23 Crossbody Bags We Don’t Want Leaving Our Side

Toss the totes to the side, say sayonara to your shoulder bags, and bid farewell to that overstuffed clutch — at least for now. Today, we're here to make a case for the crossbody bag. Arguably the most low-maintenance member of the purse family, the crossbody is a girl's best friend: It's hands-free, can be layered over just about any outfit, and still looks sleek and cool. And not to sound like your mom, but it's also ridiculously practical. Look ma, no hands!

Above all, though, our favorite thing about the crossbody has got to be its superhero-esque, shape-shifting quality. These bad boys come in just about every size, material, and silhouette imaginable. All they need is that characteristic long strap, and BAM!, we're in business. Ahead, we've rounded up 23 crossbody styles we would like to buy this minute — and just might.

Steve Madden Sami Platform Sandals

"I’ve been on the lookout for a ‘90s-esque platform sandal and this Steven Madden style is perfection. I love the chunky heel and that the thick upper strap looks to be a stretchy material for extra support and comfort. It’ll no doubt be a go-to for minimalistic springtime outfits." — Victoria Montalti, Associate Affiliate Writer

Natori Feathers Underwire Contour Bra

"For my everyday bra, I want something that is well-supported and feels amazing against the skin. Natori’s T-shirt bras are as comfy as they get, and I love the romantic lace detailing, and the fact that the straps are thicker as the bra sizes go up." — Venus Wong, Senior Travel Writer

"How chic is this mini satchel? (The answer: Very.) Between the equestrian vibes and gorgeous greige color, not only does this purse go with everything, but maybe it’ll inspire me to Marie Kondo my purse contents while I’m at it. (Also, my parents’ dog is named Hana, so, like, I need this, right?)" — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Sam Edelman Wanda Pointed Toe Flat

"I’m strictly against wearing heels for any reason; being low to the ground just suits me better (and makes it less likely I’ll fall and break an ankle for the umpteenth time). That’s why I’m eyeing these pointed toe Sam Edelman for the spring—the silhouette and color make them chic enough to wear to a more formal event, but they’re low-key enough that they won’t look out of place with a summer dress or pair of jeans." — Sarah Crow, Affiliate Director
