Metallics: This particular Instagram shot combines the look of a grey metallic leather fanny pack with a simple, neutral summer outfit. We are liking the pairing of this lightweight white blouse and distressed light wash denim shorts, which offer an edgy yet laidback feel.

Leather: Classic leather never goes out of style, and can take your everyday summer outfit to entirely new heights. This cropped blue and white pinstriped blouse looks great with a matching midi skirt, and a black leather fanny pack.

Bright white: Try contrasting your summer tan with a white fanny pack, which can easily be worn with denim (as spotted here). The short shorts, miniature sunglasses and white sneakers play up the bright ivory colour of the fanny pack for an added effect.
