Chic Carryalls for Class

Hauling heavy books and school essentials doesn’t need to cramp your style.

Consider selecting a school bag based on how much you take to class. If your load is lighter, you’ll have more flexibility with the style bag you can choose.

Instead of hauling around a backpack, try a tote on for size.

If your outfit is minimal, a printed tote adds a great punch of pattern. Basic totes in colors such as tan, black, brown or gray are ideal investment pieces because they will virtually go with anything.

Totes are perfect not only for class but for traveling and shopping as well.

For those hefty loads, a flimsy tote just won’t cut it. Backpacks often get a bad rap, but now there are styles for just about anyone.

Look to The North Face backpacks, my number one pick for high quality, comfort and wide style selection.

For a sophisticated look canvas and leather backpacks are personal favorites. The mix of luxury leather in an unexpected, casual backpack shape makes an interesting contrast that works great with any look.
