Fanny packs are still cool. Here’s how you should wear them

Fanny pack, hip pack, shoulder bag, sling bag, waist bag or the Czech “ledvinka” - this accessory has so many names.

But I think he didn’t imagine he’d be the start of a global fashion phenomenon and a must-have accessory in every wardrobe - the baseball cap.
