Forget the cute but impractical micro bags you’ve seen all over the internet – the new must-have bag is all about practicality. Just as the name suggests, crossbody phone bags are made to be small enough to hold your phone in crossbody form. But what makes them all the more functional is that many of them have handy pockets to hold your cash, credit cards and more, making them the best crossbody bags for everyday use. They’re really a game changer for when you need to get up and go, but don’t need an entire bag to carry around with you, and are the ideal addition to the best festival outfit.
Given their appeal, there are no shortage of designs to choose from on the market. The long, crossbody styles mean that you can go hands-free. Plus, with no need to hold your bag or worry about forgetting it once you’re sitting down at a bar or restaurant, it’s an easy way to uplift your look. Just ask Taylor Swift, who was spotted in a black Bandolier crossbody phone bag on numerous occasions, proving its celeb status.
From mini crossbody phone bags to leather crossbody phone bags and designer crossbody phone bags, you’ll find all of the cutest crossbody bags to shop below. Whatever your budget or style, our edit has the best bags to suit.
