Whether you call it a belt bag, fanny pack, bum bag, or something else, you’ve probably noticed they’re having an it-girl moment (again)!
These bags constantly make a comeback because, let’s face it, they’re so handy! They can hold a lot, are easy to access when you’re on the go, and brands and designers are making much cuter ones these days!
They are often a fixture for concert-going because they allow you to keep your hands free for waving, clapping, and wild or romantic dancing. But they have huge value for travel too!
Here’s a pro tip for our Bleisure Living Besties who overpack but want to save time and not check a bag: belt bags are a third bag you can take on board!
This probably isn’t an official airline rule, but I’ve never been stopped for having my carry-on, backpack, AND belt bag ;). I put my phone, wallet, headphones, toiletries to freshen up, and even a snack in my belt bag for easy access throughout the airport and flight.
Here are my recommendations for…
The minimalist
The Athleta Belt Bag is a perfect fit for the minimalist. With its sleek design and simple functionality, it offers just enough space for essentials without unnecessary bulk.
The style icon
Think Royln’s Bum Belt Bags effortlessly elevate any outfit, making them ideal for those who want to transition from exploring during the day to a nice dinner at night. I LOVE that all their bags come with a crossbody strap and belt strap, so the style is like two bags in one!
The overpacker
CALPAK’s Luka Belt Bag is a lifesaver for overpackers! It can fit travel essentials, an e-reader, and small items like socks or underthings. Plus, it doesn’t sacrifice style for convenience and comes in many fun colors!
The utilitarian
Patagonia’s Ultralight Black Hole Mini Hip Pack is the ultimate choice for the utilitarian because of its durable construction, practical features, and versatility for outdoor adventures or everyday use. It’s a solid travel companion!
No matter the kind of belt bagger you are, there’s a perfect option to keep you organized with everything you need on the go!
