Top Five: Summer Work Bags That Don’t Look Like Beach Totes

Swap out your black leather tote for something lighter or brighter but still office-appropriate.

J. Crew’s Gallery Satchel ($298) goes with everything, and is big enough to fit a small laptop.

We like the saturated green on this bag ($484) – a bit different, but still easy to pair with tans, whites, and light summer colors.

This Matt & Nat hobo ($275) is vegan, like all their bags, and a bit edgier than the rest with exposed zippers and bias stitching.

A medium-sized satchel ($170) is easy to carry over your shoulder or in-hand – you could even wear it out at night with black or grey.

Tan patent leather is perfect for summer, and this Marc Jacobs hobo ($428) will never go out of style.
