FASHION and STYLE

 

Research as made it known that Young folks(teenagers/young adults/adults) have been linked with the messenger bag,being their trademark for quite some time now.You may ask 'a trademark in what way'?;A trademark in the context that it is very popular among them and tis the bag most of them are seen with.From the brief introduction centred upon the subject matter of this post,we can decipher that,there must be a reason behind the messenger bag being tagged as a trademark bag for young folks,and on this note was the title of the post culled from; MESSENGER BAG:A UNIQUE MULTIPURPOSE BAG.


   Before i go into details about thhe bag,lets have a n overview knowledge and a brief description of the MESSENGER BAG.The name 'MESSENGER' should have given us a fore-idea of what the bag entails;Although bags,generally are used for carrying stuffs around,the same goes for the messenger bag,but unlike the previous post,in which the BRIEFCASE should strictly and only be carried on the ARM,the reverse goes for the messenger bag.Its clearly stated and commonly seen that the messenger bag is mostly carried on the shoulder for safety,omfortability and style.
  Above all the things mentioned above,there are few reasons why the messenger bag is a unique multipurpose bag.We can see that there are two adjectives embedded in the title of the post,namely: UNIQUE and MULTIPURPOSE.


  You may ask,WHY IS THE BAG UNIQUE; It is unique not for anything else,but the fact that it doesnt only exist in the leather version,rather it exists in two other versions,the CANVAS version and the NYLON version.
LEATHER


CANVAS


NYLON


   Fine,we have cleared why the messenger bag is unique,so we now move on to why it is a MULTIPURPOSE BAG.Have you ever searched  for a fashionable,stylish,cool,durable and strong bag?.sure you will find many,but the MESSENGER BAG takes it distintion in multipurposity,cause it can be used to carry not just a particular item,rather it an carry and accomodate various items like laptop,books,papers,and snacks with so muh ease.




  Prove the multipurposity of a messenger bag by trying it out;Goodnews! you do not have to be coporate before you can carry a messenger bag,Casual looks are also a YES for MESSENGER BAGS.

  
 The BRIEFCASE as raised quite a number of controversies in the fashion industry as to it considered either as a fashionable bag or a random/normal/secular bag,it doesnt end on that note,it also evolves around it either as a very old/ancient bag or a modern bag that's been carried most especially to work/office,court,etc.


   There are no surprises concerning this controversies,because they were all borne out of ignorance,and for this cause,I have decided to clear the air and give insight on what it means to define your Masculinity with a BRIEFCASE.



   The BRIEFCASE has broken out of the confines of it being tagged as a bag used by certain professionals(lawyers,bankers,etc.)/specific people,or been regarded as a bag only for the old folks,too heavy and old to be carried about,rather it has been rebranded not by look,but by orientation of the mind.,and that's the major reason it is now considered to be FASHIONABLE.



  You may ask,''how does it define your masculinity?'';It sure does,because from the look and origin,it has been structured,constructed and framed in such a way that it compliments your physique,balances your look,and puts that BOSSY feeling in you when you put on a BRIEF CASE.





  And for the DEFINITION of your MASCULINITY to be unique and different from others;here are few tips on how to go about it.
  The briefcase should:
   STRICTLY be worn on corporate outfits(say NO to casuals while carrying a BRIEFCASE,it depreciates the presence of the briefcase.)

  STRICTY be carried on either your left/right hand,not to be carried on the shoulder.

  Any man of fashion knows that bags have become a necessary tool and style accessory. No longer seen as solely a woman’s item, men’s bags are masculine, attractive and ideal additions to any contemporary wardrobe. If you would like to dabble in the wide world of men’s bags, but don’t quite know which one would suit your needs best, heed this advice: Stick with a classic type of men's bag, and you can’t go wrong.
The following are six types of men's bags that can be easily mixed and matched with your business and casual wardrobes

1- Briefcase

Briefcases are probably the oldest form of “acceptable” handbags for men. Modern-day briefcases, however, have evolved a great deal since the days of your father’s sharp-cornered case. They’re no longer boxy; in fact, that’s about the only traditional element discarded in the modern briefcase. The classic shape (without the sharp corners), buckles, leather exterior, and practical interior compartments help make this bag a timeless addition to any working-man’s wardrobe. Carry with: Business attire

2- Messenger bag

Aptly named, the messenger bag is designed after the bags traditionally carried throughout history by — whom else? — messengers. Often made from canvas and swung across the shoulder, messenger bags have taken on a whole new meaning in urban fashion. From students with canvas bags to urban hipsters with modern leather bags, the messenger’s laid-back style will always have a classic casual flair, but today’s leather messenger tote also exudes a hint of uptown sophistication. Carry with: Slick street clothes

3- Holdall/Weekend

Any traveling man needs a holdall for those weekend jaunts or three-day business trips. Big, bulky luggage has transformed into sleek, stylish holdalls (or carryalls). Its design is inspired by the duffel bag, but its predominantly leather exterior and more refined appearance attribute a classic look to this practical tote. Carry with: Casual weekend wear, business-casual attire

4- Camera bag

A smaller version of the messenger bag, a camera bag is a longer rectangular bag that is meant to be strapped across the shoulders. Convenient for tourists, but good for any man on the go, a camera bag is a discreet but severely stylish way to lug around your belongings. What makes the camera bag stand out as a classic men's bag is its ability to bring a touch of masculinity to an outfit, even if it is hanging from your shoulder. It’s a simple style with a whole lot of function. Carry with: Leisure wear

5- Tote

A tote is the modern approach to the classic briefcase. Resembling an artisan’s bag, the tote is the utmost in casual business attire. Its basic design and usual soft leather exterior allots it a classic status, while its long handles give it a contemporary edge. If purchased in a chocolate brown or black, this bag can add a touch of laid-back masculinity to any casual work wear. Carry with: Business-casual clothes

6- Newsboy bag

Like the advent of the newsboy cap, the newsboy bag is a classic style that has become synonymous with men’s casual wear. It’s similar to the messenger bag’s style, but its traditional canvas exterior makes it a little less formal than the latter. This bag style is perfect for the student on the go, as it makes a fashion statement and exudes more masculinity and style savvy than a knapsack. Carry with: Campus-chic wear





7- Satchel bag

It is sometimes confused to be a messenger bag,but the difference comes in the size,style and texture of the bag. The satchel bag is variably smaller to a messenger bag,it also entails a unique style that distinguishes it from other bags and finally,it is known for its difference in leather color.
