This is how to make fanny packs cool for guys in the 2nd decade of the 2nd millennium?

Make it into a satchel

 

[scorpmatt]

it's still ugly worn either way

Dude wouldn't need to carry a purse if he didn't wear women's jeans that are too tight to use the pockets.

 

[WelshBloke]

Messenger bag, rucksack or pockets depending on how much you need to carry!

 

[brianmanahan]

better not call it that in austraya

 

[BudAshes]

I don't need to hear about what you like packed into your fanny

 

[MrSquished]

Slings are super useful, especially with mass transit being respectable around here. I'll bring along my bluetooth earbuds, my compact camera g5x mk ii, a 10,000 mah battery pack, my reading glasses, sunglasses case, eye drops, cleaning cloth, and a couple other things. Plus I can throw in other stuff that's more situational, like a small umbrella, a small water bottle, my kindle, etc...

Have 5 of them but my two most used ones are the COB X-Pod and the Tom Bihn Small Cafe. Why carry a backback when a smaller bag will do?

ha. I thought that was gonna be an Alchy post.

I don't wear skinny jeans or skinny anything. All my jeans are a regular or boot cut. I don't wear jeans as much anymore. I wear mostly slim fit and some regular fit pants. The guy in the OP photo is certainly not wearing tight or skinny anything pants though.

Purse.

Nope.

[MrSquished]

It's a European carry all! What? A European carry all? You mean a purse? YES YES IT'S A PURSE!

 

[MrSquished]

Purse.

Nope.

That's a woman with a floral print purse. Why does this bother you? Do you like more tomgirls? Not like there is anything wrong with that.

 

[Stiff Clamp]

I feel like someone challenged a fashion designer, back in . . . 2011 . . . to make mom jeans, hawaiian shirts, and fanny packs stylish again. Challenge was accepted. And here we are.

Do it Wookie style

never noticed the bag before. (it's camouflaged into his fur)
always thought it was an ammo belt?

After 40+ yrs, this is the 2nd new thing from the original series i learned this year.
(the first was that Leia kissed Luke twice. 2nd time was after Vader chopped of his...)

For Europe a purse (bourse/Börse) is strictly for money, it's a small leather pouch that was bound to your belt by the strips used to close it for safekeeping of your money, hence cut-purse since they literally had to cut the purse from the belt to get the money, or cut into the bag if it was made out of cheaper material.
The same word is still used for the stock exchange as well as for wallets to this day.
What you (plural) call a purse is called handbag in europe.

Has nothing to do with Tomgirls, lol.
It has to do with men (Femboy / Femboi) carrying a purse. Just too weird for my old fashioned ass.

Use this instead:

If you don't like them don't wear them, that's the whole point. But the photo you posted was of a woman carrying a small bag, so I was confused.

Most slings, from the smallest to the larger ones, for men, are generally black, gray, green, blue or multicam. If someone is not comfortable enough with their manhood to wear one, by all means don't. But ultimately, it has zero to do with your manhood if you do use one. It's just old school gender stereotypes that drag us down. This is not a huge one obviously, but add all the little ones together, and they do turn into a problem.

Any fanny pack goes if it is combined with an ammo belt.
