Backpacks are the crucial accessory for all college students. Not only do they carry your textbooks and laptop, but they also reflect your personal style. Think about it: you pass by hundreds of peers everyday and you know nothing about them. Sometimes the only things you can vaguely remember are their faces and the back of their heads as they scurry off to class. You see a plethora of The North Face and Jansport backpacks in front of you, rarely any Fjällräven bags and a few Herschel backpacks here and there. Even these name brand bags can give you a series of little details about that person and their particular sense of style. Although it may seem shallow, that Nike, Vera Bradley or messenger backpack you wear everyday makes a first impression on people, allowing them to determine if you are sporty, preppy or even trendy.
This Fashionista portrayed her edgy nature with a black leather backpack. This accessory made a statement on its own, as it emanated a sleek and stylish look with its zippered pockets and drawstring touch. She paired the bag with a royal blue peacoat, knit infinity scarf, tights and leather platform sneakers. Her backpack matched her shoes perfectly in both color and texture, which ultimately brought her outfit together.
How To: Sometimes your cute outfit is sacrificed for comfort because it is hidden behind banal puffer coats and parkas and you are unable to express your personality clearly. Strangers have no idea how stylish you really are. One simple solution is to select a backpack or bag that resonates with your personal style, as it can overpower your mundane outerwear and shine as bright as your character.
