The manly bag
The metrosexual man might have laid claim to the rise of the man bag in the early noughties (we’re talking about you, Beckham), but stylish men from Hollywood’s golden age were always fond of a smart briefcase, portfolio or carry-on. Nowadays, an ‘anything goes’ approach applies, but temper the colour to something more muted to keep things classic, and explore hands-free cross-body bags and rucksacks with smart attire alongside the more classic variants.
