Guys, we need to get something straight: your girl’s purse is not yours by association. Seriously, you’ve got to stop bogging down the missus’ bag with your stuff. Fortunately for you (and her), there is a great look to be had in the form of your very own dashing carryall. Man bags have come a long way, guys, and getting your hands on something stylish and functional is a must for the fashion forward fella.
Backpacks
For a bit of geek chic style, the backpack makes a major statement. Great for a day trip, hitting the ballpark, or for the guy who needs to get around the city unencumbered, this style is masculine and uber-functional. Luxe leather options update and add swagger to the collegiate staple, and classic canvas takes are ruggedly cool. As for convenience? Nothing beats the backpack.
Camera Bag
For an artistic, hipster vibe, your best bet is the always cool camera bag. Sturdy, with a vintage flair, these small shoulder bags were created to protect an actual camera, so you know your stuff is well kept. Store your valuables in one of these quirky cases when you’re out at a concert, or drag one to a house party and use it as a conversation starter.
Messenger Bag
The messenger bag is the type of multi-purpose staple piece it pays to have on hand. Work or play friendly, and sizable enough to tackle toting everything from a laptop to a change of clothes, this bag rules for versatility. For the sake of your valuables, look for options with buckles. Leather ones look ultra-sophisticated with the extra hardware, and fabric bags get a sporty upgrade.
Carry on in style, gents. You - and your girl - will be glad you did.
