5 Reasons you Need a Backpack!

Backpacks, those wonderful storage bags for people on the go, have been a part of all of our lives since we were big enough to strap one on and, lunch bag in hand, head off to school. Go to any campus or campground and you will see backpacks of every size and shape, and in most cases, emphasizing function over style. When I was young it was about how much it could carry, how comfortable it was, and how many pockets it had, but for the most part, my backpack was a canvas bag with shoulder straps. Now, style is finally catching up to function.

1. Fashion Trend

The backpack trend this year is to combine style and function. Why walk around with a drab canvas bag when you can accessorize with a bag that would be just as much at home on a runway as on a city street! In fact, because they now can be found in so many designs and colors, backpacks are now like potato chips, once you have one you want some more! Even big name designers are coming out with bags. Some Valentino backpacks that feature metallic chain straps that offer an interesting contrast to the more traditional leather and suede styles of the bags themselves.

2. High Convenience

The main reason why most folks get a backpack is for the convenience of being able to carry all their essentials with them. These days you probably don’t leave your home without your favorite gadgets, but who wants to load up their pockets and hands with all these items? Wouldn’t you rather have your hands free to do the really important things like text your friends, pick beautiful flowers for your girlfriend, or stop by the coffee shop and enjoy the warmth of the coffee mug in your hands? Your backpack is your constant companion and always willing to carry the load so your hands can stay free. Look for bags that suite your lifestyle and what you plan to carry in them.

3. Alternative wear

Backpacks come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, all designed to comfortably, and ergonomically carry things, but at the same time, different bags have different purposes. Why stay with the same oversized backpack, when a smaller bag is all you need for a night out on the town, or for your travels this summer. Think of the backpack as functional, and stylish alternative to your purse.

4. Casual or Sporty

There is nothing better than an awesome backpack – it’s like instant youth, in the form of a bag. It brings back memories of school days, or traveling to exotic places on spring break! Let’s face it; backpacks say that you are young and playful! Add plastic straps and silver attachments or plush materials and now you have not only turned back the clock, but you’re in style as well. Backpacks are not just for kids, but business folks as well, so keep an eye out for the practical and sophisticated backpack look around the office.

5. Versatility

The great thing about backpacks is their versatility. Sure, it can carry books, computers, and just about anything else that will fit, but it can also be the best gym bag you have, and much more stylish than that old grungy gym bag you are currently embarrassed to be seen with. If you are a mom on the go, what better way to carry all you assorted baby items than a backpack with lots of pockets? Need a laptop holder and purse in one, backpacks have you covered! That’s the magic of the backpack; it can cover all your needs in one convenient bag!
