Men’s crossbody / bum bags have grown to become one of the most popular bags to have in your collection. Popularised by streetwear enthusiasts, luxury and high street brands have taken advantage of the spike in popularity to create iterations of their own.
How do I style a men’s crossbody bag?
Styling is essential with the bum bag. The first and most famous way is wearing the bag at the front, over the right or left shoulder, clipped at the back. This style is perfect under outerwear or over a top, jumper or hoodie.
This way can also be reversed having the back resting on your back.
The second way to wear is grandma chic, having the fanny pack clipped at the waist.
The next way to wear a men’s bum bag is to have the bag clipped over one shoulder, allowing the bag to fall between your torso and your arm.
The final way is to have the bag at chest heigh hanging around your neck.
