As much as we want to look put together while traveling, it can be tricky to find pieces that can stand up to the journey of being dragged through airports and toted around cities and still look chic in the process. With bags, in particular, we’ve often found that we need to choose between ones that suit our taste and ones that are actually capable of holding all of our possessions as we spend time walking around and exploring.
Fortunately, though, the days of having to choose between style and function are behind us. We love to use backpacks when we travel, and we’ve found a few that suit all of our practical needs without compromising on style in the process.
Everlane Renew Transit Backpack
This bag checks all of our boxes when it comes to what we’re looking for in a travel backpack. It’s comfortable, waterproof, and has 7 pockets, so it’s big enough to carry everything we need for a flight. We also love that it’s made with recycled materials, making it an eco-friendly option.
Herschel Retreat Backpack
Herschel is our favorite brand for bags when we’re looking for something classic and durable, and their retreat bags are no exception. They’re made in several different sizes, so you can choose the one that best suits how much space you need during travel. Some of the color options are also made with recycled materials.
Lululemon City Adventure Backpack
What we love most about this backpack (aside from how comfortable it is) is its versatility. It has plenty of pockets to help keep you organized and even a separate compartment for dirty clothes, which is helpful at the gym but can also come in handy for travel.
