The all-black crossbody bag is a part of the brands Fall/Winter 2017 collection, which features a range of other [military-inspired technical gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spclst-system-duffel-bag) as well. In addition to having a simple colorway that matches with any ensemble, the crossbody bag has relatively flat construction that covers a lot of surface area, enabling its user to pack it full with heavier items and carry it comfortably, as the weight is more evenly distributed. In addition, the [waterproof coating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-versatile-bags) on the bag allows users to wear it in any climate and easily clean it afterwards, whether it's a rainy and muddy, or cold and snowy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Utilitarian Gear:** The rise of functional gear with waterproof coating that allows use in any climate. - **Military-inspired Fashion:** Integrating camo and durable construction into everyday wear. - **Crossbody Convenience:** Smaller, more compact bags with flat construction for maximum comfort and less strain. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Incorporating high-end materials and military-inspired designs into everyday wear. - **Outdoor Sports and Recreation:** Creating functional gear that can withstand harsh outdoor environments. - **Technology:** Developing waterproof coating technology to extend product lifetime and usability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Celebrity-Coveted Travel Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprayground-offers.md) - [Spacious Crossbody Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleo-bag.md) - [Minimalist Commuter Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-commuter-backpack.md) - [Outdoor Utility Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apc-x-gregory.md) - [Crossbody Hydration Pack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossbody-hydration-pack.md) - [Freezable Crossbody Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydration-crossbody.md) - [Cargo Pocket-Adorned Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-research-parasite-bag.md) - [Durable Versatile Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-versatile-bags.md) - [Adaptable Three-in-One Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultix-outdoors-superpack.md)
