Backpacks

Backpacks range from the serious hiker's pack suitable for a lengthy trek over mountain trails to a simple daypack for an afternoon at the beach. Depending on the purpose a backpack can be in leather, canvas or waterproof fabric, with zipped or buckle storage compartments. Options include backpacks created by outdoors equipment specialists to the latest, fashion-conscious lifestyle accessory. The Stylight site rounds up a comprehensive selection of backpacks for any kind of expedition.

School’s Out: Get Going With A Backpack That’s All Grown Up

When life hands you lemons, a pair of sneakers, and a laptop to carry around all day, your small crossbody bag is not going to cut it. School’s been out for a while now, and the thought of investing in a backpack can seem like child’s play.

As an adult, your style is no longer elementary, and your backpack doesn’t have to be either. Consider these four qualities to find a backpack that’s as sophisticated as you are:

Color and Design

Backpacks with kiddy characters have no place in your grown woman wardrobe. Look for a backpack that’s all grown up, like you. Black and brown are never-fails, while muted and pastel colors are a classy choice. Go for  tribal or animal ones that are anything but juvenile.

Hardware

There’s no such thing as having too many zippers and pockets. Yet, the more refined a backpack is as far as the actual hardware goes, the more mature it looks. Silver zippers are common, so go with gold to elevate the overall feel.

Fabric

It’s going to literally have your back day in and day out, so quality is essential. A leather backpack will last longer than its canvas counterpart, while a waterproof backpack made of tarpaulin can weather any storm. Pick a fabric that can handle your lifestyle and everything that comes with it.

Shape and Size

Go big or go medium, depending on your needs. Backpacks come in a variety of shapes that go beyond the one you used during your middle school days. From basic to triangular, briefcase to bucket, the function is still the same: To get you and all your things from point A to Z in style.

There’s no need to schlep your belongings around town any longer. Buy a backpack that you can carry on in and feel like in adult while doing so.
