5 Stylish Yet Practical Bags to Elevate Your Everyday Office Looks
Prove you have corporate chic down pat with these timeless bags for everyday use.
Whether it’s your first job or your fifth, it can be hard to look stylish in the office. You get used to the rhythms, you see the same people day in and day out, so your outfits start to reflect the routine. Changing it up shouldn’t be hard but it feels that way. But what you need is a sturdy and effortless bag to dress up your work fits, so the everyday doesn’t feel so endless. Below, we found five bags and totes that you can add on permanent rotation to look your best self, even while eating al-desko.
Gucci Dionysus Messenger Bag
You can’t really go wrong with a simple leather bag, and this messenger from Gucci is a great staple piece for daily use. The sleek black leather won’t clash with most outfits, and the messenger size is great for any bits and bobs, like those clunky AirPods Max that you can’t bear to leave sitting on your desk the entire day. The textured tiger-head closure subtly conveys that you’re a man of style, without seeming too out-there.
Coach Field Tote 40
For the workaholics that just have to bring their laptops home with them, maybe this carryall tote from Coach is better suited for you. Roomy enough for a 15-inch laptop and other everyday necessities, the Field Tote 40 comes with both handles and a detachable strap so you can transition this bag easily from your hands to your shoulders. The Micro Signature Jacquard here also enhances the bag with the dark green adding a touch of class.
Louis Vuitton S Lock Briefcase
If you’re stuck in a more corporate environment, though, and don’t want to tolerate bombastic side eyes from your colleagues, leaning into a full-black accessory could be the way to go. The tone-on-tone hardware, and magnetic S Lock closure makes this model just the pizzazz you need to level up your fits. The signature Taurillon LV monogram is embossed into the leather, for a more luxurious appearance that feels put-together.
Alexander McQueen The Edge Duffel Bag
For my gym-bros that speed to the office everyday after your killer CrossFit WODs, perhaps something more spacious would work for you. This McQueen duffel bag is simple but not basic, trust me. This duffel bag gives others a run for their money, with the tailored construction of the black grainy calf leather. The silver hardware and signature Seal emblem from the house of McQueen make for a sleek bag for both the gym and the office.
Bottega Veneta Sardine Hobo
If you want to show your office crush that you have taste, the Sardine Hobo from Bottega might just be the one for you. The sculptural metallic handle is sure to turn some heads, if the Travertine shade doesn’t already do it for you. Aside from the one-of-a-kind handle, the Sardine Hobo also comes with a leather strap for a softer flair. This piece is perfect for casual Fridays since you can easily rock this at some after-work drinks.
