Best Bet: Ann Taylor Leather Metro Crossbody Bag

The mini crossbody bag may be a summer music-festival staple, but there’s no reason to abandon the utilitarian style come fall. This version by Ann Taylor has a pony hair fold-over flap and comes in fall’s must-have color: oxblood. Sling it across your body from now until puffy-coat weather.
