It's in the bag: 7 men's Black bags for A/W

"It's in the bag": 7 Black bags for A/W

Menswear has moved on considerable with the perseverance of breaking gender stereotypes and the birth of 'Metrosexuality'.

Man isn't plagued with compelling himself to be associated with a briefcase. He is now entitled to explore his individuality with his choice in clothing but mainly accessories. From briefcase to rucksack and in later years the 'Man-bag' to the 'Man Clutch' (By which I mean document case). Man is openly allowed to express the freedom of metrosexuality through his essential choices.

Black Leather is the key piece for menswear accessories this A/W, here's my favourite picks from the designer collections:

1. Versace Backpack

Black and gold work perfectly to create this chunky wonder.

Even with its details, fastening and a Medusa pendant this stocky bag

is masculine built.

2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Backpack

Basic, nothing more; Nothing less.

3. Neil Barrett Quilted Backpack.

Has the presence of a grenade and sure to create a bang.

4. 3.1 Phillip Lim

Second Phillip Lim piece to make the list. Shaped with stylish practicality, this one is the more savvy choice.

5. Burberry Prorsum Tote Bag.

Tote bags, you either love them or you hate them. I'm enjoying this piece from Burberry, picture it teamed with a cropped trouser and a relaxed fit t-shirt.

6. Diesel Backpack.

This bags details of flat studs and silver hardware make great detail for this unstructured bag. Great piece for winter with a heavy duty Parker coat and some chunky boots.

7. Jimmy Choo Document case.

Who said a man can't carry a Jimmy Choo? This crocodile embossed document case probably isn't for the faint hearted but it sure come with some bite.
