There’s nothing quite like a summer in the city; the beautiful lights, festivals and delicious food trucks! There’s always more to see in NYC and it never seems like there’s enough time. When strolling along the city streets, we all want to look our best, but it can be hard to carry a big purse and our shopping bags in the summer heat. This is where the amazing cross-body bag comes in. If you don’t already own one, what have you been waiting for? They come in all different shapes and sizes and are not the typical “messenger” bag. With the help of one of these, you have a place to store your necessities and still have the arm room or hands to carry the most important bags, your shopping bags.
I spotted this Fashionista walking along the Brooklyn Promenade in a simple bodycon dress paired with her cross-body bag, which she says is a must in the busy city. Her hair is kept up in a stylish ponytail to keep her cool throughout the hustle and bustle. This is a perfect outfit for a day in the city because it’s not only super stylish, but it’s practical for a busy day of shopping. To complete her look, she paired some cute and comfy sandals and sunglasses.
How To: You can recreate this look by paring your favorite dress with any cross-body bag. Since the bag goes across the body and typically falls around the waist or upper thigh area, it’s a good idea to wear a more fitted dress!
