Notice a well-dressed man whose style combines aspects of sophistication and refinement by paying attention to his every detail from head to toe. Observe his business and social circles which also distinguishes themselves with regards to tastes and quality of attire. The cosmopolitan male will purposely incorporate in his wardrobe, select accessories chosen to strike balance or push the style envelope whether by way of a pair of handsome dress hosiery, an exceptional timepiece, or the perfect cufflinks to set off a white crisp shirt (see our blog on The Elegant World of Cufflinks) .
Accessory selection certainly comes into play in the carrier a gentleman selects for attending a charity auction, the opening of a new art exhibit, the hottest outdoor concert or simply running errands. When a cross-body or messenger is too cumbersome for those particular occasions, alternatively the right compact man bag will satisfy his utility and style requirements.
Over the decades, man-bags have fallen into the travel bag categories of messengers bags to fanny-packs. Fashion designers have even incorporated briefcases, men’s totes and backpacks in this category. However, for purposes of this blog, a man-bag is infused with elements of a cross body and a messenger only smaller; built to carry items that would normally be secured in a jacket or pants pockets or carried awkwardly in a man’s hands.
