Is it ok for a man to wear a satchel/purse?
Or is it a bit effeminate?

Does anybody find this sort of shit fashionable?

I need to have a bunch of stuff with me daily that would entirely fuck up both my pants and my silhouette if I were to actually carry it all in my pockets - hell, with modern phones you don't even need to be carrying a lot of stuff for it to bulge your pockets/stick out.

Bag itself depends on your age, how you dress and what materials you use - i.e. context

I've got a leather messenger bag I got from etsy for work/study - browse around, there's loads of good stuff for fair prices.

Also have an ethnotek chaalo travel bag for just walking around town.

Again, it depends on your aesthetic, I wouldn't personally

>are tshirts effeminate too?
Depends on the shirt

On the other hand, I like some of the bags from Ethnotek, and as with shirts it depends on the colour and whats depicted on them.

Didn't mean to sound critical, just so you know.

>> No.12987427

>>12987406
And I didn't mean to sound offended, just saying items on their own (except maybe very dominant ones) never make the same sense they do in pictures as they do on people.

Search around, think not only in terms of what looks good standalone but what would look good on you and what you usually wear - if you're into leather or canvas etsy is where I'd look. Check out reviews first tho.

I live in London so I won't claim to speak for the world at large, but messenger bags on grown men are straight-up manchild tier.

I suppose a nice one for office/work purposes are somewhat forgiveable because bags are hard for men. But to wear one as low as Mr Will Smith is in the OP is fucking laughable, the same level as little 16 year old schoolkids.

I carry one like this, this isn't my pic. The shoulder strap is almost exclusively just crossed and hanging over the top. I only put it over my shoulder when I need both hands.

>> No.12987944

I carry one regularly. I'm not really worried about it looking effeminate. There's no actual reason a bag slung over your shoulder would be any girlier than a backpack, it's literally just cultural conditioning. I'm not saying that's something you should ignore totally but come on, nobody is going to look at a milsurp bag and think "oh, that's a purse."

Of course, attitude goes a long way here, as in everything fashion-related. If you carry one like it's NBD it really will be. If you're insecure about people labeling it as a "murse" then you will get laughed at.

Nigga are you going on an adventure of delivering mail?

Just wear a backpack if you really need the extra carrying space.

It's actually in style right now for guys to be wearing purses or satchels or messenger bags but there hasn't been one instance of me saying "That purse really brings his outfit together." It's just something that never looks good on men outside of LARPing
