Purses are essentially the cherry top for every single outfit, but why does this important fashion piece have to be such a hassle? From the constant sliding of the straps to the aches and pains that come after a long day of lugging your endless amount of “must-haves” around, the looks are just not worth the price you have to pay. There’s no need to add to the amount of weight you already have on your shoulders, so here are some trendy purse alternatives that will have you wondering why you ever bothered carrying one in the first place.

From your fave celeb to even Linda around the corner, you can see practically anyone sporting a fanny pack nowadays, and maybe their popularity isn’t a fluke. This bag, while being very spacious and having multiple compartments to store everything you need, will have you forgetting that you’re carrying around a personal storage unit. It’s guaranteed that this fun accessory won’t leave you running back to the bathroom stalls to see if that’s where you accidentally left it because it’s attached at the hip, literally!
2. A Load Off Your Shoulders

This new arm candy will have you wondering why you even put up with shoulder straps in the first place. Wristlets keep all of your necessities right at the touch of your fingertips. From your go-to lipstick to your phone, this small, yet mighty storage device has got you covered and keeps you looking effortless while doing so.

Everything you’ll ever need, all in one place. The phone wallet is centered around one of the most essential items in your life meaning you’ll never need anything more! With multiple pockets and pouches made for storing things like that one Starbucks gift card you always seem to forget about to even your cash and ID, this is one of the most practical alternatives to regular bags. These wallets can be used for a day at the theme park or when you’re taking a jog around town but still want to have all of your essentials with you!

Much like fanny packs, mini backpacks take a more “hands-off” approach to storing your everyday essentials. These place a more fashion-forward twist on the functionality of the backpacks we used to lug around the hallways of high school. The comfort of them is unbeatable and you’ll forget it’s even there! Not only do they come complete with loads of storage and compartments, but they also top off any outfit you pair it with!

You definitely need to get your hands on one of these in order to start your journey on a more comfortable lifestyle.
