Business chic has been creeping into our wardrobes and onto our social media feeds for quite some time now; the popularity of structured blazers and tailored pants is proof. And then this year, corp-core reached new heights with the ‘office siren’ trend, where women gave workwear a sexy (yet appropriate) spin with smoky eye make-up, pencil skirts, fitted shirts, and kitten heels. While these elements might be optional, one accessory for the working woman transcends all trends—the multi-tasking tote.
A tote that ticks all the boxes doesn’t come easy. It must be durable yet stylish and needs to have multiple compartments to fit all your daily essentials, from your laptop and your notebooks, to your make-up, lunch, and water bottle. Not to mention non-essential "necessities" like an extra pair of shoes, gym clothes, a novel, if you like to read, etc. And it should be comfortable enough to lug around from home to work and back. You get the picture.
