Choose Bag When One is a Man-Part 2

And my phone?

I will not teach you much, but there are very light and thin models, even for smartphones. It's not really a solution, but I very often mine in the palm of my hand when I'm on the move, metro / etc and as soon as I reach my destination I put it somewhere at the table. coffee or on a coffee table for example. Hence the interest of having a nice!

To choose a man's bag

If we carry more things?

Come a moment or you can not just reduce, like a mountaineer, the weight and volume of what you lug. Whether it's a camera, your mp3 player, a book, what you have to give back to your buddy, letters to post, or the notebook in which you write down all your life, their format now requires you to transport them when something you will wear either by hand or on your back: a man's bag . So let's go through your different options

The shopping bag/shop:

Not bad, but then you have to choose the sign. Avoid big brands like Givenchy, Dior, etc., you will look too boastful. You have to look out of the shop, the bag must be nickel, and preferably not too big. Take a shop a little underground, an unknown brand, it will pass all the better.

A satchel or a shoulder bag:

It is a good solution under 30 years, or if your environment allows you. But for pity's sake, do not wear it crossed, put the band on the same side as your bag! And choose your Bullcaptain Shoulder Bag well: sober colors, well tuned to your outfit, no logo light, and especially with beautiful materials. It is allowed to wear a bag, but only if it is pretty. Something of this style will do the trick:

A man's handbag:

Very risky. I do not advise you unless you are perfectly sure of what you are doing, and in this case, you will not need my advice to choose it.

A leather briefcase:

Yes, leather. Obviously. It's a good way to get to work, of course, or if you're going to graduate school, but when it comes to other opportunities I do not like it very much, I take myself seriously". No, really, if what you need to carry is quite fine, like some books or documents, before asking you how to choose a man's bag,  I advise you to buy a document pocket, leather. You know, it's slightly larger than an A4 sheet, with a buckle closure or zip, but does not have a handle. You must wear it directly by hand. It's both sober and original, like many good things.

Conclusion

The man's bag, yes, but it's not automatic! Try once to leave your home without a bag, without filled pockets, t-shirt or shirt, and enjoy because we feel so much better. You will finally be able to put your hands in the pockets!

Choose Bag When One is a Man-Part 1

This is a question I have heard many times, a problem that has all happened to us. A puzzle a priori without solution: a man must he take a bag to carry his things? If so, how to choose a man's bag?

Indeed, it would be forbidden to put things in the pockets of his jeans, because it leaves traces of wear and hurt, but also in the pockets of his jacket because it deforms them. We do not all want to walk around with a purse for fear of appearing effeminate / to be spoofed, but who wants to carry a backpack schoolboy?  Or a briefcase that can be too serious at your age (for those under 25) or even total shift with your environment?

We are soon in summer, you can not put a little bit of everything in each pocket of your jacket or coat (technical, by the way, not bad at all in the genre "damage control") so we will have to find Something. I do not claim to have any miracle solution, I will give you my little tips that will not revolutionize your wardrobe (once is not custom;)) but I hope you will simplify your life from time to time.

Before talking about choosing a man's bag

Do you really need all this?

I am often amazed at the makeover by the size of my clients' cool men wallets. Some seem to want to be ready for any eventuality; they barely carry survival rations and a safety knife. Ask yourself what you will do with your day, and take only the bare essentials! a wallet is forbidden in a denim or jacket pocket, but a cardholder may well passive it does not contain 50. You can even put your driver's license in if you dare to bend it. I must even confess that sometimes I do not take a cardholder. I have my transport card, my credit card, both in a very thin plastic bag in the left pocket of my jeans. I avoid doing this when I go on a date because it's always better to take a little something out of your pocket rather than a Navigo map glued to a blue card, but apart from that, why bother yourself.

Yes but my keys, my money?

If like me you often put jeans, I have a little tip for you. You know this little pocket included in the right pocket of the jeans? I never see anyone using it, yet it has become indispensable to me. Up to a dozen rooms and two / three keys, it is perfect because its narrowness means that what you put in will not slip in favor of squatting, and its shallow depth prevents you from looking in for three hours. Of course, if you live in a castle and the key to your portal is already 200 grams, you can forget this solution.

But then, and the identity card?

I must admit that, even if it's not good, I never take my ID unless I know I'll need it (transfer to do, recommended to remove ..). Have you ever been checked in the street? I and none of my friends have ever been to.
