Traveling well means being prepared for just about anything, from the time you leave until the moment you return, and this includes being intentional about all of the luggage needed for the journey. Much like with a suitcase or weekender, deciding on which shoulder bag to bring along on your travels requires a fair amount of thinking ahead. Not only is it usually dependent on the destination itself, but I’ve learned that considering the mode of transportation you’ll be using to get there is just as important.
For more active trips that include a lot of time outdoors and exploring nature, something made from weatherproof materials that can be carried a multitude of ways is essential. Work trips where I’ll be running around a big city like Paris for days on end require something chic and cosmopolitan with plenty of storage to hold the essentials. When I fly, I tend to rely heavily on well-organized shoulder bags to ensure my passport, wallet, and phone are easily accessible as I make my way through the airport. Most recently, though, I started carrying something a bit bigger like Coach’s Brooklyn bag—which is my new favorite—to accompany my carry-on. The bag’s shape lets me maximize space while still meeting the airport’s personal item size requirements.
Whether you’re looking for something to carry while en route to your destination, or a style you can wear every day once you’re on the ground, there are plenty of options available for fall. Read on for a full breakdown of our top 10 picks for each occasion, to ensure all of your bases are covered.
