Wearing Fanny Packs Abroad

Interestingly, fanny packs are not commonly worn in the United States. However, when Americans travel abroad, these bags tend to become an integral part of their outfit. Perhaps it’s the travel advice articles emphasizing the need to safeguard valuables that contribute to this trend. Fanny packs appear to have made a resurgence for some reason, even though the rationale behind it remains somewhat unclear.
