it not only as a belt bag or across the front, but also as a longer crossbody bag. I've always been a fan of bold colors, like red, and the Adidas logo so this caught my eye instantly and I knew I wanted to wear it while traveling (with my all Adidas ensemble basically, ha ha). The smaller size actually fits quite a bit including a wallet, coin purse, and my passport.
2. Adidas Pebbled Faux Leather Fanny Pack - This one I've had for awhile, at least over 6 months, and is still one of my favorites. It's black so pairs well with almost anything and it is a good size if I wanted to carry any extra items including a hand cream or a couple lip options.
3. Herschel Supply Co. Fourteen Belt Bag - Initially online, the shape of this bag looked a bit odd to me, but I person, it was actually pretty perfect. What caught my attention the most though was this icy Glacier color that is almost like a mint green. It's lightweight and smaller than the Adidas pebble one, but still carries quite a bit and takes no room in your luggage. Plus, it was a nice contrast to the red and black and a color I don't own in any bag form.
I've also shared a few other options of belt/fanny bags that I'm a fan of or purchased to travel with last year.
Are you a fan of fanny/belt bags? How do you prefer to wear them?
