8 All-Day Bags Turn Savvy Into Stylish

Oftentimes, our fall seasonal schedules mean carrying the whole day on our back. It may be helpful to have a computer, textbook, lunch and outfit change over one shoulder—until it totally ruins an outfit. The day-ready bags below change this truth. With features like a soft leather exterior and multiple pockets, they prove that savvy really can be stylish. —Julia Dumbrell
