The spacious belt bag, which has two internal zip pockets, is the perfect everyday accessory for casual activities, such as running errands, going to the gym, and heading to brunch. It's also a great option for travel, as it has a hidden back-zip pocket where you can stow your passport, wallet, and/or phone.

If you're worried that the size is a bit bigger than you'd like, know that the brand just released its Luka Mini Belt Bag, as well as the Luka Key Pouch, which is designed to loop or hook onto the strap of the belt bag, and is the perfect size for keys, AirPods, lip balm, or doggie bags. One more thing: It's part of the overall Luka collection, so if you like to match your bags for travel, it pairs perfectly with the Luka Duffel, Luka Laptop Backpack, and Luka Toiletry Bag.

The Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag is one of the most popular fanny packs on the market, but it's a bit smaller in size.

The Dagne Dover Ace Water Resistant Belt Bag stands apart with its unique neoprene fabric. It's adored for its organized design, which features an exterior front zip pocket, exterior back slip pocket (ideal for holding cards), and interior card pocket, lipgloss loop, and key ring.

The Herschel Seventeen Waist Pack, which is 13" W x 6.5" H x 3.5" D, is the classic fanny pack silhouette. It has one large main compartment with a small zip compartment on the front.

If you're going to a festival or simply like funky prints over plain colors, the Kavu Spectator Belt Bag, which is 9" W by 5" H, is your best bet. The small ovular fanny pack has a 2-way zip pain compartment and single zip, full-width front compartment.
