Are you slinging it diagonally? If it’s just strapped around your waist, it’s giving major tourist vibes. Crossbody elevates it, trust. Bonus points if it’s peeking out from under a blazer. Cool points: +1.
Are you using it to define your waist? Cinching it over a dress or sweater? If you're hiding it under a baggy shirt, that’s a fail. Waist definition = instant cool. Cool points: +1.
Is it low on your hips with wide-leg pants? That’s a retro cool move. But if it’s riding high, you might want to rethink. Cool points: +1 if hip hugger.
Is it hidden under an open jacket, strap peeking out? Subtle, edgy, and practical. If it’s just chilling on top of everything, it’s basic. Cool points: +1 if layered.
Leather? Nylon? Are you matching or contrasting textures? If it’s a plain, boring bag, it’s losing points. Material mix = style points. Cool points: +1 if you’re mixing it up.
5 Cool Points: You’re a fanny pack fashion icon.
3-4 Cool Points: You’re on the right track.
0-2 Cool Points: Time for a fanny pack makeover.
