Smart office attire goes from head to toe, and that includes a briefcase, of course.
Long gone are the days of standardized carryalls; rather, embracing the many looks and uses of briefcases can allow you to add versatility and personality to your 9 to 5. We’ve selected some stylish options for the airport, the boardroom and everywhere in between.
1. Sleek Silver
Hearken back to the days of “Mad Men” with this bold but minimalist design that’s updated to include space for a laptop. If you want to make a sharp but stylish statement, this Solo Pro Laptop Attache is the way to go. Don Draper would certainly approve.
2. Luxury Leather
A traditional leather briefcase in a quintessential chestnut color gets a modern update with a messenger-style strap. Carry this McKlein case or throw it over your shoulder when you’re on the go for style and substance all at once. Plus, like a fine wine, leather often gets even better with age.
3. Brilliant Black
Black is a definitive briefcase color, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. With a fresh flap detail, this Classic Leather Flapover bag by Samsonite is fashionable and functional. Not only will it age well, it will also never go out of style.
4. Cool Canvas
When you can’t decide between classic and contemporary, why choose at all? Mix and match both in a bag like this, with tried-and-true leather handles and an updated green waxed canvas texture. With a suede interior and antique hardware accessories, this Aviator brief by Satchell & Page is perfect for the forward-thinking traditionalist.
5. Bold Blue
If you have the opportunity to express yourself, why not take it? A boldly colored bag with an upscale, chic design, like this bright blue Delsey number, can offer punch and personality for your next trip to the boardroom. Make an impression they’ll never forget.
