The best men’s bags for work

We’ve all been there: it’s 9:01 AM and you’re rushing to make it into the office on time. With your laptop in one hand and your coffee in the other, the thought hits you: “why don’t I have a work bag?”


If you don’t have one already, you need a decent work bag. From office essentials and gym gear to commute-worthy reading material and last-night’s leftovers, the convenience of keeping your everyday carry in one place is unmatched.


To help you find the essential of all essentials, here are what we consider to be the best men’s bags for work. 

  1. The cross-body bag

We love the cross-body bag because you can sling it across your head-and-shoulder and completely forget about it. It’s really the ultimate men’s work bag if you want complete hands-free convenience. No messing about with straps that are forever sliding off your shoulder, and no worrying about a bulky backpack that makes enemies on public transport. 

  1. Backpacks & duffels

If, on the other hand, you don’t care about what people on the public transport think, you might opt for a backpack or duffel. These are the perfect option for those who bring a little more kit to work average - things like gym gear or a change of clothes if you’re heading out for post-9-5 drinks.

If you’re exploring this option, we have some smart, sleek backpacks that look a lot more professional than your average hold-all.

  1. The classic commuter bag

The clue is in the name: you really cannot go wrong with a classic commuter bag. These crowd-favourites are specifically designed for the working man and are typically well-equipped with a variety of pockets to keep your work bits organised. Designated laptop sleeves, zipped compartments and more, these are perfect for the organisation-enthusiast.
