Now more than ever, a man needs more than just pockets to carry a wallet, mask, hand sanitizer, vaccination card and whatever else to venture out into the world. Sure, you might be able to stuff your pockets full of those, but good luck sitting down or feeling comfortable.
An easy solution: a crossbody bag that can carry it all. Not only is it functional, but a crossbody can be a great accessory to add an additional fashion element to your outfit. Celebrities like A$AP Rocky, Kanye West, Liam Payne and more have rocked them on the red carpet and around town.
