How to wear a fanny pack in 2025?
The fanny pack has made a huge comeback in recent years… and in 2025, it's more stylish than ever. Gone are the purely practical accessory of the '90s: today, the fanny pack is a true fashion statement, as on-trend in the city as it is at festivals.
But how do you wear it well without falling into the "tourist in flip-flops" look? Here are our simple and effective tips for adopting the fanny pack in 2025, with style.
1. Choose the right model
It all starts with choosing the right fanny pack . In 2025, we're forgetting the cheap fluorescent nylon versions (unless Y2K is your thing) and focusing on:
-
Genuine leather or high-end imitation leather , for a more sophisticated look
-
Sober or trendy colors : black, beige, khaki, terracotta, or leopard print for the more daring
-
Elegant finishes : gold closure, metal buckle, or adjustable shoulder strap
The fanny pack can be chic, minimalist, streetwear, or bohemian. It's up to you to choose according to your personal style.
2. Wear it across your body: the most stylish way
The trendiest way to wear a fanny pack in 2025 is across your chest. It's both practical and ultra-stylish.
-
Wear it on the front for a street and confident look
-
Wear it on the back for a more discreet and sporty effect
Tip: For a fashionable look, tighten the strap so that it fits snugly around the upper body.
3. Match it to your outfit
The fanny pack fits (almost) every style:
Urban look
High-waisted jeans, oversized blazer, sneakers + black leather fanny pack = winning combo.
Casual chic look
Flowing dress, minimalist sandals + beige faux leather fanny pack worn at the waist = effortless.
Festival / streetwear look
Crop top, cargo pants, sunglasses + leopard fanny pack slung over your shoulder = confident vibe.
Fashion tip: Avoid overdoing it with accessories. A fanny pack is already a statement piece!
4. Wear it at the waist… but well
The classic waist-length port is also making a comeback, but be careful:
-
It should fit well (neither too high nor too loose)
-
Ideal over a dress or a long shirt to accentuate the waist
-
Perfect for giving a retro chic touch to your silhouette
We see it a lot on Instagram worn slightly to the side, to break the symmetry.
5. Focus on functionality
The fanny pack is practical, and that's also what we like in 2025. We choose models with:
-
Several zipped compartments
-
Resistant materials
-
A well-designed interior for phone, keys, credit card, etc.
It's the ideal accessory for going out light while staying stylish.
In summary
The fanny pack is THE fashion chameleon of 2025. Versatile, stylish, practical: it adapts to your look, your lifestyle, and your desires.
Whether you wear it across your body or around your waist, chic or casual, it's the accessory that will boost any outfit.
