Backpacks
Backpacks have always been big business in both streetwear and preppy looks, but there are now more and more options that can be mixed with your smart-casual work outfit. The key is matching your backpack with a jacket or suit, and completing the look with sneakers, not leather loafers.
Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2015
Cross-body
While backpacks are stealing the limelight at the moment, Louise Vuitton’s spring/summer 2015 collection and Lemaire’s spring/summer 2016 range show that the cross-body bag is on the way in. So, grab one before everyone else does—just make sure your bag doesn’t droop past your hipline so it doesn’t look like a daggy satchel.
