We all have a lot of baggage these days. We're not talking about emotional baggage—that's between you and your therapist (or your bartender). But we're all carrying around a lot of stuff, right? Especially during the summertime, our pant pockets simply can't handle all the essentials modern life requires. You've got your phone, your wallet, maybe some lip balm and some sunscreen. Don't forget your earbuds and a pair of sunglasses. What about your camera?

It's no wonder more and more guys are embracing a daily bag. The easiest amongst these is a crossbody or sling bag. The streamlined style lets you haul a whole lot of stuff, all while keeping your hands-free to swing in the breeze or scroll through social media. These bags blend the worlds of streetwear and outdoor performance gear—striking a tone between “nonchalant cool” and “rugged utility”. It's true that these bags were not always cool, but in 2024, they're often seen slung over the shoulders of bonafide badass guys: A$AP Rocky, David Beckham and Jacob Elordi are all noted satchel enthusiasts. And if these bags work for those guys, they'll definitely work for you.
