Double Tap to Zoom

There was a time not too long ago when wearing a "man bag" was considered such a garish fashion choice that laughing at Joey wearing one made up the entire plot for an episode of Friends. However, the universal appreciation of bags in menswear that has since taken place makes that dark time nothing more than a distant memory.

Now, leaving the house without some form of luggage, whether that be a tote, backpack, or crossbody bag, feels like something is missing.

Of all the options, crossbody bags are best for when you have a few too many things to carry for pockets to cut it and don't want to wear a bulky backpack. But let's not kid ourselves, it's as much a stylistic choice as it is a practical one (countless times I've left the house with an empty crossbody bag just because it added the perfect finishing touch to an outfit).

From technical nylon side bags to luxury luggage, we've rounded up our favorite crossbody bags on the market. Whether it be for travel, going to a festival, or just an everyday look, these accessories are about to make carrying your possessions a heck of a lot easier — and more stylish.
