The humble backpack is the only man bag you’ll need for spring

Putting paid to the infatuation for those across-the-body messenger bags that have been in favour for years now, the backpack, be it in luxurious leather or soft canvas form, has at last made it on to the wardrobe essentials list of every gentleman dresser in the capital. Of course, we’re not talking any old rucksack here but one which demonstrates a savvy approach to both design and practicality.

City boys should seek out streamlined styles in leather while those looking to inject a little quirk into their step should think the brighter the print, the better. Look, no hands!
