There is no denying that backpacks are a practical bag for men. But there is also no denying that wearing backpacks in a grownup way is not easy

Since backpacks add a more casual touch to your look, they’re best carried around while you’re wearing a more relaxed combo of shirt and chinos instead of a full-on formal ensemble. A lightweight jacket or blazer can also be a stylish addition.
As for types, sporty-looking bags are obviously not appropriate in an office setting. A leather backpack (yes, these are not as uncommon as one might think) would be infinitely better. Not only do they last longer, leather backpacks also bring out a more polished feel in a contemporary way.
Another recommended alternative would be a mixed material backpack that combines canvas and leather—these two make for an unexpectedly cool combination.
Additionally, this season we are particularly drawn to all kinds of hybrid bags: backpack with tote handles as well as single-strap pack that is smaller and thus much more practical.
