Oh they were definitely in style. They were/are a great way to carry stuff. Just look at all the yoga-tight pants on kids today with front pockets bursting at the seams. lol. These kids would LOVE to use fanny packs, but are too scared too.

I am so surprised everybody calls them out of style. Youth around here (German speaking countries) just throws them over the shoulder. This slowly creeped from 'dealer on the corner look' to the default norm.

  Right I'm aware of the 'over the shoulder' style happening in Europe right now. People recognize the utility of a fanny pack sized bag, but would never dare to wear it around the waist, for fear of being ridiculed.

    Exactly, and rightfully so. It just looks weird having it around the waist.

      I still even carry my phone in a belt pouch. A major Fashion Faux Pas, because I should be cramming it down a pocket, instead, like a civilized member of society. lol.

        Oh, now you made me remember the dedicated phone holder! That is another accessory that just went the way of the dodo. I guess the size of today's phones is to blame.

        Right. I'm the only one on the planet still using a belt-loop phone holder. :) I'm just old enough not to have `phone addiction` so I just wear it around and have no urge to take it out every 3 seconds.

        Well, if anything, it makes your phone much more easily accessible. Like a modern "phoneslinger". :)

  Fashions in everything. At one point I wanted a new fanny pack for some reason and you just couldn't find them. Then they became more common again. I have a friend who loves her pickleball carrier for carrying odds and ends around.

    In Texas most fanny packs are for guns, I bet. I wear my gun cowboy-style in a holster, but most women don't want to do that.
