Cross body bags were a huge trend last year and they are just as hot again this year. They are convenient, stylish and inexpensive. If you aren’t sure whether a cross body bag is what you’re looking for, then you’ve come to the right place. Here are tips on how to pick out a cross body bag and how to wear it!

One of my personal favorite excuses to wear a cross body bag is when I’m going out on the weekend. Instead of carrying around a clutch, you can wear a cross body bag and have both hands free. A silver leather cross body bag would be perfect for a night out on the town with your girlfriends. Silver will go with any outfit, whether you are wearing jeans or a dress.

Many of the cross body bags are meant for casual occasions. The smaller cross body bags that are only big enough to hold your essentials, are mostly meant for weekend errands or hang outs with friends. The aren’t really appropriate for work when you don’t have your purse on you all day anyway. You can wear your silver cross body bag to outings where you’ll need to carry your purse on you at all times. The perk is that you don’t have to hold it and your hands are free!

If a cross body bag doesn’t sound like what you’re looking for then there are other options that are hot this season. Sequins are still a huge trend, so you could try going with something like a gunmetal sequin bag. Again the silver color goes with most outfit, so you can’t go wrong. It’s always helpful to have a handbag that doesn’t clash with your outfits. A bag like this is a win-win because you have the sequins which are a huge trend and you have a color that will match anything.
