Men's Bag

(All pictures are for illustration purposes only)

Ha! So you think only ladies love bags? Think again dear..

Any man of fashion knows that bags have become a necessary tool and at the same time, a style accessory. However, men's bags, as most men are, must look masculine and of course attractive.

There are, believe it or not, five types (that i know of and acknowledge their existence) of men's bag that can be easily mixed and matched with your business and casual wardrobe. So guys, take your pick:-


1) Briefcase
Forget boxy and sharp-cornered case. Like many key fashion pieces over time, the briefcase has evolved from the rigid cuboid object it once was toa now more soft and elegant silhouette.

Carry with: Business attire


2) Messenger Bag

The first people to wear a leather messenger bag were mail carriers. Even today you can still see many of them with the carrying strap running over the chest and opposite arm, while the pouch hangs down along the side of the body. This device was designed in such a manner to keep hands in use for riding a bike or for sorting pieces of mail. This is how the pouch got its name.

Messenger bags define "hip" by being nearly an anti-fashion statement. They look casual and trendy all at once - and like a denim jacket, they can actually become even cooler the older and more beat up they become.

Carry with: Slick street clothes


3) Holdall




Also known as weekend bags. Great for those weekend jaunts or three-day business trips. Discard big, bulky luggage, go for sleek and stylish holdall.

Carry with: Casual weekend wear or business casual attire


4) Newsboy bag


Classic style that has become synonymous with men's casual wear. This bag makes a fashion statement and it also excudes more masculinity and far more style savvy than a knapsack.





Carry with: Casual wear


5) Tote




This is the men's bag that i like the most. I always like seeing a man carrying a tote bag. Reasons: don't ask, i just don't know why. They just look more stylish with it. And maybe, just maybe because they are kind of a bit more in touch with their feminine side?? Doesn't matter, tote bag spells class and style :))


Carry with: Business/ casual clothes
