Crossbody, shoulder, or handheld bag?

I am a huge shoulder bag fan. And I really dislike handheld ones (i.e. those bags with short straps) unless it's just going out for dinner and not having to carry it for hours. Lately I started using crossbody bags, small-ish ones, and love them. I love how practical they are (even though I miss being able to carry everything and the kitchen sink with me), but I don't really like the look.

I'd love to wear a soft, beautiful, slouchy suede boho bag again. But the thought of carrying that over my shoulder for hours now fills me with dread.

So what's your choice out of the three?

Crossbody for me, for small bags. For larger bags I always prefer one long, adjustable strap, so I can wear it either crossbody or as a shoulder bag.

Never liked handheld or clutch bags. Rucksacks only if I have to!
