Bossing It: The Best Work Bags for Women

Choosing a stylish and practical bag for everyday office wear

A work bag is a non-negotiable accessory. Combining practicality with style, it’s an essential everyday companion for busy commutes, and an even busier work schedule. Here are some tips for finding a bag that complements your work style, while giving you all the practicality you need for a day at the office.

The best bag styles for work

To carry your office essentials on your commute, from gadgets to an on-the-go girl dinner, you’ll need a spacious bag. Shopper bags are a great choice, with sturdy grab handles and plenty of room to fit your must-haves. A large tote bag also fits this brief. Ideally, look for a bag that has a few inner pockets where you can store your smaller and more valuable items. If you want to stay on-trend this season, bags with slouchy silhouettes are in.

Choosing a material for your work bag

Your work bag will need to withstand a lot of wear and tear, so choose a hardy material that’s designed to last. Leather or faux leather checks all the boxes, being durable, weatherproof and classically stylish. If your office has a more casual dress code, a denim bag is a hard-wearing and trendy option with a more laid-back appearance.

Choosing a laptop bag

If you’re regularly commuting between coworking spaces and meetings all day or taking your office laptop home with you, it makes sense to get a good laptop bag. The design of a laptop bag typically includes both a grab handle and an adjustable strap, making them versatile and comfortable to carry. If you have a laptop bag to safely carry your tech around, you can invest in a smaller shoulder bag or cross-body bag to carry the rest of your office essentials.

Co-ordinate your look with a matching set

Keep it together with a matching bag and purse set. Carrying a matching purse in your bag means you can keep your cash, cards, and small items secure without losing them in a spacious bag. Plus, they’ll look great together and complement each other’s designs. You can also go easily from day to night by switching out your work bag for your purse before heading to after-work drinks.
