Cross-body bags are an ideal accessory for hands-free spring shopping, dancing at summer concerts or checking out the latest outdoor art. Ladies can choose from boho fringed bags from American Eagle Outfitters, floral-print versions from Foley + Corinna or styles that convert into clutches from Urban Outfitters—with most options clocking in at less than $100.
