Man Bag Mania

You’re lugging your laptop around in WHAT? The latest must-have accessory is not a tie or pair of kicks, but a beautifully-crafted bag. You can’t be seen carrying just anything if you want to have any style cred. Whether it’s a tote, duffle, or backpack, be sure to note the brand, make, and color before making any decisions. Brofessional-approved favorites include Jack Spade leather duffles, quirky totes by Engineered Garments, and messenger-style Banana Republic briefs. Leather sends a clear, confident message – strong, assured, professional. For a dash of funk, mix it up by pressing a cool graphic design onto a cloth tote. For strictly business, consider a simple brief, but make sure it’s not too bulky. With man bags, it’s all about lines and curves – more of the lines, less of the curves.
