Tired of lugging a bulky bag on your shoulder into town? Cameron Diaz just proved why this hands-free style is the ideal companion when you’re on the go.
Last weekend, the 52-year-old actress wore a casual ensemble while running errands with husband Benji Madden, complementing her trendy wide-leg jeans and classic tee with a handy belt bag.

Belt bags give you a wider range of motion and a lighter load to carry when you’re out and about, but still have room for your essentials. In addition to Diaz, we’ve spotted Joanna Gaines and Kate Hudson rocking the functional handbag style — and we know how you can jump on the bandwagon without breaking the bank. Amazon’s fashion department is a goldmine of popular belt bags, and we’ve picked the best options to shop from as little as $16.

This compact yet substantial belt bag has a simple silhouette that looks so similar to the one Diaz just wore. Its inner pocket has a capacity of 2 liters, offering enough space for a phone, wallet, key ring and other necessities. It is also equipped with an external zippered compartment and smaller internal pockets for organizing items.
Many reviewers swear by the belt bag for travel. “I got this to take to Italy for two weeks as a shoulder bag… [It] it worked well,” said one customer. They also noted that “the back pocket was great for storage [a] passport because it lies flat against your body and the pickpocket would have a hard time getting it in.”
