black backpacks

Backpacks in black are a practical choice for hikers or outdoors types looking for a pack that won't show the dirt too obviously. For the fashion-conscious, a black backpack can also be a cool accessory to go with that black hoodie or T-shirt and the matching cargo pants. From branded versions to plain, utilitarian backpacks, a wide range is showcased on the Stylight site.

What’s In Your Little Black Backpack?

A black backpack is the utilitarian answer to any sartorial woe—it’s portable, it’s fashionable and it’s ready to take whatever you can throw at it. Ranging from super-luxe to pure function, there’s a black backpack for everyone.

You can tell a lot about a person from their bag, but it’s what’s inside that counts. Here are our guesses as to what’s going on beneath each backpack’s surface.

Minimalist

A minimal dresser like you knows that beauty lies in simplicity. You eschew all decorative frippery in favor of a pared-down look that puts the emphasis on shape and color alone. Your black backpack is, naturally, simple—a leather folio that goes perfectly with your cocoon coat, turtleneck and skinny pants.

What’s inside: A plain leather-bound notebook and fountain pen, round sunglasses, a black folio wallet, and nothing else.

Hiking

The great outdoors regularly calls your name, and who are you to deny it? A proper hiking bag is essential to your safety and success on the mountain, so be sure to invest in one that stands up to the test of time. Go for a black bag that won’t mark up easily and goes with everything you wear, from your fleece jacket to your hiking boots.

What’s inside: Protein bars, turpentine, a canteen, a tent, thermal leggings, a Swiss Army knife, a flashlight and a great book.

Super-Luxe

You only go for the creme de la creme, and that means designer duds or go home. Don’t settle for anything less than luxury when it comes to your backpack—stick to lambskin leather and high-end touches like goat hair, quilting, gold hardware or logo prints to keep things looking chic. Pair with a fur-trim vest and designer heels to complete the look.

What’s inside: Designer sunglasses, a blinged-out cell phone case, sushi leftovers from Nobu, a chihuahua wearing a Burberry coat.

Canvas

You’re an eternal learner, even if you left school long ago. That means that you never go anywhere without a great book and a notepad to jot down your many incisive thoughts. Stick to a school-kid classic with a canvas bag that can go in the wash when your pen leaks.

What’s inside: Books, notebooks, pens, highlighters, a laptop, and a healthy snack.

No matter your style, your black backpack can carry everything you need for the day. Invest in one that meets your specifications.

You can’t hide what’s inside.
