5 Practical Reasons Why You Need A Crossbody Bag
Small But Mighty
Crossbody bags are known for allowing you to carry everything you need and nothing you don’t. However, if you’re crafty enough, it’s still possible to fit in some non-essential items. It’s possible to create more room by removing the wallet and utilizing other compartments for your payment methods. Make even more space for your belongings by putting your phone in your pocket or carrying it in your hands.
On The Go Approved
Wearing a bag crossbody is the most functional and practical way because it will keep your essentials close to you at all times while allowing your hands to be free. It’s not necessarily Bluetooth but the concept is almost the same, right? It’s one of the best things about having a crossbody bag. More often than not, you can also grab exactly what you need when you need it. No rummaging though that bottomless pit of a tote bag for 5 minutes while the pressure of a never ending line waits behind you. Well, that’s unless you’re looking for something so tiny that it managed to fall to the bottom of the bag, like a paper clip.
The Price Is Almost Always Right
Crossbody bags are normally priced more reasonably compared to most other handbags. A common misconception about buying crossbody bags is that it won’t be able to do anything for you because of it’s small size. Whether it’s $25 or $1025, keep in mind that you are investing in an accessory that has more versatility and functionality for the price than most other handbags. It’s also much easier to find your ideal crossbody bag and stick to it as an everyday bag no matter the occasion. Oops, spoiler alert.
Suitable For Every Occasion
Most purses seem perfect for every occasion, but crossbody bags actually are. Totes bags are great for the office, and for fitting everything into, but it wouldn’t look as nice at a formal event. Backpacks are convenient but they aren’t quite ideal for safety and security. Shoulder bags come the closest and give crossbody bags a run for their money. On the other hand, handbags have transformed so much that some crossbody bags have the ability to transform into shoulder bag or even a backpack! Crossbody bags are perfect for events, traveling, shopping, busy moms, teens, and honestly the list could go on.
Security & Safety
When wearing a handbag I constantly find myself readjusting the bag or touching the bag in an unconscious effort to make sure it is safe and secure. Sometimes knowing its there isn’t enough though. Have you ever seen scenes where a woman gets her purse stolen with a quick grab and run? Well, It is much more difficult for someone to compromise your belongings in a purse that is strapped across your body than a purse that is dangling on your arm or shoulder. Thus, one of the most reassuring safety and security features of wearing a crossbody purse, especially when visiting crowded areas. That in mind, remember to also stay aware of your surroundings to avoid these kinds of situations as much as possible.
Secure The Bag
That’s it. Wait, did you expect this to be another reason? What more reason could you need? I gave you 5 practical reasons why you need a crossbody bag, so the only thing left to do is secure the bag. I’ve given you a head start with the shoppable carousel below.
