A school bag or backpack should be large enough to hold many books, durable, and containing enough compartments for extra storage. But you cannot forget, a backpack must be fashionable and functional as well. Many students around campus opt for the “tote” bag instead of the traditional backpack. Although carrying a heavy tote around on one shoulder can get a little heavy at times, looking cute is worth it, isn’t it?
Some amazing tote bag suggestions are Marc by Marc Jacobs nylon tote. This tote can sustain just about any type of weather condition and is completely functional. It also contains plenty of pockets for extra storage space. Speaking as someone who owns this bag, I highly recommend it. Not only do I use this bag to hold my books, but I use it as an overnight bag as well. Other brands such as LeSportsac also make tons of fun and original bags with endless choices of prints available.
The CollegeFashionista pictured is wearing a tote from Banana Republic. The size of this bag is perfect because you can easily fit books, a laptop, and whatever else you need inside! Purchasing a tote with a neutral color such as tan or pewter would be a great choice. By doing this, you can then make the bag a permanent accessory all year long because the color will be acceptable for all four seasons. As you can see, the CollegeFashionista’s tote helps her outfit look complete and put together! Overall, looking cute for class is worth a little agony! No one said beauty isn’t painful!
