There’s a distinct difference between your brain on
the sunshine effect with pool parties, warm weather and when your brain
connects with fall and winter time. The weather changes, coats are a must have
and hot chocolate becomes your best friend. To add to this change of scenery,
you become more amped up for a ready to work state of mind. The right accessory
can be a life changing moment. Since the 1990s,
designers have marketed a more diverse range of accessory bags for men. The
names man-purse and murse have been used quite often. The designs
are typically variations on backpacks or messenger bags, and have either a
masculine or a more unisex appearance, although they are often more streamlined
than a backpack and less bulky than a briefcase. It seems the demand is rather
strong after several years of popularity, possibly supported by the growing
range of modern electronic devices men carry with them.
Men's designer bags are produced by
well-known companies such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Bottega Veneta
in a variety of shapes and sizes. The need to organize one's belongings is
universal; thus handbags exist in differing forms in cultures around the world.
People have been quite clever in thinking of ways to use the materials at hand
to create their bags; this shows the true evolution that is the man bag. Even
if you are sporting a perfectly tailored suit, you can sneakily get away with
carrying a bag. That’s because the humble tote bag has transformed, from a drab
briefcase old fashioned style to a luxurious go all over, do anything carryall.
These roomy new bags have all the functionality you need to survive a
day of work, gym, and adult sleepover. And with classic silhouettes, graphics,
and a variety of cool textures, they have enough style to keep heads rolling
for months while living it up in the city.
When it comes to fashion it is always
important to experiment and try something not traditional. Men are starting to
adapt more when it comes to using accessories to complete a stylish look. Fall
fashion week was no exception to the chic boys turning out some nice styles.
The best part about LCM was defiantly the boys! Oh I mean the totes were dope
this season. Back in the day, you were told to always match your briefcase to
your suit. For 2016, that has changed in the best way possible. To hell with
matching when you can bring your own flavour to the dish by mixing it up. Most
importantly, go with your gut when it comes to accessorizing.
Part of the appeal is having a bag that never looks
out of place. You can carry one straight from your day job and transition to a
night time chill factor. Be different gents, when it comes to trying new things
being bold is always on the menu. If you are willing to wear pinstripe trousers
or crazy blazers with a graphic effect, then you can handle tossing a snakeskin
tote over your shoulder.
Here is a style of tote for every type of guy who
needs something to make many lads totally envy you on the street.

Totes are not just for women anymore, instead of
carrying around a typical briefcase. Men are starting to take the more casual
route and stick with a good old fashioned tote.
From traditional neutral colours, to unusual
patterns. Having a fun styled tote can speak volumes about your personality.
