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.

Natori Feathers Underwire Contour Bra

Alice + Olivia Wide Leg Faux Leather Pants

"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*

Florals Are Trending For Spring & They’re Actually Groundbreaking

Flowers are perhaps spring’s biggest symbol, and for fashion designers, it often means slapping a couple of floral prints onto their collections to channel the season’s blooming feeling. But spring 2023‘s floral details are looking a tad more complex, with 3D flowers making their way from our gardens to the red carpet and beyond.

Take, for example, Nicole Kidman, who sported a black sequined Armani Privé gown featuring two oversized rosettes at the 2023 Academy Awards. While Zendaya wore a light pink Valentino gown with small rosettes cascading from the hips to the train at the SAG Awards. Other celebrities like Winnie Harlow, who wore a rose-colored gown with giant flowers on the cuffs from Giambattista Valli Couture, and Iris Apatow, who stepped out in a copper, sequinned dress adorned with 3D flowers by Colin LoCascio, endorsed the trend at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party earlier this month.

By now, I’m sure you’re quoting a certain stern, fictional editor-in-chief of Runway, and I get it. Flowers for spring are not groundbreaking. But 3D flowers are, and if celeb sightings are not enough, the spring 2023 runways are sure to convince you.

Throughout the collections, bodies seemed to blend with nature, and vice versa. Loewe, for example, showed a slew of tops and dresses featuring life-like anthurium flowers in red, white, and green shades. The centerpiece of one dress was a giant anthurium flower bodice, while another put a spin on the strapless silhouette with two anthuriums as nipple covers. New York-based label Collina Strada opted for abstract roses on bralettes, while Jason Rembert’s Aliétte went for a string of rosette details on an A-line green gown. At Markarian, nature grew out of a model via a strap of flowers and leaves strung on the arm, paired with a light blue, strapless midi dress.

While floral embellishments are nothing new, designers have made an effort to go past the wedding-ready appliqués all the way to avant garde propositions. And thankfully, the statement-making styles are easy to wear. Take a cue from Loewe, where the eye-catching anthurium flowers were styled with minimal skirts. In a similar vein, model Emily Ratajkowski wore one of the floral Loewe tops with straight-leg trousers to the brand’s show earlier this month. But if the “Weird Girl” aesthetic is your thing, Collina Strada offers an alternative: go for bold flower-shaped bralettes, layering printed dresses and blue jeans underneath. There’s also the option to go full Poison Ivy (or rather, Poison Rose?) like Markarian, using craft store flower strings as accessories.

Whatever the style, make it groundbreaking. Or, just let the flowers do the work for you.
