Messenger Bags 

For Men on the Go

Packing All You Need

Messenger bags are a sensible blend of backpacks and satchels. They can carry as much if not more than a backpack but are far more stylish in some cases. Backpacks serve a lot of utility, but messenger bags are perfect for professionals on the go. Often made with leather or canvas, these bags tend to radiate class and style.

Messenger Bag Style

If you're concerned about how you should wear your messenger bag, it's a pretty easy thing to master. Messenger bags tend to be a little more upscale in style compared to backpacks. If you're more of a business casual dresser, you'll want to secure a leather messenger bag. The leather finish will look great against a blazer, button up, and khakis. Likewise, if you're more of a sweater vest and jeans guy, the leather bag will make your outfit feel a little more classy.

When wearing sportier gear, or casual street clothes, a canvas styled messenger bag is in order. While the leather will look higher quality, you'll likely be bringing the bag to more places that could prove dangerous to it. Imagine biking with a leather messenger bag strapped to your back. A leather bag can certainly take a beating, but they're harder to clean. So if you're on the go a lot, consider going with a canvas bag for easy cleaning. If you're wondering where to purchase a messenger bag for work, Kohl's has plenty of options. 

Messenger Bags vs. Backpacks for College

Choosing between a messenger bag and a backpack for college depends on what you carry, how far you walk, and the style you want. A messenger bag is a good fit for lighter loads, quick access, and a clean look that can go from class to work or weekends. A backpack is better for heavier books, larger laptops, and long days on campus because it offers more space and better comfort.
