The sling, also known as the cross body bag is a staple accessory these days. It does give you a break from the heavy and big packs, as they can easily be managed on the shoulder or crossed around and, in certain versions, become the cute back pack. Well, the markets- are flooded with slings, but you need to consider some aspects before buying one or ordering it online.
Occasion
This must be your top most priority when buying a bag. Whether you will be taking to a party, or a shaadi with a lehenga or a to college will define the size and type of your bag. For instance, you can opt for a small blingy bag when going for clubbing, because all you that is needed is your makeup paraphernalia and your cellphone in the bag, which will be very different from your regular college slings that need to carry your books, lunchbox, charger and what not. A more rugged bag, may be canvas as the fabric.

Length
The length of the bag needs to be taken into consideration, as it will define your look. Always take note of the length of the strap, or better still buy a bag with an adjustable strap. Getting it short will not be a problem, but getting it long could be, so you might end up having an all new strap for your bag.
An ideal length for a sling bag is just a little below the waist, exact length depends on your comfort zone.
The bag should definitely reflect your personality, choice and must reflect your personal style. So think thoroughly before investing. Invest in a good quality bag- as classics never go out of style.
