You love carrying your handbag or tote bag to work as it is large enough to carry both personal and work essentials. However, if you’re feeling like you’re lugging a heavy luggage to the office everyday, maybe it is time to consider a backpack instead. Backpacks are spacious designs that spread the weight across two straps slung across the shoulders, making them more comfortable to carry over long periods even with a full load including a laptop and work documents.
Ahead, we’ve rounded 10 stylish designs that are great for the office without compromising on style:
For those who prefer clean lines and a minimalist design, Charles & Keith’s Dome backpack will check these boxes. We’re also loving how the large gold hardware is accented against the black faux leather. Dome is also available in brown, light blue and a snake print design as well as a bigger size option.
Do you head to the gym before or after work? Then you’ll need this Bershka backpack as its roomy size will be able to carry the change of clothes, makeup bag and work essentials.
This Balenciaga backpack might look petite, but it can actually hold a sizeable amount – anywhere from a change of clothes to an iPad. The glossy croc-effect leather is also a cool alternative to the usual work bag options.
Luxemono allows you to personalise your bags, which makes this Saffiano leather backpack make a great present to yourself or a loved one. You can add a monogram of up to 10 characters and even add a playful emoji.
The Row by the Olsen twins are known for the clean, minimalist designs and this leather backpack is no different. It has a unique bucket bag silhouette and has interior pockets to keep your cards conveniently stowed away.
From the contrast quilted pattern to the half chain straps and gold hardware detail, this Aldo backpack looks more expensive than it really is. Pair the unique design with an equally unconventional denim boiler suit.
Whoever said that pink isn’t suitable for work obviously hasn’t taken a look at this pretty H&M backpack. It is also made with imitation grained leather and a faux suede front. Pair it with a flirty pink dress for Wednesdays.
We admit we are fans of Burberry’s TB monogram created after the founder Thomas Burberry. But beyond that, don’t you think the combination of the brown monogram, black leather straps and gold hardware make this bag just so visually appealing and harmonious?
For those who are always in a hurry and need to access the contents of their bag in a jiffy, a drawstring design is what you should get. This Adidas by Stella McCartney design is made with lightweight polyurethane and has thick straps for comfort.
This sporty looking iteration from Bimba Y Lola is part of their Olympia Collection that employs technical fabrics. The front and side pockets are especially useful for those who lose their items in the bottomless pit of the bag.
