Best Overall: Look, there’s a reason why this bag has sold out over and over again—it’s sleek, simple, and fits everything you need. I’ve had it for a couple years and while it’s great in any season, it’s my absolute go-to in the summer months when I don’t have jacket pockets to hold my keys and wallet for a quick errand. I’ve worn it on walks, to concerts, and even while floating down a lazy river. (FYI, it’s not waterproof, but I only needed it to hold my sunscreen.) I especially like the zippered back pocket, which keeps my phone separate from everything else—that way I don’t have to open the main pouch to quickly access it and switch songs or reply to a text.
The regular size works for me, but if you want something a little roomier, try the Everywhere Belt Bag Large, which is double the size. SELF’s associate wellness director, Cathryne Keller, is a huge fan: “I love the big one because I believe in always being prepared, and whether I’m traveling or running errands, that size allows me to comfortably fit hand sanitizer, sunglasses, tissues, bandaids, a Tide To-Go stick, etc. There’s even enough room for my reusable produce bags—a big plus since it’s my go-to bag for grocery runs.”
