Whether you're catching a flight or running errands on a random weekend, a crossbody bag is sure to give you peace of mind and comfort with whatever comes next. 

From quickly accessing your passport right before you approach security or grabbing your wallet as you walk up to the checkout counter, everything you need is easily accessible and your hands are free to grab your bagged items or luggage with ease.

To ensure that you're making the most sound crossbody bag purchase, we've put some of the most notable and viral options to the test and narrowed them down to this top six. From a waterproof leather option that's versatile enough for casual and formal wear to one that's slim yet deceivingly roomy on the inside, we've got you covered on the best crossbody bags to buy.

FAQs

What is the most popular crossbody bag right now?

The Lululemon Everywhere Crossbody is definitely the crossbody bag of the moment, and has been for some time. Almost as popular as the brand's iconic Everywhere Belt Bag, it's one of those social media-famous products that actually lives up to the hype.

Does a crossbody bag count as a personal item on a flight?

On most commercial flights, yes, your crossbody bag does count as your personal item bag. Some airlines like United, for example, note in their baggage policies that small purses or bags fall under the "personal item" category and should only be used in addition to a larger carry-on bag that must fit in the overhead compartment.
