In my humble opinion, it’s pretty hard to beat a fanny pack when it comes to practicality (yes, I own six or seven of my own). “Gone are the days of bulky wallets and carrying around an entire vanity’s worth of makeup — a phone, card wallet, lip gloss, keys, and your mask — is all [you] need,” explains stylist Lauren Messiah. “Make it completely hands-free, and it’s a no-brainer.” This one, from Topo Designs — who makes some of our favorite outdoor gear, from backpacks to pants — is stylish enough to wear while running errands but tough enough to easily handle hikes and outdoor adventures. It features a top carry handle, an adjustable waist strap, and plenty of compartments to hold your daily essentials. Originally on sale for half-off at Urban Outfitters, right now you get an additional 40 percent discount taken off automatically at checkout, which brings the price down to just $30.
