Belt Bag Outfits

Looking for Belt Bag Outfits? Yup, I'm telling you all the ways to wear a fanny pack (cause that's what they're actually called, right?!?)

Want to know how to create belt bag outfits? These are 3 simple ways to wear a belt bag (aka fanny pack)!

I guess if you live long enough, everything comes back in style right? I wore fanny packs in elementary school (especially on our first family trip to Disneyland) and now? They're back.  Fine, they're called belt bags now.  Fine, they're a little fancier that the one I had from Sportsac.  But they're the same thing.  And the irony? I still wear mine with all my Disneyland Outfits.

Once I realized I was wearing a decent amount of belt bag outfits (aka actually USING my belt bag) I decided it was time to invest in a nice one.  This one? The Aminta Belt Bag from ABLE is super high quality.  And since I own a number of their other bags, I know it will wear well and last for a LONG time.

Belt Bag Outfits

So here we go.  I did research.  And by research I mean looking at the younger, hipper people at Disneyland to see how THEY created Belt Bag Outfits.  How did they wear theirs? I needed outfit ideas.  And I narrowed it down to three easy ways.  I promise, this will convince you that need a belt bag too.  Unless you need a massive bag (in that case, I have suggestions in my what to pack for disneyland post)…..then a belt bag can contain pretty much everything you need for a day of tourism or at an amusement park.

On the hunt for ways to style a belt bag? These belt bag outfits show all three ways to wear one!

Option 1: Around the Waist

This is the old school way to style a belt bag.  The waist belt part? Goes around your waist (not exactly rocket science).  I'm 99% positive if I look at my moms I can find a picture of me in my green short-overalls with my fanny pack outside the Pirates of the Caribbean ride (yes, I'm aware I can recreate the whole thing down to the shortalls I wore all summer, don't judge!).  This is the simplest way to style a belt bag….and works great with a dress or jeans and a tee.  The only time I don't love it? If you're wearing a looser top or dress, it obviously brings it like…..a belt.

Wondering how to wear a belt bag? These three ways are all you need to know!

Option 2: Over the Shoulder

Here we go.  Belt Bag Outfits from the youngins.  Over the shoulder is potentially my favorite of all the outfit ideas.  It's easy (like a purse), but leaves the option of doing one of the other choices if or when it's easier.  This is usually my go to for a start of Disneyland day…..and I switch to the others on rides or when I get sick of it.

Belt bag outfits? These are the three ways to wear one!

Option 3: Crossbody

Going on rides? Or need your hands totally free? A crossbody option makes a ton of sense, plus you can easily access whatever is IN your fanny pack.  Not gonna lie, it took me a minute to figure out how to put mine on so that I could actually take things out of my bag and they didn't spill.  But once I angled it correctly? Worked a hundred percent.  You can wear in on your back, then just rotate to access as needed or wear it on your chest.  This is great with dresses or less loose options.

So what do you think? Have these belt bag outfits convinced you that a fanny pack is a must buy? This option from Able is ethically made, and super stylish.  It's definitely my top pick! Side note, they also make the BEST Golden Goose Dupes (who doesn't love an ethically made super stylish sneaker?!?)

Shop my favorite belt bag options:

From Disneyland outfits to a great staple travel piece (ideal for trips to Europe)…….I can't WAIT to see how you style your belt bag (let's just leave the 80s bangs in the last round of popularity, ok?!?)

✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
