Dapper Bags For Men
If you’re over 21-years-old and consider yourself to be a dapper man, then do not follow this backpack trend. As men, we don’t like to carry a lot of stuff on us. We usually just need our keys, phone, wallet and we’re ready to hit the streets. But what if we go to work? Or go on a weekend getaway? Or need to handle business? Is it dapper to bust out the backpack? Not really. The solution to this problem is buying yourself a dapper bag.
For the Business Man…
If you do business often and need to carry a lot of stuff with you like: tablets, laptops, notebooks, pens, pencils, folders, and books, then the briefcase is best for you. It would be horrible if you show up to a meeting with a backpack–don’t do it. Buy yourself a nice-looking briefcase and look prepared.

For the Road Warrior…
If you are the type of guy that loves to travel at the drop of a dime, then get yourself a duffel bag. A duffel bag should be big enough for you to carry all your clothes and goodies in them. You’re probably used to throwing some clothes in a bag and heading out the door anyway. The duffel bag is perfect for you because it’s big, durable, and sturdy.

For the Weekend Traveler…
If you like to have quick getaways and do it by air, a nice and simple leather carry-on should be good for you. The carry-on bag is small enough to be taken on the airplane and lets you avoid the hassle of always checking in your big suitcase. Your carry-on weekend bag will get the job done and is perfect for those overnighters and two-day getaways.

For the Casual Man…
There will be some days where you’ll be hitting the beach or a BBQ and need to carry some stuff. Get yourself a tote bag and look dapper doing it. A tote bag is very simple: just dump your stuff in the bag like your tablets, magazines, sunscreen, etc., and be on your way. The tote bag is perfect for the laid back dapper man.

There are many different styles you can have with a bag, just make sure you are using the right one for the right occasion. The right bag can make you look extremely dapper and organized if you know when and where to use them. Take Kevin Durant for example, he wears a backpack everywhere he goes–even in post-game interviews. As much as he thinks it looks cool, it is not dapper. It looks as if he’s unprepared and doesn’t care. Don’t make the same mistake as him and look dapper wherever you go!
