The 8 Best Stylish Work Bags For Men

“What are some stylish work bags that can hold a lot of things, such as an essential laptop?” 

Recommending an ideal, practical, and stylish work bag can be a difficult task. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. This largely depends on the needs of the wearer. Single handle tote bag, not suitable for cycling. When you are surrounded by top management, a backpack is not the best choice. 

Fortunately, my personal clients are not celebrities. The assistants carry phones and coffee. 

These are people who work in offices and co-working spaces like you. Their laptops and hardware need something that will not make them look like college freshmen.

Here are 8 bags. After field testing by my personal styling clients, their needs are varied, from men who ride bicycles to work every day, to executives who want to impress people to conscious tough guys. Go to the meeting room. In Crossfit.

Filson Leather-Trimmed Twill Briefcase

Filson is my stylist’s favorite bag recommendation. 

The real workhorse, especially in an office with a business atmosphere. Think of it as the original denim in your handbag-timeless, practical and reliable. 

Durable Twill is waterproof to ensure the safety of your technological equipment. The leather trim is effective, not a bicycle messenger. This has an interior space that can hold up to 15 inches of laptops, and there are plenty of pockets to store pens, chargers, and all other necessary office supplies. 

Which color should I choose? 

It depends on your style and mood. Safe bet: Black is a good choice if the following situations occur. They are very elegant. If you like boys’ T-shirts, jeans and boots, olive or brown are good choices.

Variation 

If you work in an unusually humid climate or just want extra protection, Filson offers a soft bag or a waterproof leather model.

Metropolitan Slim Brief by Coach

Whether you are a beginner or want to dress for the job you want, nothing can represent “growth of taste” more than a leather bag. 

Coach’s Metropolitan Skinny Briefs are priced at US$595, which is a ridiculous proposal considering that they are made of exquisite soft calfskin (the most expensive type of cowhide). A bag like this can easily cost $10. (Watch this post!) 

If you want to stand out in the sea of ​​tech backpacks or handbags, this is the best entry-level leather bag you can buy.

It has enough internal space to hold a 15-inch laptop and has an extra zippered pocket to store your phone and all important documents. My favorite part is the invisible outer bag with magnets, which is perfect for getting subway maps, passports, or tickets quickly.

Which color should I choose? 

Black and dark brown are both versatile and timeless, depending on your style. Simple style tips: look at the shoes you own. If you have a lot of black shoes, I recommend a black briefcase.

O’Hare Leather-Trimmed Organic Cotton-Canvas Tote Bag

I’m a tote guy.

A backpack always makes me want to hit people, and I never like crossbody messenger bags. 

The problem with the lottery I used in the past was the lack of functionality. These are mostly cheap duffel bags that can be found in stores: no compartments, no zippers, no protection.

Enter the Want Les Essentiels O’Hare tote bag. 

It combines everything of my favorite bag with the internal functions of a real laptop bag. 4 deep internal pockets, a detachable shoulder strap, and a top zipper for storing all work utensils. 

If you like a stand-up bag that can be taken as much as I do, I will seriously consider Want Les Essentiel Retrofit Bag. 

Which color should I choose? 

In daily work, you can try brown, gray, or patterned styles at will. For more informal office/business people, choose the safest option-black, blue or dark brown.  

Variations 

Want Les Essentiels offers a large handbag made of waterproof technical nylon and luxurious leather with the same internal functions.

Day Pack by Aer

Work backpacks have received a bad rap lately. I know that most backpacks make you think you have just graduated from university and participated in an internship program, or as a backpacker on vacation in Europe. 

Indeed, backpacks are great, especially for men who ride bicycles to work, because there is no place to put luggage and the delivery is heavy. And there are unusual ways. 

The two most important factors of an ideal men’s cycling work backpack are comfort and water resistance and the Aer Day Pack when closed. 

It is made of Cordura 1680D ballistic nylon, the outer layer is waterproof, can be placed independently, and is equipped with a padded mesh panel to ensure breathability. (Translation: no longer sweat at work). 

Like all large work bags, the padded internal space can provide space for laptops up to 15.6-inches, and the internal pockets can hold everything such as a wireless mouse, charger, glasses, spare keys, and bullet journals. 

The horizontal chest strap provides extra stability and minimizes weight transfer during cycling. The outer pocket fits perfectly with your Zojirushi water bottle.

Volume MM Leather Backpack by Berluti

Are you wearing a suit and want a comfortable backpack? Okay, let us make sure it suits your refined and personalized style and is made of leather. 

My favorite leather backpack comes from Berluti, a Parisian shoe company that has been leading leather production since 1895. 

This beautiful Made in Italy backpack with classic design and handmade structure is what you expect from one of the best backpacks. The shoemaker of the world. 

There is a pair of inner pockets that are very suitable for small items. The only downside is that it does not have a dedicated laptop compartment, so I recommend bringing a laptop case to provide a little extra protection. My personal favorite is Incase’s new zipperless magnetic sleeves.

Tech Pack by Aer

At first glance, the Tech Pack is difficult to distinguish from the Day Pack recommended by Aer so far. 

With the Tech Pack, you can get nearly 1 liter more space (the Tech Pack is 16.2 liters, and the Day Pack is 15.4 liters) and additional features, such as a quick-access laptop compartment and a waterproof YKK Aquaguard zipper And side panels. A handle allows you to carry it like a briefcase. 

Think of it as an extra-large Snickers. Tech Pack is everything you love about Day Pack and more.

Fit Pack 2 by Aer

Okay, 3 tips on using the bag in the guide? 

What can I say, you know what you are doing. 

If the Aer Day Pack and Gym Bag have babies, you will have the Fit Pack 2.

The zipper compartment is everything you love about your daily backpack: breathable mesh panel, padded laptop bag, and storage compartment for all accessories. 

Lay it flat like a gym bag to enter the front-loading compartment. 18.8 liters of capacity is enough to hold sportswear. At the bottom is a ventilated shoe compartment that can hold Nike Metcon sneakers (maximum size 13!). 

It is the perfect bag for transitioning from a co-working office to CrossFit. It also allows you to quickly go to work where you want to change clothes.

Plume 12h Briefcase by Hermes

It may take up to 48 working hours to make a Hermès bag, and you can see it. You will appreciate this when you reach a new professional level. 

Hard work means hard work, and putting the laptop in your Plum 12H briefcase at the end of the day is a great reminder of the rewards for excellent work. 

Plume 12H is made of calfskin, which is famous for Hermès. It is beautiful, slim, and extremely difficult to use because it has no room for fault tolerance. Sliding tools may scratch your skin and make it unusable. 

Hermès craftsmen have learned from the craftsmen for many years and earn the privilege of making simple straps. They spend more time perfecting their craft until they have the right to make a Hermes Signature bag. 

Yes, this is an investment. But you deserve it as the perfect cocktail at the end of a long week.
