What Is A Crossbody Bag?
Before we dive into how to wear a crossbody bag, let’s chat about what a crossbody bag is. A crossbody bag is a style of purse that has a long strap. The strap could be adjustable. A crossbody bag can be as small as a small as a cell phone case cover or as big as a laptop with a 15 inch laptop screen. Originally, crossbody bags were 5 to 6 inches and had several compartments. The bag provided the user convenience of carrying bulky items. Crossbody bags also provided the user an easier way to get items out of the bag. Imagine that you are strolling through a park, and you needed to carry your camera, cell phone, and wallet. A purse may or may not be large enough for you to carry these items, but a crossbody bag can easily carry those items.
How To Wear Crossbody Bags
Have you ever wondered how to wear a crossbody bag? Well, crossbody bags have a long strap. The long strap goes over your shoulder and drapes diagonally or in a slant across the front of your body. As the strap goes across to the opposite side of your body, the bag sits on or near your waist. Depending on your outfit, you can convert your crossbody bag into a handbag. You can shorten the strap by wrapping the strap around itself. You can either hold the shortened strap, wrap around the bag, or place in the bag.
Where Should A Crossbody Bag Sit?
Crossbody bags sit at or on your hips. Usually crossbody bags have adjustable straps so that your bag can sit higher, lower or at your hips, based on your size and preference. Let’s imagine that you are taking a picture, and you place your hands on your hips. Do you have the visual of where you placed your hands? Where you placed your hands would be where your crossbody bag would sit.
