So long as you wear it behind you. Any deviation from that will cause it to look like a jockstrap :)

Haha...I use to have a professor who wore a fanny pack ALL of the time. He was about 70 years old, and looked like a real dork with that fanny pack.

Your only option at this point is suicide.

I will not I repeat WILL NOT assosiate with people who wear sweatpants in a public day to day basis, im adding fanny packs to that list. As for mullets, I dont even need to say anything about that.

Hey

I like my fanny pack. i've been using it for a couple of months now. it's really convenient.

i haven't been wearing it tho, i've just been carrying it around, kind of a cop out i guess. it's just to big and bulky to wear around.

but i figure this is good training for me, cause eventually i'm gonna stop carrying the fanny pack around and start carrying my briefcase around.

oh well. so the fanny pack experiment didn't really work out i guess. :)

That's exactly how i wear a fannypack (when i did).

you mean wear it over your shoulder?

Over the shoulder, and across the chest... so the fanny pack is either on my chest or under my armpit... it's loose though. Like how one would wear a messenger pack.

That is called a purse.

Not particularly, but I wouldn't ever wear one.

You need a tight Fanny to wear one properly. I think they look quite ghay. But there was one that was more of a backpack. It had side water jug holders. It was huge so I don't think you could count it as a fanny pack since you couldn't coordinate it with your outfit. ;)

Yeah they look stupid. If a woman has one I'm looking to see where her kids are and if a guy has one I'm looking to see where his boyfriend is.
