For him, the start of the 2018 season promises to be under the best auspices. Indeed, the banana bag will be one of the most prominent accessories at the end of the year. Very fashionable in the 90s, it totally fell into oblivion in the early 2000s. But today, creators find him of interest. For my part, I do not see which one! I will still tell you which to choose to avoid the lack of taste.
The high-end banana bag
The big names in leather goods have always worked on it. Often guaranteeing good taste and tradition, they could not put it aside. I advise you to choose from the following brands: Louis Vuitton, Lancel or Longchamp. These are references in the work of leather or coated canvas.
We can add to this list. But make no mistake, I do not put this last mark on the same level as the first three. Nevertheless, it must be recognized, the crocodile has always kept the banana bag in its various collections.
With this kind of model, one can not neglect his outfit. I advise you to bet on a look "dandy new generation" : chino trousers with a hem that reveals the ankle, a pair of bright colored loafers, a floral print shirt and a blazer on the top, a little detail for the banana bag: you can not pass it in the passers-by pants and especially, it is shifted on the right or left. Better is not to wear it in front, it's a little too much camping holidays!
The sporty banana bag
The banana bag is very practical during a hike or other walks in the woods. We must recognize this quality. Of course, you can turn to the big sports brands. Their products in their own name are of very good quality and their design becomes more and urbaner. Unfortunately not yet enough to wear them in a citywear style outfit.
The belly fanny pack can, however, integrate into your look. Classic, these bags are reminiscent of the incomparable backpack that has contributed to the reputation of the brand. A safe bet, therefore! But for those who want a style a little more sought after, it is the Heritage line of the brand, more vintage inspiration, that will lead you.
The vintage banana bag
You can also opt for a more retro model. We had a little crush on this banana bag found on our website. The fact of being leather and rectangular shape makes it original and allows it to distinguish itself elegantly compared to others.
This retro banana bag can blend into an adventurer-inspired outfit: faded jeans with holes, a logger-style check shirt or animal prints, a neoprene mid-season jacket or technical material (to keep the sports side). And of course, the banana bag that is worn on the side and still not passed in passersby. It does not change!
Models to avoid
With its rebirth, the belly fanny pack brings with it models that would have been better left in the dustbin of fashion. To put in this category, the leopard print or zebra. The bad taste par excellence as rainforest print. The banana bag must remain simple and clean to avoid falling into ridicule or, conversely, into too sharp. I advise you to bet on basic models, plain or two-colored.
I also advise against betting on big square or rectangular models. We stay on small and fairly flat bags (round, square or rectangular). It is essential to avoid large volumes on the belt. The banana bag must be discreet and blend in with your look. So we forget very quickly the purchase of the "daddy model" with its thousands of outer and inner pockets that weigh down the bag and therefore your figure. You create a volume in your lap belt. If you are slender, it does not matter (and again, it may seem disproportionate). But if you have a little belly, these models too large will accentuate and highlight this little detail.
