Ahead, we share our top picks based on durability, capacity, and looks.

Wed love a nylon strap option, instead of just leather for added durability.

When it comes to travel safety, this crossbody has thought of it all.

Price loves how sturdy it is while still looking polished and sophisticated.

Its supposed to be waterproof, but we think water-resistant is more accurate.

McBride is also a big fan of the built-in zip pocket where we store our keys and other necessities.

In editorSophie Mendel’sexperience, the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag truly lives up to its name.

It’s the priciest item on this list.

The zipper on the coin purse doesnt glide very smoothly.

WriterAsia London Palombadiscovered this crossbody that wont break the bank and pulls triple duty with its three-in-one design.

Its also deceptively spacious.

A micro-suede lining makes stains such as a lip gloss spill hard to clean.

Dont be fooled by the mini size of this crossbody bag.

Another fun feature is an adjustable shoulder strap that lets you carry the Mini Bowler as a shoulder bag.

The strap can be worn shorter, but we found it awkward to wear it that way.

If style is high up on your must-have list, Popp also recommends this crossbody bag from Cuyana.

you might tell from both the look and feel of this bag that it doesnt skimp on quality.

It can also be clipped onto backpacks to stay organized while traveling.

You have to purchase the crossbody strap separately.

The zipper closure could be smoother and is prone to snagging.

They even managed to fit a water bottle and an umbrella inside.

There may not be as roomy as a bag with just one main compartment.

This crossbody won over T+L editorTaylor Foxwith its durability and two main compartments that offer easy access to necessities.

And while perfectly travel-sized, this bag doesnt lack space.

Plus, an extra zip pocket on the outside takes the organization to another level.

We wish the main compartment opened up a little wider.

Its not only my go-to bag for traveling but also for everyday use.

We also considered qualities such as durability, organization, style, function, and weight.

Consider also looking for straps with padding or extrasoft material for added comfort.

Soft fabric bags may also pack down easier than structured bags when suitcase space is limited.

Many crossbody bags are designed to be worn as shoulder bags or belt bags, too.

We always suggest checking the airlines website for specific guidelines.

Crossbody bags are always in style for their comfortable fit and versatility.
