5 Mistakes not to make when wearing a fanny pack If you look like a trapper or your father, you are doing something wrong
Let us face it, there's no shame in carrying a handbag, whether it's a fanny pack or a shoulder strap. Pants pockets are often not enough to hold all the various accessories of daily life, and we can all agree that nothing ruins a look like the triangular silhouette of a smartphone sticking out of your pocket or the thickness of a wallet bulging the back pocket of a pair of jeans. The value of a bag is also that of an accessory that, when worn well, can turn an entire look around - provided a few simple rules are followed. After the boom of streetwear in 2016, among other things, the fanny pack, worn as a shoulder strap, is more popular than ever among the younger generation, and has become almost the symbol of middle-aged men on summer vacation. However, regardless of your age or the esthetics of your choice, the fanny pack remains an integral part of men's accessories and should therefore be worn tastefully, but without obvious style breaks, which we will warn you about in the rest of this article.
So without further ado, here are the 5 mistakes you should not make when wearing a fanny pack.
1 – Avoid the "mailman effect"
Anything that could make you even remotely comparable to the drug dealer next door or one of the local trappers who populate the Milanese suburbs (and occasionally even the prisons) is inadvisable for your styling. Especially the so-called "maranza", that is, the Italian proles, have adopted in recent years a very typical uniform to recognize each other. A fanny pack, which is either fake or, even if it is real, so tasteless as to look fake, is an indispensable item, even in the winter months when jackets and vests provide a good amount of pockets in which to stow your belongings. If you are tempted to buy such a fanny pack, do not give in to the temptation. Unless youthful exuberance seduces you beyond measure.
