Carry-all totes and teeny-tiny evening clutches have their well-earned places in our wardrobes, but it’s the crossbody bag we find ourselves reaching for most.
The perfect balance of practicality—hello, hands-free liberation—and style, the crossbody bag proves both chic and versatile.
Our go-to when looking for the perfect travel companion and everyday accessory, many crossbody bags can go from day to night thanks to multiple straps—a long shoulder strap to throw over on the run and shorter chain or top handle for elevated evening events.
If you’re rightly wanting to invest in such a style, look no further, we’ve found the best crossbody bags below.

Are Crossbody Bags Still In Style?
While the style set appear to be gravitating more toward shoulder and top handle bags of late, crossbody bags are still very much en vogue.
In fact, many popular shoulder bag styles come with additional or adjustable straps to change the shape and function of the bag.
There’s also the matter of practicality that makes the crossbody bag a timeless choice; freeing up both hands for errands it’s the ideal everyday bag or travel companion.
