10 Stylish backpacks to own this season
Rugged cool
When it comes to toting around your essentials with ease and flair, the backpack is a trusty go-to for a good many reasons. Roomy to boot and convenient to chuck around your everyday items (from gym clothes to your laptop) the backpack trumps other transient, currently-trending bags — whether the pint-sized bumbag or rain-proof designer plastic bags.
This season, backpacks are taking on a street-certified aesthetic with lightweight nylon options, including Prada's fun robot-appliqué pack and Balenciaga's logomanic, statement-making version in bright red. Kitsch comes in the form of quirky motifs in sprightly colours, from Bally's beetle-printed backpack to Coach's artistic take on this multifunctional silhouette, in collaboration with artist Keith Haring. Speaking of colours, make a backpack your standout accessory with Longchamp's Ruban Backpack, or a more pared-back sentiment with Dunhill's khaki-green Radial Rucksack.
