Creating any look is not an easy task. Things get complicated at times when creating a business image for a working woman. And it's not easy at all if the employer has entered a strict dress code. Associating accessories with an already created clothing style is a separate topic. In this article, we'll show you how to choose a bag that will suit almost any situation.
Definitely, this is not a 10x20 cm rectangle with which young people now run. In fact, a lot of requirements are imposed on a real business bag: reliability, capacity, versatility. As a rule, a good, high-quality item cannot be cheap, the same goes for a good bag. Therefore, it is better to spend once on a good model than constantly “supplement” your image with compromise and controversial options. As Coco Chanel said: "Fashion, like architecture, is a matter of proportions." So let's look at and figure out what a modern business woman's bag should be.
Roominess
In the current age of information technology development, “papers” have been replaced by a full-fledged workplace with all the necessary information in the form of a laptop or tablet, which should be almost always at hand. Therefore, it is advisable to make a start in choosing an accessory from the diagonal of your work gadget. Since paper media are not quite a thing of the past yet, a business bag must “be able” to accommodate itself and documents, and this is almost always A4 format. It would be nice to analyze what things you take with you every day: a cosmetic bag, personal hygiene items, a purse, a planner ... Of course, all this should fit into your bag.
Topicality
If you want to buy a really high-quality thing that will be “fashionable forever,” and not just one season, you will have to pay attention to the classic styles. They will always be out of time and changing fashion. Strong rectangular business bags with small handles are very popular. Even if you are not accustomed to spending your time on tracking current trends, buying dozens of fashion magazines, it is easier to keep track of what’s current than it seems. Just subscribe to several sites about fashion and be aware of all that is relevant and at the peak.
Convenience
First of all, you should be comfortable. Few will regularly use an uncomfortable thing. Therefore, you need to treat this parameter with due respect and attention. Considering that you have to carry a lot of things in it, it should be light (up to 800 grams) and with comfortable handles - the bag should not be a burden for you, but should be conveniently placed in your hand or on your shoulder. Usually these are short handles and a long additional one, usually removable. This option will make your life easier when, for example, your hands should be free. If you move a little aside from the women's classics, perhaps a good portfolio will suit you, which perfectly suits the office style.
Practicality
If you want the bag to “walk” well, does not change shape and color, and lasts a long time, you need to make sure that it is made of high quality materials. For example, business bags made of genuine leather are among the most practical. Suede is also able to withstand time and keep its presentable look long enough. But suede needs more careful care. We must not forget about such a nuisance as sudden, unplanned incidents in the form of spots. The material should be well cleaned from stains. By purchasing a more expensive one, then you will say thank you to yourself, when, before an important meeting, spilling, for example, coffee, you quickly remove the stain, instead of reproaching yourself for the allowed savings.
Not striking
To come to a business meeting with a parrot-colored bag and with pink fur, of course, is beautiful, but does not really fit into the rules of good form. Therefore, when choosing a color, it is best to be guided by the color of your already assembled wardrobe. Usually business style assumes dark colors. Most often, it is black and blue. You need to analyze your own wardrobe and your own preferences and choose a bag that will look harmonious with those business looks that you compose in the morning. And yes, beauty lies in simplicity. Therefore, there are fewer rivets, zippers, buttons and other decorations, because it does not always look expensive and appropriate.
