Like, every second mom at the park. I don't think anyone is wearing it as a belt bag. That's precisely why this thing has reached peak ridiculousness.

Half the moms at last weekend’s soccer tournament were wearing that Lulu thing.

Utilitarian, but not remotely stylish.

Are we making fun of them now for being utilitarian or for being sheep to trends? I get so confused.

She looks like she's figured it out and looks pretty good


It's so utiliarian because it holds things close to the body and accessible. It might be here to stay with different designs and styling obviously

She…does not look good.

Disagree - I think she looks really good.

Agree. She looks very stylish. A should bag would have totally looked out of place with this look.

Some people like crossbody, some like totes, some like clutches and some like satchels. But those are all pretty standard, classic bag shapes where each has always been "popular" and available. The stylings have changed over the years. But they're all just bags. Now that belt bags are over and done, we'll go back to just having bags again.

For most of modern history we weren’t carrying palm-sized computers with us everywhere.

Our palm sized computers also fit in ..... regular bags. Small ones, medium sized ones and big ones.

Sure. But they aren’t conveniently strapped across your chest for easy access. Unless they start making large phone sized pockets in women’s clothing, I don’t see this as a trend with a short shelf-life.

I have large breasts. These things look AWFUL on me. The straps are too short to fit below my breasts. It's so bizarre.

The straps should be adjustable, keep looking. That said a cross body will emphasize your breasts, in case that bothers you.

No, it's fine and I have several cross body bags that I like. It's just that belt bags are meant to be worn up high but I find that super uncomfortable (but like the idea of them hugging the body).

Another large breasted woman here. I never wear crossbody bags! Just emphasizes my overly huge boobs. Not a good look for larger breasted women, sadly.
