Style influencer Aïda is also on team crossbody.
Let’s play a little game of Never Have I Ever, shall we? I’ll start: Never have I ever worn a tote bag. Not the juiciest of goss, I know, but hear me out. I’m a crossbody-bag girl through and through, and while I would like it to be purely down to the aesthetic of said bag style, it is in fact mainly due to pure laziness. If I can get away with not carrying shopping bags, carriers or any form of luggage, I will. But seeing as an everyday bag is almost essential, I have to give in to carrying something around with me, and this is why the hands-free crossbody works. Also, due to my urge to not carry things, I’m all for more compact styles that’ll hold my loose bank card, chewing gum, lipstick and my phone—if it will fit.
Crescent crossbody bags are so popular right now.
Every investment bag I own, from the Celine Trio to the Loewe Gate, has a crossbody strap, but something I love in any bag is a multi-strap—the ones I can transform into a clutch, shoulder bag or top-handle, just in case I ever want to mix it up. And when it comes to cool crossbody styles, every bag brand has them, from the now-famous COS bag (you know the one) to Bottega Veneta's Cassette style. As a little guide from a crossbody fan, these are the styles you can shop for every budgets.
1. The Best Crescent Crossbody Bags
This one has sold out and been restocked so many times.
It comes in other colours, too.
The banana bag from The Row is the perfect everyday style.
The 'croissant' bag will remind me to grab a pastry on the way to work.
This bag comes in so many colours but I'm drawn to white.
This leather version is so sleek.
2. The Best High Street Crossbody Bags
All about that chic woven style.
Crossbody bags don't have to be super small, this one is surprisingly roomy.
I'm also a big fan of the mini white version.
This is a classic design that will elevate your outfits.
Cream always feels so elevated.
Such a classic that'll go with any outfit. https://www.pntrac.com/t/8-12379-136414-199661?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mansurgavriel.com%2Fproducts%2Fmini-cloud-clutch-pearl
I love the contrasting leather and canvas look here.
3. The Best Investment Crossbody Bags
So luxe.
One of Loewe's most-loved bags.
The Marmont is a true classic.
Instantly recognisable.
A French-girl favourite.
4. The Best Mid-Range Crossbody Bags
You'll want to wear this with everything.
This is a perfect evening crossbody.
Tan is such a chic option that will work just as well for winter as it will for summer.
No one will believe this is under £400.
This feels fresh but still timeless.
5. The Best Mini Crossbody Bags
It'll elevate any outfit.
This isn't ridiculously mini.
You can still fit your phone in it.
Not the most practical, but who cares when it looks this cute?
It can barely fit a lippie in it, but it's still very cute.
Adorable.
Everyone loves a bit of Bottega.
