I’ve never been a fan of these...they conjure up ugly stereotypes of American tourists on vacation with fanny packs, white socks, shorts, and a Bermuda shirt with a huge camera hung around their necks. You know what I’m talking about! I just wish that fanny packs weren't so taboo, because they do serve a purpose if you want to be hands-free or you just have a back/shoulder problem. But they do look unattractive. And I think the vinyl makes it look worse, it stands out much more.
An alternative to fanny pack is a fashionable small purse for ladies
and for men a small backpack.
