The smaller but equally classic version of Madewell's signature Transport tote is the ideal bag to wear over your shoulder for a day of sightseeing. It goes with every outfit, and it's a bag that we've recommended over and over again for its timeless look and practicality. Another major plus: For how well this lasts, it's at a great price point—delivering the longevity of a high-end bag without the hefty price tag.

Coach Polished Pebble leather crossbody

Coach stepped up its game the last few years with new sleek designs on its classic silhouettes. One popular favorite is its pebbled leather shoulder bag that doubles as a crossbody. Wear it as a crossbody during the day for a casual yet elevated look or take the adjustable strap off and you have an elegant shoulder bag for a dinner date. Versatile bags like this are perfect for quick trips when you're only packing one purse to wear with every outfit.

Cuyana Double Moon Saddle bag

A newer style from Cuyana is its Double Moon saddle bag. Made of Italian leather, this is an ideal bag for vacation: smart, stylish, and spacious enough to store everything you need while exploring a new city center. In addition to its two main compartments, it also features a back slip pocket and a magnetic closure. This neutral color will match just about everything you pack.

Yves Saint Laurent Lou Mini Matelassé leather camera bag

Some occasions call for something a little more special than your everyday crossbody—and YSL's take on the camera bag is an elegant affair. It's crafted with calfskin in a matelassé chevron pattern, and has a wide open interior with an interior side pocket. The designer bag is made in Italy and is available in eight shades.

Paravel Small Cabana Tote

Clare V. Moyen messenger bag

Soft, slouchy, and spacious, this is another one of our go-to's. Versatility is always a consideration when you're packing, so we love that this works as a cute crossbody or a shoulder bag (there's a strap option for each). The chambray-lined interior of the bag has no inner compartments but plenty of open space.

Tory Burch Mercer Pebbled zip crossbody bag

This simple, cream-colored crossbody from Tory Burch is a great bag for day or night. Its slim yet surprisingly spacious, making it a practical bag to pack without taking up a ton of space. It's also available in black, lavender, brown, and a gray-beige shade.

Lululemon 2L Crossbody Camera Bag

If you love the functionality and effortlessly cool vibe of Lululemon's Everywhere belt bag, you'll equally adore its crossbody camera bag. It's ultra lightweight and made of water-repellent fabric. There's two separate zippered compartments to keep items organized and it's available in a variety of colors like brown, wine berry, black, gray, white, and more.

Paravel Crossbody Capsule

This crush-proof canister-style crossbody is meant to protect your essentials—like a favorite pair of sunglasses, a tube of hand sanitizer, or a fragile film camera you love to travel with—in a lightweight, streamlined design. The water-resistant interior will also keep everything dry, just in case. What we love most, though, is the chic, retro, monogrammable style—nobody will ever believe it's practical, too.

Kate Spade Knott small crossbody bag

Versatility is key in a good crossbody bag. Whether you're museum hopping in New York City or grabbing gelato in Florence, this leather bag from Kate Spade has you covered. It's easy to dress up or down and fits just the right amount of must-haves without being too bulky or heavy to tote around all day or night long. Grab it in classic black or white and it will match everything.

Rothy's The Casual Crossbody

This everyday crossbody has been tested to hold up to 50 pounds—and while you're unlikely to ever fill it with that much weight, it's a comfort to know the strap is durable enough to fit all of your essentials plus a little extra. The bag features a zipper closure to keep your items secure and interior slip pockets for cards or your phone. What we love most: As with everything Rothy's, it's sustainably made and machine washable.

Made of premium Saffiano leather, it features a subtle texture that offers both timeless style and durability. This beauty will fit right in among your capsule wardrobe and can be worn year-round.

Calpak water bottle holder

Whether you're hiking, biking, or heading out for a game of pickleball, this convenient and compact water bottle holder saves you the hassle of lugging around a heavy, full-size bag. My favorite feature is the insulated and water-resistant interior, but it also comes with multiple pockets, a detachable shoulder strap, and a drawstring closure—a nice touch when you're on the move. It's available in more than a dozen colors and fun patterns.
