5 Bags Every Guy Needs

Smart, organised and spacious enough for your papers plus a laptop or tablet, a slick workweek companion is essential for those who mean business. The smooth black leather and minimal hardware make the Cambridge Satchel Company’s Leather Folio one of our top picks.

Get yourself a spacious and durable backpack that can stand up to life’s last-minute adventures. This khaki canvas Poly Backpack from TOMS is fitted with compartments and a zipped front pocket so that nothing is far from reach when you need it most.

Whether you hit the gym or play for a team, a roomy sports bag is every guy’s must-have. Look out for additional ways to carry (so you can sling it over your shoulder after practice) and a compartment to stow your sneakers.

For work trips and weekend getaways, a beaten-up bag won’t do. Looking smart calls for a structured holdall like this Ted Baker Capone design. Slate grey and chestnut brown make a sophisticated combination.

Beat the elements and keep your essentials dry in a showerproof style like the MSN Bag from RAINS. Even on a clear day, this minimalist, matte design makes a stylish accompaniment from the weather-conscious Danish brand.
