Four Must-Have Work Bags

No look, for work or otherwise, is complete without the right accessories! One of the most important accessories you can have is your work bag. Here are four work bags for work that are functional, stylish, and affordable.

As I’ve grown into my own personal style and progressed in my career I’ve learned how essential the perfect work bag is. Since I like to share the gems I pick up, I’m sharing some of my favorite work bags suitable for your needs.

1. The Classic Tote

Tote bags are the foundation for good work bags because they’re large and sturdy. This is a great style for easy access to all your necessities, big and small. Your makeup, wallet, laptop, change shoes, lunch, etc. will all fit in this bag without a problem. 

2. Satchel

The satchel bag is the tote bag’s sophisticated cousin. These are a must-have work bag for me because they usually have more to offer in the organization department. Satchels typically have various pockets and compartments. This is ideal if you have smaller items to keep separate like a work ID, iPad, notebook, earbuds, and keys.  Another bonus is that most satchels have a detachable strap that allows you to carry them as a crossbody or a shoulder bag.

 

3. Backpack

Backpacks are practical work bags because they help evenly distribute the weight of everything you carry. They also have larger compartments to hold books, folders, or anything you need to keep intact. There’s more to backpacks than the typical “Tech bro” style. You can find modern, sleek, and fashion-forward options that suit your style. 

 

4. Shoulder Bag

You may opt for a shoulder bag if you’re lucky enough to bring yourself and your belongings. This is a great work bag for the minimalist. Shoulder bags also transition easily from day to night for happy hour or dinner after work. This is another bag that features compartments for all your small, easy-to-lose items. The smaller size of this bag makes it easier for those commutes where the train or bus is packed and you need to keep your belongings close by.
