4 Reasons Backpacks Aren’t Just For High School

Those days when you just had to have the newest color Jansport may be long-gone, but backpacks are still ubiquitous across generational lines, and for good reason. Michael Kors’ line of little leather backpacks proves that the school-style tote can still be relevant.

Why trigger flashbacks of the worst time of your life? Because this time, you get to do backpacks right. Let us give you four good reasons to rock this back-to-school accessory, without having to go back to school.

Stay Young

You may have lost that sense of childlike wonder that your now-embittered spirit kind of misses, but you don’t have to dress like you’re a hardened cynic. With its thin straps and simplistic design, the Michael Kors backpacks are elegant enough to make you feel like a woman, regardless of the fact that you’re essentially wearing a style sported by teens around the world. Feed the neglected child that’s still hiding somewhere within you and grab a Kors bag now.

Accessorize Painlessly

Shoulder bags are our go-to bags but, let’s face it, they’re awful for our posture. We do our best to stay poised and appear unaffected during the day, but as soon as we cross the threshold of our home and dump our luggage, every bone in our torso screams at us in protest. A Michael Kors backpack is a great alternative to the shoulder bag, without having to compromise on style. Avoid the hunched-over, lopsided look and give your joints a break.

Ever-Ready

No matter where you’re going, you can grab your Michael Kors backpack and hasten out the door. It works for a cross-country road trip, or window shopping at your local mall. You can carry it on an international flight, or to a picnic in the nearest park. With its texture-rich leather and metallic detailing, it’s also appropriate for more formal events, like dinner parties. No matter the adventure you’re about to embark on, an MK backpack will be the perfect companion.

Sport Luxe

Michael Kors uses this term to describe his bag, and it’s so accurate. The backpack nature of the bag gives it an athletic edge while the classic sophistication of the design keeps it fancy. Looking for a more glamorous alternative to your old gym bag? This piece is just what you need. Wear it with workout leggings, a strappy-back gym bra under a lightweight keyhole tee and comfy sneakers, and you’ll be the epitome of “sport luxe”.

High school wasn’t a good time for anyone—even if you were one of the popular kids, you probably still unabashedly rocked trends that you now wince at. Backpacks don’t have to be one of those flinch-worthy, far-off memories. Carry a backpack unapologetically with an elegant Michael Kors.

You don’t have to revisit the repressed memories of high school to rock an MK backpack.
