There's nothing more annoying than the feeling of your shoulder bag or tote bag slipping off your winter jacket. And yet, it's a problem that we can't seem to escape! If you're fed up with that uncomfortable feeling but don't want to sacrifice that extra tube of lip gloss that just won't fit in your pocket, might we suggest a crossbody bag?

The best crossbody bags allow you to enter "hands-free mode" as their adjustable straps give you the freedom to wear your bag on your hip or around your chest. That means you can flip through racks of clothing, walk through a crowd without worry, or go for a run without the added bulk. Yes, crossbody bags aren't a new concept (anyone remember fanny packs from the '80s?), but that doesn't mean you can't treat yourself to a new bag that can fit your wallet, phone, makeup, keys, hand sanitizer, and so much much more!

When you have a good crossbody bag, you'll never be alone, as they make the best companion for so many occasions. Clutches with detachable crossbody straps and chains are your best friend for a night out, while water-resistant belt bags make the best gym and travel buddy. Either way, having a crossbody bag made of high-quality, lightweight materials that has a plethora of pockets and zipper pouches for organization is a must. And the fun colors, materials, shapes, and straps they come with are a plus! Shop the best crossbody bags below to find your perfect everyday companion that's as functional as it is chic!

Everywhere Belt Bag

This bestselling belt bag is an all-time favorite of Alex Drummond, and for good reason. It has so many compartments to hold all your essentials while still maintaining a compact size that won't weigh you down when you're on the go. Plus, the water-repellant fabric is so easy to clean.

The Frankie Clutch

This statement-making bag will be your favorite night-out companion. The woven faux leather purse is big enough to fit your wallet, phone, and not just one but all of your favorite lip products. The two-in-one crossbody clutch comes with two 21-inch interchangeable crossbody straps: a casual leather option and a dressy chain strap.

Quilted Tote Bag

This trendy quilted tote is as cute as it is functional. The bag is large enough to fit a laptop and made of durable nylon, so you won’t have to worry about spills or leaks when taking it to the gym or on trips. And unlike a typical tote bag that digs into your shoulder, it has a widened strap that reduces the pressure on the shoulder and is long enough to be worn as a crossbody.

The Carabiner Leather Crossbody Bag Medium

This deceivingly compact crossbody is made of flexible Italian leather that can fit all of your must-have essentials—and then some. The bag features customizable carabiner hardware, allowing the strap to be easily adjusted and completely removable. Plus, it comes in Ree's favorite color, teal!

The Pioneer Woman Tooled Faux Leather Camera Bag

A tooled floral motif and chic hardware make this crossbody irresistibly cute. The spacious camera bag with two top-entry compartments is big enough to hold all your essentials. You can even remove the adjustable strap and make it a clutch to take your look from day to night!

Woven Leather Puff Crossbody

This chic, woven leather crossbody bag is made with Madewell's signature super-soft leather. The purse features a convenient zip-top closure and interior slip pocket. Plus, the adjustable strap can be easily removed, so it doubles as a clutch!

All Night Festival Bag Micro 2L

If you’re still not on board with the fanny pack resurgence, the All Night Festival Bag is a more elevated option that's still great for everyday use. The bag looks more like a traditional crossbody purse while still having the traits of the classic belt bag — like the water-repellent fabric and easy access compartments — that make it great for on the go. It also comes in a 5L size for the maximalist who needs a bit more than just a wallet and chapstick to leave the house.

Woven Crossbody Bag

With its shiny gold hardware and chic woven material, this budget-friendly crossbody will be your new go-to vacation bag. It's simple enough to wear with everything, while the fun details serve to elevate a basic outfit with little to no effort.

Velvet Crossbody Wallet

Why put your wallet in a bag when you can wear it as a bag? This luscious, velvet wallet-on-a-chain includes one adjustable, removable crossbody strap and one removable chain. Plus, you can leave your compact at home when you're strapped with this bag, as it has a built in mirror perfect for all your touch-up needs.

The Pioneer Woman Josie Medium Crossbody with Guitar Strap

With a stunning floral guitar strap and gorgeous gold detailing, this purse proves that your everyday bag doesn't have to be boring to be functional. Reviewers say that the high-quality features, like the durable faux leather, sturdy zippers, and spacious pockets, make this bag feel way more expensive than it is!

Coach Tabby Messenger 19 With Braid

The iconic Coach Tabby bag just got an upgrade, and your bag collection should, too! The crossbody version of the classic features a wide, adjustable strap and stunning hand-braided leather trim. The bag's petite size makes it great for running errands as you can fit a card case, lip balm, iPhone, and more within the secure interior snap and zip pockets as well as the outside pocket.

Quilted Sling Bag

This sporty-chic sling bag will be your new favorite adventure companion. It has an adjustable strap made of the same lightweight, quilted material as the rest of the bag and a zip closure that will keep your keys, lip balm, and water secure for the gym and beyond.

The Essential Mini Bucket Tote

For a slightly larger crossbody that can fit the essentials for any adventure — and anything you pick up along the way — check out this option. It's made of soft leather with a magnetic closure and interior pocket. A gorgeous gold buckle on the side of the bag allows the strap to be adjustable, so you can wear it as a crossbody or shoulder bag, depending on your vibe.

AllSaints Half Moon Leather Crossbody Bag

Everyone needs a simple, everyday bag you can throw on with any outfit and fit all your miscellaneous things in. This secure leather option is perfect, featuring an adjustable crossbody strap, interior zip pocket, and two card slots. Plus, the crescent moon shape of the bag is so unique!
