One unfortunate trend of the 1990's was the fanny pack. The fanny pack is a small fabric pouch secured with a zipper worn at the waist, by a strap around the hips or waist. It has become known as the "fanny pack" because it is known to be worn around the back, right above the fanny. Despite the name most people do not wear them in the back because it is easier to be pickpocketed and harder to access. Fanny packs are used mostly by travelers, and gained their popularity in the 1990's. The advangtage of the fanny pack is that it is hands-free making it a useful item for travelers, a great choice over a purse. However today, fanny packs are considered out of fashion in many countries and are mocked. They are known as a key sign of an out-of-country tourist. This is one fashion trend that I am glad went out of style and has mostly stayed out of style.
