What's Your Summer Bag Style?

Backpacks are handy. Crossbody bags are cool. But totes prevent sweat spots.

When it comes to hauling your stuff this summer, stylish guys seem to fall into three camps: you either want your hands-free with a sleek backpack or cross-body bag, or you're the type that prefers a more classic tote style. A streamlined backpack lets you haul a whole lot of stuff, all while keeping your hands-free to scroll through your phone. The cross-body pretty much does the same thing, on a smaller scale and a knowing nod to the streetwear that influenced the belted bag's return. A tote, on the other hand, has a smart, continental style to it and tends to look a bit more relaxed. So, which will you choose?

Keep a mindful eye on your carryall's contents. Once a week, take everything out of your bag, flip it upside down to shake out any dust, dirt and inexplicable debris that has accumulated.
