The 14 Best Spring Crossbody Bags For Style And Practicality Combined
While teeny, tiny handbags are fun for dressing up, and shoulder bags are useful for certain occasions, it’s the crossbody that will have your back time and time again. Take Simone Rocha’s fashion set-approved pearl-embellished bag that boasts a number of pockets and an adjustable strap that can be worn around the waist, on the arm or (you guessed it) across the body, ready to help you through whatever the day might hold. Likewise, Michael Kors’s suede saddle bag is so versatile it makes getting dressed each morning a breeze. As for styles arriving in the trending colours of the season, look to M&S’s deep burgundy suede bag, Kaai’s pistachio leather take and Loewe’s light brown iteration – it is one of the house’s best-selling styles for a reason.
With the winter months behind us, warmer weather allows us to re-introduce softer textures into our accessories arsenal with silky suedes and supple leathers that can be worn freely throughout the season. Whether you’re after something large enough to fit your laptop, chic enough to wear to dinner, or bright enough to break up an all-black outfit, there is truly a crossbody for every occasion and every need.
Below, ELLE puts together an edit of the best crossbody bags for spring 2026.
