These 16 Roomy Bags That Are Chic Enough To Carry All Your Crap To Work

You try to limit all of the “necessities” you stuff in your bag but you can never seem to cut them down enough that they’ll fit in a tiny clutch. You have your wallet, phones, keys, favorite lipstick, your work stuff, an emergency snack, something to read, and a lot more essentials. You don’t have to carry a plastic bag to fit all the stuff that doesn’t fit in your purse. These spacious bags will hold all of your stuff and they don’t look like you’re carrying a piece of luggage. Just don’t fill them up with too much junk. Your arm and the straps will thank you.

Take a look at 16 roomy bags that are sophisticated enough to carry to work:

1. Adjustable Tote Bag ($79.90, Mango)

Add a pop of color to any look with this cherry red tote with a pebbled texture. The bag measures a precise 16.14 by 13.78 inches. It has long removable shoulder straps and three compartments to keep all your junk tidy.

2. Handbag ($39.99, H&M)

Remember that black isn’t the only neutral color. This budget-friendly light taupe bag has three compartments with a secure zip closure on top. The grained imitation leather adds some interest to the classic shape.

3. Ashbury Camo Tote ($148, Banana Republic)

Plan totes are always popular but a printed one can be just as chic. This camo faux leather bag has a subtle pattern that is versatile and something you won’t get sick of after two months. It can easily hold a binder, files, or a pair of shoes.

4. Holdall With Metallic Clasp ($69.90, Zara)

If you want a classic bag that you can wear with everything this bottle green bag is a good option. It is less obvious than black or chocolate brown. The shoulder strap is adjustable and it measures about 12 by 13 3/4 by 5 1/2 inches.

5. Stanton Carryall ($395, Coach)

If you’re looking to splurge on a bag that you can wear for years, try this tan one. The leather bag has multiple zippered pockets so even those you aren’t normally the most organized people will be able to find their stuff easily.

6. Oversized Holdall ($68, Topshop)

The name says it all with this one. The roomy vegan leather bag has a top handle and shoulder strap and measures approximately 15 by 13 3/4 inches. There is an extra pocket on the front to keep your phone and transport pass.

7. Slide Handle Leather Bag ($275, & Other Stories)

8. Colorblock Faux Leather Tote ($27.90, Forever 21)

This isn’t your basic black leather bag. It has a contrasting blue gore. It measures 13 by 15 by 6.75 inches. The thick straps will make it comfortable to carry all day but don’t load it up with too much stuff.

9. Salina Bag ($268, Hobo Bags)

There is plenty of space in this bag made out of 100% top-grain leather. The interior pockets easily fit a tablet or laptop while the exterior ones hold an iPhone 6. There are even more pockets on the inside to help keep you organized.

10. New Uptown Tote ($178, J.Crew)

This minimalist bag in a cheery shade of yellow is especially good for the warmer months but that doesn’t mean you can’t get away with it all year. The tote measures 10 1/2 by 11 3/4 by 6 3/4 inches and is made out of an ultra-smooth leather.

11. Guess Grayson Status Carryall Saffiano Bag ($95.99, Macy’s)

You can’t go wrong with a color-blocked dress and you can’t go wrong with a color-blocked bag either. This shoulder bag has a zip closure on top and a textile lining on the interior. The camel, ivory, and orange colors with gold-tone hardware make it seem more expensive than it actually is.
