Whether it’s a slick tote or a fun boho bag, when commuting around during the work day, it helps to have a bag that is practical as well as complementing to every outfit. It’s better to have a classic bag to carry from season to season as opposed to something too trendy that will became out-of-season after a few months. With morning workouts (athletic wear), daily jobs (work supplies), important meetings (notebooks and visual aids) , errands (commuter shoes), and after-work outings (party accessories), your bag items can easily over accumulate. Regardless of your unique style, we’ve curated a list of essential bags that will effortlessly carry you and your many items from the office to the bar.
