The everyday bag holds more responsibility than any other accessory in your wardrobe. It has to be an efficient multitasker, carrying everything from your essentials to your sense of style, all the while keeping up with the demands of your day. When form meets function in just the right way, the perfect everyday bag doesn’t just exist, it becomes essential.

You can always rely on Sol and Selene to lead you to the best handbags for everyday use that check all the boxes. Check out our recommendations for the best bags for everyday carry and find your ultimate BFF accessory!

The Classy & Convenient Crossbody Purse

Crossbody bags are the undefeated champion when it comes to convenience because who doesn’t like a bag they can just sling over their shoulder and forget? If you’re an active person who’s always on the go, hopping from one place to another, running lots of errands, or commuting often, a crossbody bag is undoubtedly the best everyday carry bag for you. Choose one in a medium size for maximum versatility.

The G.O.A.T. Everyday Tote

Do your days demand a bag that can keep up with everything you carry? Then you tote-ally should own a tote bag or two! They’re the best handbags for everyday use, whether you’re heading to work, going grocery shopping, or simply meeting up with friends for brunch. Our tote bags come with dedicated compartments for all your essentials, so you don’t have to dig through the whole thing just to find your car keys or wallet. Go for one of our water-resistant neoprene bags and stay stylish, rain or shine. 

The “Only Essentials” Sling Bag

Sling bags are one of the best carry-alls for everyday use if your day demands a fast pace and freedom of movement. Their small size makes it easy to carry essentials like your phone, wallet, keys, and earphones, with some extra space to spare for other small items that might come in handy. These are the perfect alternative to crossbody bags if you’re serious about moving light. Throw one on with your comfiest outfits, and you’re ready to go grab froyo with your bestie or take a stroll at your local park.

The Chic City Girl’s Structured Clutch

If your day starts with brunch at an open-air restaurant, flows into a leisurely art gallery stroll, and ends with a cozy dinner or wild night out, a chic clutch may be the best everyday carry bag for you. It’s undeniably elegant, whether paired with a simple blouse and tailored pants or a flirty mini dress. Get a clutch that makes a statement and elevates any outfit it’s mixed into, like a slightly structured neoprene clutch with a woven texture. 

The Ultra-Compact Cellphone Bag

At Sol and Selene, we offer the best everyday carry cellphone bags, perfect for daily walks, coffee runs, and other low-demand activities.
