Best Size Kelly to Wear Crossbody?

+1 on 28K Sellier crossbody photo request. Especially for city/subway carry - eg under a jacket for security.

Can someone also model a 28K Sellier for crossbody? I want to wear Kelly across the body but not sure if I should get 28K or 20K.

Sorry for the dressing room shot... 28K sellier, chevre with a 105 cm strap. It works well for me crossbody and is comfortable.

I wear my 28 crossbody just fine, but am 5’5. I’d love to try at 25. I orefer the wider strap or tressage strap though as it feels more comfortable imo.

@ChloeClad - I have only K35 Retournes so my experience is limited to those, but I wear them crossbody about half the time. I like a big bag and even though I am somewhat shorter than you I prefer the convenience of having the crossbody option over any concerns that it might look a bit big on me.

There was a great thread last year on this topic - perhaps some inspiration is here: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/is-the-bag-wearing-me.985053/

I remember that thread and still think the crossbody look is great for the larger Kelly , including sellier.
I don’t like dainty ,I really like a look when something is slightly off kilter .

Here’s my all time favourite Kelly look , 35cm Barenia Sellier, it was posted on that thread by @psaseattle.

What I love is the way the bag is integrated into the overall effect, despite the size it doesn’t take over.

The Kelly 15 is the most stunning (and rare) to find. Not sure you can wear it cross body but I know for sure it cannot fit an Iphone

neither costume order a 120cm kelly strap, and all sizes work beautifully crossbody since the bag does not stress !

Thank you so much for these wonderful photos! I was trying to image what an 'under jacket/coat' crossbody carry might look like. However, looking at the photos, I realize that such a carry wouldn't work because the bag sits too high and bulky. Sometimes in the city or subway - an under jacket crossbody carry is preferable.

Maybe would work for a cropped jacket or moto style.

A mini K works great under a jacket. But overall it's a Kelly...not to go far OT but an advantage is that it's pretty secure. Anyone practicing situational awareness is ok with a Kelly.
