A man’s bag is definitely a very important accessory for
any outfit – whether it’s a tote, a weekender or a backpack, you need one to
carry your belongings around on every occasion.
So, without any more of my babbling, here are another
four different types of bag that are both fool-proof and extremely suitable for
any aspiring stylish gentleman.
3. The Backpack
As we all know, fashion is about cycles. What goes around
comes around guys and, right now, that is very true for the backpack. Backpacks
were everywhere during the '90s and with the recent revival of '90s fashion
we've come full circle with this iconic accessory. Today's modern designers
have put their own twist on this basic piece transforming it from playground
essential to high fashion accessory.
Hands free, minimal fuss and surprisingly capable of
holding a fair amount of stuff, it’s the ideal choice for a sartorial student,
casual man or every day bike rider.
4. The Briefcase
Briefcases are probably the oldest form of “acceptable”
handbags for men. Modern-day briefcases, however, have evolved a great deal
since the days of your father’s sharp-cornered case. They’re no longer boxy; in
fact, that’s about the only traditional element discarded in the modern
briefcase. The classic shape (without the sharp corners), buckles, leather
exterior, and practical interior compartments help make this bag a timeless addition
to any working-man’s wardrobe.
If you work in an environment that requires you to wear a
suit, I’d suggest purchasing one in black leather. Anywhere else, try one in
canvas for a more casual yet completely non-feminine look. A canvas briefcase
is also ideal for anyone looking to make the jump from a messenger bag.
5. Messenger Bag
Aptly named, the messenger bag is designed after the bags
traditionally carried throughout history by - whom else? - messengers. Often
made from canvas and swung across the shoulder, messenger bags have taken on a
whole new meaning in urban fashion. From students with canvas bags to urban
hipsters with modern leather bags, the messenger’s laid-back style will always
have a classic casual flair, but today’s leather messenger tote also exudes a
hint of uptown sophistication.
They are no longer a piece to carry your laptop and
important document only. They have acquired a symbol and fashion status. As the
nature and mode of work is changing, so is the lifestyle. Professionals
carrying briefcases having heavy dossiers and documents are fading out now.
Compared to back-packs, they are sturdy and stylish. Also it is much easier to
place and remove whatever you want to put in the bag.
6. The Actual Luggage
Hopefully we all have this bag in some shape or form at
the ready. But for regular usage it really is for the travelers who need to
take more than just the bare minimum with them.
Fortunately, there are literally hundreds of types out
there, so it really is about finding the style that suits you. I would suggest
to go for something with wheels from a practical standpoint and always opt for
a neutral color like navy, grey or black.
So there you have it guys, six bags I think should be
considered as a choice for each and every one of you out there. Throw out the
old idea that bags are for women and get with the fashion-forward times. While
classic bags like briefcases are still around, other bags with classic
elements, like the messenger bag, are becoming almost necessary accessories for
today’s modern man.
