Most men tend to carry all of their necessities in the pockets of their. This oftentimes destroys the look and fit of the pants you might be wearing. We show you the best belt bags for men that will solve that issue and elevate your look on top of that.

What is a Belt Bag?

A belt bag, also known as a waist bag, fanny pack, or bum bag (as the Brits might say), is a small bag that is worn around the waist or hips, secured with a belt or strap. It is designed to be worn hands-free and provides a convenient way to carry small personal items such as wallets, keys, phones, and other essentials. While your dad might have worn it like an actual belt, it is more common now to wear them cross-body.

This is a whole new twist on the classic belt bag. The futuristic design of the French designer is something out of the ordinary. The bag is designed in a rectangle shape that zips open at the side and top of the bag. Almost hidden, the placed the brand logo right above the side zipper. We think this could be the male equivalent of the Loewe puzzle bag. As a trendsetter, you should definitely check out this bag.

We already mentioned this bag before in our Street Style article, but also had to put it into our guide on belt bags. Diesel has been around for a while, but came back with a bang this season. They redid their branding to fit into the Y2K style. Ever since, it is the new brand to look out for, whether we are looking at women’s or men’s fashion. This bag especially is the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe, if your looking for a stylish yet practical bag. The faux leather makes it durable and is also great for the animals.

4. The basic luxury Jacquemus Belt Bag

For all the quiet luxury guys out there, we have brought this bag to you. This minimalistic and toned down bag is what people search for when they want a bag that is just that. Nevertheless, this quite basic bag is top-notch in its category. While Jacquemus is famous for their tiny women’s bags, that won’t even fit your phone, this is a more practical piece of them. The cream-colored strap gives it a lightness, contrasting the boxy shape of the bag’s body. We absolutely adore this bag.

5. The sporty Belt Bag
