Everyone knows that the easiest way to spice up a tired wardrobe is to accessorize, and purses are definitely the most convenient accessory. They’re pretty, like a necklace, but hold your entire life inside their perfectly embroidered pockets. What’s not to love? We’ve scoured the internet for the best crossbody bags (because who doesn’t like being hands-free?) under $50 to complete your summer wardrobe.
1. Vintage
This ASOS exclusive ($22) is beautifully unique since each one is crafted with vintage fabric and up-cycled vintage pieces. The small bag is not fussy but it is truly a work of art.
2. Juicy
This punchy pouch ($49) adds a playful element to even the most conservative outfit. Not to mention, it’s a great conversation starter and looks big enough to carry a real pineapple—a win-win!
3. Scallops
For something a little simpler, we love this classic and preppy convertible crossbody ($30.99) with an adorable scallop detail from Nine West. The bag has a removable strap to easily transform into a clutch so basically it’s perfect and already ordered in every color.
4. Wordy
At a loss for words? Let your bag speak for you. This in-your-face Sam Edelman crossbody ($48) is perfect for an edgy outfit for a night out with friends.
5. Fringe
No summer boho look would be complete without fringe. This simple bag from Forever 21 ($39.90) will easily pair with all of your summer staples and add an instant festival vibe.
6. Buckets
Bucket bags are SO in right now. But until we can tell if it’s just a passing trend or a classic that’s here to stay, it may be better to try a cheaper version before investing in the real deal. This faux leather bucket ($24.90) comes in two colors and won’t break the bank.
7. Western
There’s nothing better than rolling down the highway with your BFFs blasting country music with the warm summer air blowing through the windows. Now your bag can match the music with this embroidered saddle bag ($30) reminiscent of the Wild Wild West.
