I still can't pull it off, but I can see a woman like Aint No Mom Jeans pulling it off. Thin, wearing close fitting clothes.</p> <p>No t-shirt, yoga pants, and tennis shoes with a hip pack like this. </p> [attach=2976/14/n4jo6b.430x432.hip-pack.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1587716 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:40:40 +0000 joyjoy 1587716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just wondering whether fanny packs were a thing. My younger cousins have been using them. Personally, I don't think I would, but some of the ones posted on here are really not that bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1587713 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:34:50 +0000 JessKas 1587713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1587707 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:27:11 +0000 birdofafeather 1587707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: dying!</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: this is timely because i was trying to figure out if i could use this: <a href="http://shop.herschelsupply.com/collections/hip-packs/products/sixteen-hip-pack-khaki-polka-dot-navy" rel="nofollow">http://shop.herschelsupply.com/collections/hip-packs/products/sixteen-hip-pack-khaki-polka-dot-navy</a></p> <p>gonna do a backpack instead! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1587694 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 22:10:25 +0000 dolphin 1587694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I got a Kipling one signed by Fergie as a gift.

I think a small crossbody accomplishes the same thing, and it doesn't add that bulky look to the waistline. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1587047 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:18:47 +0000 chopsuey 1587047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha I wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1587040 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:17:36 +0000 avivoca 1587040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if it's a SPIbelt and only during races. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1587026 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:06:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1587026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend was rockin this one and I kinda fell in love with it!<br /> [attach=1448/14/n4i87e.178x145.fanny1.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1587010 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:52:47 +0000 sunny 1587010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish they were fashionable because they are so practical! </p> <p>Alas, I will stick to my crossbody bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1587007 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:49:18 +0000 LuLu Mom 1587007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh probably not...I just don't think I could get myself to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1587002 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:48:25 +0000 MrsStormy 1587002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally want to be confident enough to wear one because they are oh so functional, but I am not.... One thing though is they are and have been pretty popular and fashionable in other countries for a long time, most places they are a pretty major theft risk, people just cut the strap and there goes your stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1586991 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:38:57 +0000 Anagram 1586991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: yeah, she's cute but she's skinny and probably 18.

And nope!</p> <p>But your first picture there is what 99% of America will actually look like if fanny packs come back. Huge pack stuffed to the brim and making your body look bigger, frumpy clothes with the fanny pack cutting you right in half.... Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack/page/2#post-1586986 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:36:15 +0000 swurlygurl 1586986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't really been a fan of the 'stylish' ones listed above, but I kind of don't hate this look... maybe because it's not trying to hide from the fact that it's a fanny pack and it's just embracing it for what it is?</p> <p>ETA: It doesn't hurt that she's little and has cute clothes, I guess</p> <p>[attach=3446/14/n4i6og.600x398.chi-omega-fanny-pack-1.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack#post-1586984 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:35:15 +0000 swurlygurl 1586984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: These ones didn't make your list? :wink: </p> [attach=3446/14/n4i6ms.259x194.download.jpg] [attach=3446/14/n4i6mt.260x260.neon-green-dare-fanny-pack3.jpg] [attach=3446/14/n4i6mv.600x297.fanny-pack-attack.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack#post-1586976 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:32:18 +0000 Anagram 1586976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I googled a little before deciding. And I've decided you have to be thin, wearing very fashionable clothes, wearing a slim "fanny pack" (can we not call it a waist purse or hip bag?) to not look super frumpy.</p> <p>The only fanny pack I can tolerate here is the Kardashian one. The rest are yucks to me. </p> [attach=2976/14/n4i6hu.384x600.image.jpg] [attach=2976/14/n4i6hw.355x600.image.jpg] [attach=2976/14/n4i6hx.398x594.image.jpg] [attach=2976/14/n4i6hy.413x600.image.jpg] [attach=2976/14/n4i6i0.405x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack#post-1586825 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:26:20 +0000 swurlygurl 1586825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 years ago I would have said NO way. Now, the practical aspect of them is sooo tempting!<br /> The next time I go to a theme park or big Zoo, etc, I am totally getting a fanny pack. Carrying around a loaded backpack and then turning it around to get what you need is SO annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack#post-1586824 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:26:18 +0000 Freckles 1586824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I was just going to post a picture of that one before i saw your post!</p> <p>I think it would depend.

But I am very self-conscious when it comes to clothes/fashion so I just follow the crowd.

I'd just wear my purse across my body. But if you want to, then why not? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack#post-1586792 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:15:56 +0000 mrsjazz 1586792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: Wear a fanny pack if you want to! Even though I wouldn't wear one, I wear stuff that some people wouldn't wear all the time. Be your own fashionista :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack#post-1586778 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:09:37 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1586778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think fanny packs are SO practical.</p> <p>Fashion baffles me sometimes. I don't get why fanny packs are a fashion faux-pas. I guess because they were an 80s/90s thing that was embraced by uncool dads and moms in mom jeans? I still don't get it. Someone explain it to me! </p> <p> I don't like carrying a purse most of the time, so I resort to wearing pants with pockets and just carrying around my phone/id/credit card. I would totally use a fanny pack if it were socially acceptable, but I cave to peer pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack#post-1586775 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:08:06 +0000 Rocker2014 1586775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...no matter how cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-wear-a-fanny-pack#post-1586767 Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:03:07 +0000 Cherrybee 1586767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was about the post "no way" then I saw the Gucci one @oliviaoblivia: posted.

He has lost expensive sunglasses a few times that way too. Drives me NUTS. </p>
