Men are scared of bags. They think of them as feminine, preferring to cram their pockets full and carry around piles of stuff. Considering most men now carry around a mobile phone, keys, iPod, gym clothes, and reading material, it’s time to get over bag phobia in favour of a stylish and practical solution.
Find a bag that’s appropriate to your clothes: for example, guys in suits should not carry shoulder bags, which can bunch up the shoulders of your jacket.
The briefcase is the old staple item. From hard, hinged, and structured to soft and fluid, it’s a reliable option.
