I love my Speedy b25 or Twinset for this. It’s amazing how much you can fit in a Speedy 25!

Yay perfect I think it comes out the 28th or something like that
Another vote for the Speedy 20. I have it in black Empreinte and it's a great winter every day bag. It fits a lot, is light and crossbody. The new side trunk is about the same size and is super lightweight but I don't know that I would use it for every day.
I wear crossbody only. You need a bag with a flatter profile. A wide base can jut out. It is also more convenient to have a zip top closure for easy in and out access when wearing cross body. I have small flap bags and they are a bit of a pain. Much easier to see in the bag when have access to the bag from the top without a flap in the way. It is just less fussy to deal with everyday.
Speedy b 25- I personally would go for the 20 instead. Still tends to stick out a little but it is still a solid choice. It will fit your sunglasses as long as you don't have a large case. If you do, go for the 25...wider opening and easier to get in and out of, but the 20 has the smaller footprint.
Croisette- Slim profile but is a flap closure.
Neo Noe, Noe bb- wider base. Will stick out. Of the 2 I think the BB is the better choice.
Alma bb- slim profile and zip top, but it is a little fussy to get in and out of because of the shape of the bag and it is more structured. The handles also don't lay as nice as the speedy because of the way the strap attaches near the handles.
Pochette Metis- too heavy, is a flap bag, and the lock is a little fussy. I have the east/west and I don't grab for it as an everyday bag.
I would take a look at the Boulogne and the Odeon. Those are the best for everyday crossbody IMO from LV. LV has a bad habit of making straps pretty short for crossbody wearers. If you don't like those styles then go for a speedy or noe bb. All easy to access bags when worn on the body. Someone mentioned the Loewe Flamenco. That is a great crossbody if you are open to other brands. Gucci and YSL also make some fantastic crossbody bags.

Definitely Alma BB!! I have one in DE and one in black Epi and they are the perfect size for those items and a bit more. I have fun switching out the straps too for different looks. Since you already have a few speedy styles I would skip another speedy. The pochette Métis would be my next vote. Let us know what you decide! What color or pattern are you thinking of?
I was coming here to say the same! I didn't think I'd use it nearly as often as I do, but it fits just what I need.
I also agree the speedy 20 packs a punch and really so so cute. I have alma bb also in the DE another one that packs a punch. I'm 5'3 for reference I'll look back to see if I have an Alma bb pic
Thank you all for the really helpful comments!
I went to the store today but didn’t buy anything. A lot was sold out, but I did get the chance to try out most of the bags on my list.
The Pochette Metis didn’t really suit me. I was surprised by that because I love it on other people and it looked like the perfect everyday bag for me. I thought I would end op buying this one, but it didn’t feel right.
The Neo Noe is too bulky for me to wear crossbody. It was very lightweight and it was also very pleasant to use because it’s not too structured, but still keeps its form very well. But not the best crossbody option.
The Speedy b25 was also very comfortable to wear, with an adjustable and comfortable strap. Also a very nice size, it can hold a lot. But I already have 3 regular speedies, two size 30 and one size 25. I would prefer another, (slightly) more structured bag this time.
The Speedy 20 was sold out. This one looks totally different than the Speedies I already own, so I would love to have a look at this one. I love the look on the photo posted by Lvoe1238!
The Mahina Bella, as suggested above, is also really nice, but for me a bit too expensive for everyday use.
The Alma bb was also very nice. They only had it in mono, but for this model I prefer DE. The strap was on the short side for me and I don’t know if it would be comfortable for everyday use as it is quite thin. I think I would have to buy a separate strap. The size was ok, but on the small side. I think it’ll fit what I need most of the time. This one is still on my list.
I think that out of all bags I tried, I liked the Croisette the most. The strap had the perfect length and the bag looked very elegant. I didn’t buy it immediately because I didn’t expect it to be the bag of my choice. I originally wanted to go for a more classic/iconic LV. It was also not easy to close the bag. According to the SA, it would not be a problem when it’s not empty, but I after reading the comments in this forum, I’m worried this will stay a problem.
I also couldn’t decide between DA and DE for this model. Between DE and DA, I think the gold lock really stands out on the DE and the DE is also carefree. On the other hand, the strap of the DA is softer and I have more bags in DE than DA. For spring and summer, DE might be a bit too dark with floral dresses of pastel colors. If I would choose the Croisette, than I would later on probably have a look at the Alma bb, which I would only buy in the DE.
