The briefcase
Perhaps the most traditional and widely-accepted type of bag for men. The briefcase is a classic and sturdy accessory for the businessman who is carrying extremely important information. These is a work-only bag and should only be paired with business attire.
The messenger bag

And, with so many styles and designs, you can find a messenger for any outfit and occasion.
This less formal version of the messenger bag is the the newsboy bag. It has been said that this is one of the oldest forms of bags, which was originally used by carriers to hold newspapers. This casual bag is perfect for trekking across campus, however, it’s great for dudes who want to make a savvy fashion statement.
The tech bag
We are pretty much talking about cases and bags whose sole purpose is to hold your laptops, tablets or smartphones. Perfect if you only need a bag to transport your favorite gadgets.
The duffel bag / holdall
It doesn´t matter what you call this bag, it is essential for the traveling man. Whether you are going to work, the gym or leaving on a jet plane, a duffel bag is a great multipurpose bag that you should invest in. However, make sure you ditch that old nylon gym bag and go with a canvas or cotton option. This allows you to pair this bag with either business casual or weekend attire.
The tote bag
This basic design is the contemporary take on the briefcase. And, don´t worry, the open-top tote doesn´t make you any less of a man. These soft leather bags go nicely with business-casual attire and have plenty of room to store documents or a bagged lunch. And, you can even use a tote if you’re going away for the weekend.
The backpack
If you are not using the same backpack from high school and/or college, it is acceptable to sport a backpack. Besides being very room – remember all those textbooks you used to stuff in a backpack?- a backpack can be thrown over your shoulders so that your hands are completely free. Perfect for travel and more casual work environments.
