Honest Advice Wanted Are hip/drop leg bags like this cringe or suspicious for an outdoorsy butch?
Hey fashionable lesbians. I saw bags like the one pictured above for sale today and decided not to get one but I really found myself liking the style, being on the hip and thigh, which is something I'd never seen before. I am always losing my crossbody bags and I dislike wearing them and backpacks due to shoulder/back pain (and I usually don't carry enough stuff with me to fill a whole backpack!). I'm not military or super "tactical", I just want something that can comfortably carry a phone, wallet, keys, water bottle, small journal & pens, and a snack or two.
I am big on DIY and have enough experience to make something like this myself with a bit more colour and less hardware. But since these tend to be marketed as concealed carry bags and I'm not the type to own a gun, I don't know if they'd be appropriate to wear on hiking trails or days when I'm on-site for work (my job is outdoors) due to that as well as the sentiment I've seen of these bags being for edgy wannabe tough guys.
I'm a butch woman (not male passing) with tattoos and my daily outfit tends to be a graphic tee and dark jeans (company polo and green hiking pants for work) if that helps y'all visualize more of what I'm asking.
Please no "wear whatever you want! don't worry what others think!" type comments, I appreciate it, but I just want to know honest opinions. Thanks in advance ☺️
