Making a Yellow Backpack Your Signature

Backpacks are practically ubiquitous these days, and we can’t blame the millions who choose to wear them for their style, practicality and health benefits. But all too often, people choose backpacks in such similar, boring shades of grey and black that it’s a wonder one can distinguish theirs from all the others—that is, unless you choose to make your backpack a statement piece.

A bright yellow backpack is hard to miss in a crowd. When people see it, they’ll think of you—and you should never underestimate the value of a personal style signature.

Neon

Neon yellow might be an aggressive color, but it’s a great choice for a backpack for a number of reasons. For one, neon is highly visible even at night, making your midnight walk or bike ride a little safer just by virtue of its own brightness. Second, it’s a sporty color that looks just right on a nylon gym bag. Finally, though it might seem to clash with your look, you’ll be surprised at how well neons match just about anything, from a camel coat to your boyfriend jeans.

Canary

A positive, fun-loving person like you deserves a backpack as happy as your personality. Canary yellow is like pure, condensed sunshine, and when applied to a sturdy leather backpack, it gives any look an air of revelry and mischief. Play off the English university student look by pairing a yellow leather backpack with a tweed jacket, button-down and cropped pants—vintage road bike optional.

Butter

Mild, lovable and pillowy soft, a buttery yellow canvas backpack is like a pastel dream. When you buy one in durable, washable canvas, you’ll get all the utility and hardiness of a great backpack with the sweetness and atypicality of a pastel. Perfect for sunny beach days and those first sweet days of springtime, a butter-yellow backpack practically screams for a floral minidress and denim jacket.

Whether you go for a backpack in luxe leather or sporty nylon, we heartily recommend taking a chance on a yellow version. It’s a statement-making basic that will totally upgrade your whole look.

Make a yellow backpack your thing.
