How to choose the right crossbody bag?

First and foremost, it's important to choose the right size and shape of the crossbody bag to suit your needs and body type. A larger crossbody bag can be great for carrying more essentials, but it may overwhelm a petite frame. Conversely, a smaller bag may not be practical for carrying all your belongings, but it can be a chic and minimalist option for those who only need the essentials.

How to style your crossbody bag?

When it comes to styling a crossbody bag, it's important to consider the occasion and the overall vibe of the outfit. Here are some style tips for pairing a crossbody bag with different outfits:

1. How to wear a crossbody bag with casual outfits

A crossbody bag can be the perfect finishing touch to a casual outfit. Pair a smaller crossbody bag with a simple t-shirt and jeans for a classic and effortless look. Alternatively, a larger crossbody bag can be great for carrying essentials like a water bottle and snacks on a day trip. Pair a larger bag with a cute sundress and sandals for a chic and practical summer outfit. Try this with our Ivy Curved Handle Bag

2. With formal outfits

While crossbody bags are often associated with casual outfits, they can also be styled with formal wear for a chic and functional look. A smaller, more structured crossbody bag can be paired with a sleek cocktail dress and heels for a modern take on a classic look. Alternatively, a larger crossbody bag can be paired with a jumpsuit or pantsuit for a stylish and practical outfit for a night out. We love our Rikki Quilted Velvet Clutch for evening looks.

3. For the office

A crossbody bag can be a great option for a work bag, as it allows you to keep your hands free while carrying essentials like a laptop and notebook. Opt for a more structured and professional-looking bag in a neutral color like black or brown. Pair it with a tailored blazer, trousers, and loafers for a chic and practical work outfit. Try the striking Nadia Top Handle Bag in green which comes with a longer chain to wear crossbody.

A crossbody bag can be the perfect accessory for a weekend outfit, whether you're running errands or going out with friends. Pair a larger crossbody bag with a cozy sweater, leggings, and sneakers for a comfortable and practical outfit for a day of shopping or brunch. Alternatively, pair a smaller crossbody bag with a cute skirt and ankle boots for a chic and stylish outfit for a night out. We adore the Jorja Convertible Bag for nights out with friends.
