You Don't Have To Choose Form Over Function With These 10 Laptop Bags

Reality check: September is only nine days away! Back-to-school shopping is probably at the top of your to-do list, which means the hunt for cute laptop bags has officially commenced. Rather than settling for the standard black Jansport, why not opt for something with a bit more personality this year? (No shade to Jansport, I love their bags—I simply toted my own black carryall around for so many years that shaking things up became necessary eventually.)

If you think about it, your school bag is the one sartorial item your peers will see you sporting day in and day out. Your outfits will change daily, but your backpack or tote will not. It's essentially what will define your signature look. Taking this into consideration, doesn't it make sense to search for something that will speak to your personality and style but will also still boast major functionality? From doesn't have to be over function, they can coexist quite excellently. Below are 10 bags of all different styles that will fit your laptop, your textbooks, and whatever else you might be toting. Whether your look is more preppy chic, throwback chill, or edgy cool, I've got your back.

Ivy League

Preppy is the name of the game in terms of this backpack, which features brown leather handles and detailing. Wear it as a backpack or carry it like a bucket bag — the strap choice is up to you.
