Heading to the office with one of the best work bags for women is an easy way to add style and sophistication to your business attire. Work tote bags, backpacks and laptop bags make carrying heavy gear and other essentials a breeze without sacrificing your look.

“A dedicated work bag is key to keeping yourself organized,” explains Bernadett Vajda, an image consultant and style expert with years in the modeling industry. “A work tote bag should be functional, yet still office-appropriate and able to keep you focused on your weekly schedule so you don’t waste valuable time unpacking and repacking. Having a place to comfortably store necessary items like chargers and other gear gives you peace of mind.”

What to look for in the best work bags for women

Choosing one of the best work bags depends on your lifestyle and daily needs. “Padding may be ideal if you carry delicate tech devices,” says Vajda. “You should also look for a bag that has enough room for extra items. Some days you may need to carry an extra pair of shoes, a makeup organizer or snacks. Added compartments are also important, because you should never carry a water bottle in the same compartment as your laptop. Liquids should be kept separate, and if you do carry a water bottle, you should opt for a nylon or synthetic material.”
