Your Girl Can't Stop Talkin' About Belt Bags? Gift Her 1 of These For the Holidays
Ever since the fanny pack trend took off with full steam, women have been finding countless ways to style their bags. Ditch a belt, and strap a pouch through the loops of your denim. Cinch in a blazer with the adorable accessory. Swing one over your shoulder, the same way you would a sash. At the same time, new brands have been popping up with gorgeous iterations that ā given their generally smaller structure ā ring in at a more affordable price. That makes a belt bag the perfect holiday gift, doesn't it? Read ahead for some simple tricks for wearing one, then shop some of our favorites.
