There are so many benefits to carrying a crossbody bag: You can use them hands free, they keep your essentials close to your body for convenience and security, and they're just plain cute, too. And you — yes, you! — definitely deserve to treat yourself to a new bag (or two).

To make shopping easy, we've rounded up the best crossbody bags for every taste and occasion. Our picks include crossbody bags designed for hiking and walking, dressing up for a night on the town, keeping your essentials secure for travel, and practical options for everyday wear. Many of these picks transform easily into backpacks, purses, slings, or waist packs, with convertible features.
