Women’s backpacks: know how to bet on the accessory

The belief that backpacks are for children has already fallen apart in the fashion world. Nowadays, with the need to carry more and more things around, including your notebook, tablet or both, backpacks are especially useful for women not only in casual moments or travel, but also in the work, academic and routes through the city.

The accessory is great for those who like to have everything at hand and value comfort, and it gives a cool and contemporary look to the look, combining especially with women with a more sporty and modern style.

As opposed to the side bag or crossbody bags, more common female models, the backpack has the advantage of better distributing the weight on the back, avoiding that characteristic pain in the shoulders of those who usually carry many objects in the bag. In addition, the model tends to be more functional than common bags due to the greater number of pockets and compartments that suit the specific needs of women.

Tips for getting the backpack right

The backpack is adaptable for different occasions and environments, it all depends on the material of the same and the style of the person who uses it. Image consultant Alessandra Moriya gives 5 accurate tips for those who want to bet on the model with comfort and style:

1. Choose the right model. When buying, pay attention to the material, whether it is quality, durable and fits the style you need, and check the pockets, zippers and details. Everything must be in order.

2. For work, go leather. Also, if the environment is more formal, bet on neutral colors. Opt for models that have specific compartments for a notebook, tablet or whatever you need to take to the office. For those who carry this type of object, the consultant recommends double attention to the issue of closure: “For safety, it is always better to opt for backpacks that have a zipper closure”, she points out.

3. On a daily basis, be relaxed! Materials such as denim, canvas and cotton are ideal for freer environments and less formal looks. “Opt for strong colors that contrast with the look, or even prints. Florals make the look more romantic, and ethnic prints, polka dots or stripes are also great options for a cheerful and relaxed look”, explains Alessandra.

4. Match with the correct accessories. Compositions with backpacks, regardless of the environment frequented or the model of the same, should be more casual. The other accessories of the production need to harmonize with this idea, so it’s better to keep that heavy heel and bet on sneakers, sneakers, boots, sandals with wedge heels, among others that keep the casual touch in the look.

5. Beware of aspect ratio and placement. The size of the backpack should be in line with your physical stature so as not to take the proportion out of the look. Also, the straps must be adjusted to position the piece in the correct way: “It is necessary to be careful with the height that the backpack will be, so that the look is not sloppy instead of cool. The straps should be more adjusted, preventing the end of the backpack from being on top of the butt”, teaches the consultant.
