(Booty Shaking 13) It’s in the Bag



There are a whole wide range of bags available for the everyday man right now who gyms, works and play, unlike our parent's era, we have more choices than the briefcase. It is becoming more and more of an accesory than just a bag. An with all the different kinds of activities pack into one day, we normally look for a bag to go with all our different activities for the day.

1- Messenger Bag
Often made from canvas and swung across the shoulder, messenger bags have taken on a whole new meaning in urban fashion. From students with canvas bags to urban hipsters with modern leather bags, the messenger’s laidback style will always have a classic casual flair, but today’s leather messenger tote also exudes a hint of uptown sophistication.
My personal comments is that you might not want to carry this if you want to avoid crisps on your shirt when you carry it around. A untidy man is not an attractive man.

2- Holdall
Any traveling man needs a holdall for those weekend jaunts or three-day business trips. Big, bulky luggage has transformed into sleek, stylish holdalls (or carryalls). Its design is inspired by the duffel bag, but its predominantly leather exterior and more refined appearance attribute a classic look to this practical tote.
My personal comments is that with all the different sizes keepall/holdall available, you can get the right enough size for both your work and gym neccessities.

3- Tote
A tote is the modern approach to the classic briefcase. Resembling an artisan’s bag, the tote is the utmost in casual business attire. Its basic design and usual soft leather exterior allots it a classic status, while its long handles give it a contemporary edge. If purchased in a chocolate brown or black, this bag can add a touch of laidback masculinity to any casual work wear.
My personal comments is that this is simillar to the messeger, and are a bit more girly to many, however if you choose the right fabric, color and size to go with a decent dressing, any man can pull off a daring and stylish masculine identity and be an eye candy, but a worng decision will instantly change you into a fashion victim, just like any other bag would.

4- Newsboy Bag
Like the advent of the newsboy cap, the newsboy bag is a classic style that has become synonymous with men’s casual wear. It’s similar to the messenger bag’s style, but its traditional canvas exterior makes it a little less formal than the latter. This bag style is perfect for the student on the go, as it makes a fashion statement and exudes more masculinity and style-savvy than a knapsack.
My personal comments is that this is the most casual bag of the bunch.

Throw out the old idea that bags are for women and get with the fashion-forward times. While classic bags like briefcases are still around, other bags with classic elements, like the messenger bag, are becoming almost necessary accessories for today’s modern man.
