Key Features of Trendy Crossbody Bags
-
Adjustable straps. It wouldn’t be a crossbody bag without versatile straps. This allows you to customize the length of it the way you want, for style and added comfort. The best is when you can remove these straps, and convert the bag into a clutch. Why not?
-
Secure closure. Most of the time, you will be able to securely close this type of bag. There will either be zipped closures, magnetic snaps, or buckles to close the bag. Having one with both zips and snaps is pretty common too.
-
Multiple compartments. There could be pockets and slots on the inside as well as the outside, depending on the design of the bag. A zip compartment at the back of the bag is a nice sneaky way to store some of your extra belongings conveniently.
-
Quality materials. The more you spend, the higher the quality of the material will be, and therefore, it will be more durable. Depending on your budget, you could go with a body cross bag that comes in a range of materials. From leather to faux leather, to canvas, to cotton, poly cotton, and sustainable fabrics, the choice is all yours.
-
Details and design. There are so many types of design options to choose from, when it comes to choosing your fave bag. From plain to leather, to florals, to embroidery and studs, to so much more - you are bound to look fashionable. But no matter what design you choose, the convenient functionality of the bag will always be there. It is a cross-body bag, after all.
Styling Tips for Crossbody Bags
There are ways to style a crossbody bag - really? You just put it across your body, and off you go? Believe it or not, they can be styled in different ways, to suit your unique style and personality, and to fit any occasion.
Let’s quickly find out:
Behind-the-back. Who says you can’t throw your bag around your shoulder, and toss it back behind your elbow? This will give you a cool or laidback look, and will look great, especially for commuting around town.
Right-out-front. This is perfect for tourists, or anyone who needs to access their belongings super quick, and needs some extra safety. Only possible with adjustable straps, just adjust it to make the strap shorter, so it can fit nicely around your waist.
Waist bag. An all-time favorite is to wear your bag by your waist. It’s totally classic, practical, and simplistic. Simply pull the strap around your waist and let the bag sit under your belly, facing forward. It’s another safer option for you to carry your important belongings.
Hang low and loose. For a more laid-back or casual look, you can adjust the strap to make the bag loose and low. This looks super good with baggy clothing, or goes well with a low coat.
Tight and high up. Ideal for any type of athletic activity, is to pull up your crossbody bag high up, and tighten the straps. This way, your crossbody bag can sit just below the chest or on the ribs. So when you’re hiking, for instance, the bag will be out of your way, and your items will be easily accessible. You’ll also get the cool sporty look, if you’re into fashion attire or street fashion especially.
