The Mens Leather Bag Rulebook
October 16, 2015 3:07 pm Leave your thoughtsHere’s how to wear your mens leather bag in a stylish manner, fit for the discerning gentleman.
For some gentlemen, holding a bag feels alien-like. Accustomed to a daily routine of carrying possessions around in multiple pockets, a bag is a leap into unknown territory. Incorporating a new dimension to your look, it can transform you into a classic, worldly dresser – a man who really knows about style.
A ‘man bag’ is usually perceived to be lacking in the masculinity department. Think Alan from The Hangover and you are on the right track. It’s true – choose the wrong style, wear it incorrectly and your sartorial bag game will appear rather dysfunctional. Stay loyal to these four simple rules and wear your leather bags with poise.
Rule #1 Wear a Briefcase by your side
A simple way to carry a briefcase bag such as The Calvino, holding your bag by your side is conventional and business-appropriate. Want to mix things up a bit? Thread your suit jacket through the handles (a decent quality suit will easily allow this).
Rule #2 Wear a Holdall on your shoulder
Feeling confident to pull this one off? The correct bag is vital – too small and you risk looking like you’re donning a handbag. This look works seamlessly with a large holdall, such as The FleroL – wear on the shoulder using the adjustable strap.
Rule #3 Wear a Satchel across your body
Carrying a satchel bag like the The Jesolo 2 across the body with a long strap is a sure-fire way to create a relaxed look, apt for the weekend. Avoid the schoolboy look by ensuring that the body of the bag sits in the curve of your back.
Rule #4 Wear a Portfolio Case under your arm
This season’s must-have leather accessory, a slimline business case such as The Barolo, will update your smart-casual wardrobe. Paired with a structured coat, hold in the nook of your arm just as you’d carry a newspaper for a relaxed and contemporary look.
