Top 5 Cross Body Bags

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNH chapter.

Cross body bags might be a girl’s best friend during a night out.  As long as you keep the bag on your body, you’ll probably return home with your belongings inside the bag. (At least we all hope)!  I’ve composed a list of my top 5 bags- perfecting timing for the holiday season right around the corner!
 
Tory Burch Novelty Classic Mini Bag
This is a smaller version of the cross body you’ve seen out a lot. I personally love it in black.  It’s large enough to hold your cards, money, cell phone and lip-gloss but small enough to compliment an outfit.

Kimchi Blue Snake & Chain Cross Body Bag
Only available online but I’d consider this a steal for only $49! It’s very versatile; you can dress it up or dress it down.  Pair it with jeans and a top or throw on a dress with some heels! I love the two-tone look with the chain link strap.

Three-Zip Rocker
This Rebecca Minkoff cross body is featured in cement on piperlime.com.  This color is great because it goes with just about everything.  Zippers are great, many compartments to store your belongings.  The strap is adjustable and removable, transforming the cross body bag into the perfect clutch for a night out.

Fossil Mila Mini
This bag is two in one: shoulder bag and cross body.  It comes in fun colors and is reasonably priced ($65 + free shipping).  It’s large enough to fit you wallet, keys and sunglasses- so if you’re a girl who travels with a lot of things, this is the bag just for you.  It’s simple design with a fun chain link strap for around your shoulder.  If you choose to use it as a cross body, I think it would be fun to leave the chain hanging out! Spice it up a little.

Calvin Klein Vienna Crossbody
I first saw it in off white/vachetta and fell in love.  The bag is simple, timeless and classy.  I love that you can remove the strap and wear it as a clutch.  Imagine with a little black dress? So chic! Or with a leather jacket? Hey, still so cute!
