A crossbody bag is a staple for any wardrobe, no matter the season and regardless of how you identify. With so many people wanting to pack lighter or go about their days hands-free, crossbody bags are, without a doubt, a summer favorite that will never go out of style.
While it's definitely convenient that there are so many options to choose from, it's also a bit of a detriment, as it's hard for most folks to commit to a bag they know they'll love for years and years.

And for those who want an elegant option they can rock to a boat party or out to dinner, the sleek Paravel Crossbody Capsule is definitely the one to get. It's even customizable!
Keep scrolling to check out each pick in more detail. We've also included photos of them being worn, so you'll know exactly how they'll look on you.
1. Best Minimal Pick: Dagne Dover Micah Crossbody, $89-$110
This one is super lightweight and is the perfect everyday bag that goes with everything in your closet. Its water-resistant neoprene fabric also makes it handy for use in the rain to keep your items dry.
The Dagne Dover Micah Crossbody comes in nine colors — six core and three seasonal, including the gorgeous new Rye hue (pictured top left).
2. Most Affordable: Nike Unisex Heritage Crossbody Bag, $36.88
Dubbed an alternative to the classic hip pack style, the best-selling Nike Heritage Crossbody Bag is the perfect versatile option to wear all year round. In addition to looking stylish and minimal, it's packed with built-in storage to keep all of your belongings organized while you're out and about.
This one comes in three colors: Black, Light Madder Root and Mystic Navy.
3. Top Compact Pick: Dagne Dover Mara Phone Sling, $59 - $75
f you’re the ultimate minimalist and just need something to carry your phone, lip balm, keys and maybe some cash/cards, you’ll absolutely love the Dagne Dover Mara Phone Sling.
Made to carry the essentials, this is the perfect hands-free option for festival season and commuting on public transit in the summertime. Choose from seven colors, and watch this become the bag you reach for the most.
4. Most Elegant: Paravel Crossbody Capsule, $265 – $275
This is one of my all-time favorites. The Paravel Crossbody Capsule is one of the most versatile picks on this list. It pairs perfectly with jeans and a T-shirt, a little black dress or a suit for that perfect modern edge.
Its crush-proof canister design sets it apart from the standard crossbodies you’ll see everyone wearing, and when you remove the strap, it transforms into the perfect handheld bag.
Also, the two canvas options (scout tan and domino black) are customizable with a monogram of your choice.
5. Best Deal: Coach Hudson Crossbody In Natural Pebble Leather, $159.20 (Orig. $398)
Deals on luxury brands don't come around often, and when they do, it's usually the items no one wants that are marked down. But Coach Outlet is one of the few destinations offering deals on in-season items, and this Coach Hudson Crossbody In Natural Pebble Leather is proof.
Currently 60% off, this well-made luxury crossbody features natural pebble leather and has inside zip and multifunctional pockets with a zip closure. It's also fabric-lined and has an adjustable strap with a 25-inch drop for shoulder or crossbody wear.
Choose from two stunning colors: Gunmetal/black and Gunmetal/Saddle.
6. Top Pick For iPhones: Bandolier Billie Utility Crossbody With Case, $228
This sleek crossbody phone case supports several iPhone models, ranging from the 11 Pro Max to the 14 Pro Max and features a leather iPhone wallet case with a multi-pocketed, adjustable utility strap with three distinct compartments for additional storage. It also has gold details and extra space, making it the perfect crossbody for running errands or attending your favorite concert.
The Bandolier Billie Utility Crossbody With Case also comes in four additional colors.
7. Best Waterproof Pick: Rains Box Bag, $110
Designed to wear over the shoulder, across the body or as a handbag, the completely waterproof Rains Box Bag is both functional and stylish. It's the perfect size for carrying daily essentials. If you'd rather have a slightly smaller size, the Rains Box Bag Micro is the perfect pick!
8. Best Sling: Troubadour Sling, $95
These usually rest across the chest and stay closer to your body. This way, they're much more secure and, in many cases, let you store more given their slightly larger pouch sizes.
The Troubadour Sling is the best I've found as it checks all the boxes and then some. It's lightweight and waterproof and has a roomy main compartment for storing daily essentials. The main compartment is so spacious that it easily fits a water bottle and an iPad Mini.
It's also padded to protect your items and, if you have more or fewer things to store, it expands and contracts, so you'll never have to walk around with bulk on your chest.
9. Trendiest Option: Dagne Dover Kitty Puff Crossbody, $115
This bag subtly adopts the unique style of a puffer jacket throughout its strap and body without being over-the-top or exaggerated. Like all Dagne Dover crossbody bags, the Kitty is fully adjustable and has a removable strap. It also keeps your essentials safe and snug, thanks to its hidden magnetic closures and interior zip compartments.
This unique bag comes in three stunning colors that are still in stock. Two older colors (Onyx and Dark Moss have been discontinued).
10. Best Two-In-One Pick: Coach Charter North/South Crossbody With Hybrid Pouch, $295
The two-in-one silhouette features a roomy North/South-style crossbody bag and a detachable zip pouch that snaps into the strap. If you don’t feel like carrying both, simply unsnap the pouch and slip it into the other bag, or clip it to a belt loop.
11. Best Luxury Option: Gucci Beige GG Supreme Ophidia Messenger Bag, $870
This Gucci crossbody bag has the gold GG logo plaque, the brand’s well-known logo pattern in brown throughout and an adjustable leather strap.
Adding to its full-on luxury design, this bag features leather trim, press-stud fastening and the designer’s signature striped webbing in red and green on the front and back face. Inside, you’ll find three card slots and surprisingly roomy space for additional items.
