International Fanny Pack Day is finally here, and we couldn't be more excited to celebrate this iconic accessory that has made a comeback in recent years! With its practicality and style, the fanny pack has become a staple in many wardrobes, and we're here to give you a bit of history on this beloved accessory.

The fanny pack first gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, when it was commonly worn by tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. It was the perfect accessory for holding small essentials such as keys, wallets, and phones, while also providing easy access to them. However, in the early 2000s, the fanny pack fell out of favor and was considered outdated and unfashionable.

But with the rise of retro and vintage fashion, the fanny pack has made a comeback in recent years. Today, it is a popular accessory among fashion lovers and is available in a wide range of styles, materials, and colors.

At Talking Fashion, we are proud to offer a curated selection of vintage fanny packs that are not only stylish but also functional, some inconventional like the one pictured (pouch to slide a belt).

Whether you're looking for a bold and colorful design or a classic leather style, we've got you covered. Fanny packs are not only fashionable but also practical, providing you with easy access to all your essentials.

So what are you waiting for? Shop now and join us in celebrating the iconic fanny pack on this special day!

By Paige McKirahan

 

As the biggest party of the year is looming towards us at a rapid rate, panic surrounding finding the perfect New Years Eve outfit is rising. With a year as fabulous as 2018 coming to a close, it is only appropriate that we look just as fabulous as we bid it goodbye and step into the last year of this decade. Though some people tend to rely on their clothing itself to provide them with their NYE glam, we here at TalkingFashion think that this year’s make or break pieces will lie in one’s accessories. Not only can you completely transform a clothing piece with jewelry and other fun additions, you can also create a complete, cohesive outfit that stuns from head to toe!

 

 

Accessories can emulate more vibes and attitudes than just clothing alone, which makes them an integral part of a party outfit for all types of fashionista! From minimalists to haute couture connoisseurs, accessorizing can elevate a look from basic to Times Square chic.

Personalize that classic piece by adding everything from a head scarf to a dazzling bracelet to allow your personality to shine as bright as the Times Square Ball! You’ll be the talk of every party with your expertly curated style; if you are lost on how to create your perfect look, we are here to help!
