BAG MAN

Men wear bags. There I said it. People will either hate/love you for carrying a bag. The truth is a man carries just as much as a woman! Sometimes more. From our gym clothes, our electronic equipment, magazines, papers, work documents (even our partners goods), picking the right bag for you is the key. There are endless styles from totes, document holders, laptop bags, duffle and so on. Here we explore the go to bags I tend to use on a daily basis. Remember fit for purpose is key!

The Document Bag

This is a great sized bag perfect for a laptop, diary (i'm old school and like a hard copy diary) magazines and other daily essentials. Multi compartment perfect for phones, ipads, wallets etc. A good leather document bag will stand the test of time. Classic colours go with any outfit.

The Keepall 

It is called a Keepall for good reason. It can hold so much. Does anyone else not need to change half way through the day to go to a different event? Holds plenty of every day goods, such as aftershave, deodorant, books, magazines. This one from Ted Baker holds just the right for an overnighter!

The Go To TOTE

Totes are awesome and can be your best friend. They are a more casual bag than the traditional, perfect for running errands. Size does count if you like to go shopping, buy fresh flowers or off to a lunch date. If you are more adventurous, ditch the plain tote and and tuck into a printed tote. You know me, any print or bold colour grabs my attention.

The Pouche/Clutch

The mysterious Pouche. Once again picking the right pouche/clutch is key. Why do you need it? For me, they are a handy little bag perfect for wallet, sunglasses, keys, aftershave and phone. Picking the right texture and print is key a long with the size. This one is Karl Lagerfeld and was reasonably priced. More men should carry these.

The Bum Bag

I know what you’re thinking when you hear the words bum bag. Fear not, they are just as useful as the pouche/clutch. Even more so if you want to be hands free. Personally I throw my Gucci bum bag over my shoulder and use it as a belt when wearing jeans. Again, fit for purpose. One of my favourite go to bags of all time.
