Style and fashion aren’t limited to what’s on your chest, rear and feet. It’s also what luggage, gym bag or laptop bag you’ve got in your hand. Just ask George Clooney. beso was thrilled to have a guest contributor bring us up to speed on women’s luggage. But what about the men? Not all of us have George Clooney’s costumer, much less his Oscars, of course. So if you’re a busy guy on the go, what do you need to pull out of your storage closet?
Aston Gym Bag
#1) The Aston Leather Gym Bag : Sure, gym bags often conjure up images of sweat and personal recrimination, but all duffel bags are not created equal. And this one will make you feel like a million bucks, even as you take care to keep your sweaty hands off its supple leather lining at the end of a tough workout. At $338 from luggage.com, make sure you treat it with care.
#2) Kenneth Cole Reaction Messenger Bag : I’ve previously extolled the virtues of the gorgeous Jack Georges laptop bag, but Kenneth Cole does a great job with leather products, and this is the perfect computer bag when you’re headed to the office.
Go Lite Carry-On Bag
#3) Go Lite Carry-On Bag : How many times have you debated: should I stuff this novel I’ll never read into my carry-on bag, or will that make it so heavy that I’m going to be grumpy during this whole, tiresome airport experience? Go-Lite has come up with a reliable carry on bag with straps. Not quite a backpack, and not quite a suitcase. Somewhere in the middle, but it’ll make the long travel day go a lot faster.
#4) Tumi Luggage : This has long been my favorite brand of luggage, with their lifetime guarantee and wonderful customer service. Their bags last forever, which is a large part of the reason they never come cheap. However, eBags has some good deals, like the Tumi wheeled garment bags.
And, of course, don’t forget no. 5…
#5) The Man Bag : No, it’s not a “murse”, and it doesn’t make you any less manly. How many of us have compared our fat, bulging wallets with our friends? Ok, that wasn’t an unfortunate double entendre, but rather, an invitation to carry all those credit cards, grocery store value cards and IDs in one convenient place. And it even has a key chain to go along with its industrial strength shoulder strap, for those who need the extra power while fending off the fawning women this bag will attract.
