All about urban backpacks

It seems that the days when the word "backpack" evoked purely tourist associations are already far away. Today, almost every modern person of young and middle age has a backpack, or even several. And women have no less of them than men. They all differ: in size, quality, purpose. One of the most used categories of backpacks is urban.

A backpack should be perceived as a companion that reflects the lifestyle of its owner and at the same time solves more than one applied problem. Therefore, it can be so difficult to choose a suitable backpack: comfortable, combined with most of the things in the wardrobe, unobtrusive in design (you get tired of very original, bright things, it's hard to wear them every day).

A city backpack can be:

• leather - this option is not the most common, but there are many leather models among fashionable and stylish models;

• a mixture of sporty and urban - in a word, such that it is close to a sporty style, and will suit a traditional pair of "jeans-sweater" or "windbreaker-trousers";

• expensive and budget - here it is a matter of the brand, and in the materials, and in the quality of accessories and other components.

And also it will not be superfluous to decide whether such a backpack will become the main accessory, or will be one of the options. If it is basic, there are even more requirements for it. If a person loves backpacks, bags, and has a whole collection of them, you can play more with color and design.

In general, a city backpack appears to be an accessory that should include things of one day: a laptop, a wallet, books, a bottle of water, a folder with papers and more. These accessories do not differ in very large dimensions, more often they fit into a volume of up to 30 liters, and the most common is a gap of 20-25 liters.By the way, such backpacks will calmly appear in the form of hand luggage in transport hubs, fit in any storage room.

The stuffing of such a backpack usually contains:

• compartment for a laptop;

• seals and amplifiers for additional protection;

• compartment for headphones, players;

• pockets for smartphones and tablets;

• rechargeable batteries;

• office organizer for the office;

• side flexible pockets for drinking bottles.

Women's urban backpack can be different. By the way, there are many unisex models that are interesting because both husband and wife can use them in a family. Most everyday urban backpacks are textile, rather soft, but with a back. There are denser backpacks with a rather rigid frame.

Consider the options for city backpacks.

• Sling backpack. Usually, they are understood as not very large models up to 20 liters, having a triangular shape. They are distinguished by only one carrying strap. What makes this backpack especially convenient is the ability to open it and get what you need without taking it off. It is simply twisted over the shoulder strap from the back to the stomach. But it is still small in order to hide a laptop in it, for example. And you can't take him with you on a trip. But many girls prefer slings as not bulky, lightweight, cute backpacks, which are great to go for a walk.

• Classic urban. This is a rectangular model with two shoulder straps. Classic models are usually large in volume and comfortably accommodate a lot of weight. With such a backpack, you can go to a neighboring city for a couple of days, or even a week. How comfortable it will be to wear depends on the suspension system of the backpack - what design the straps will be, what kind of backrest, whether it has a waist belt in the kit. If the straps are thin, made of soft textiles, and the back is also soft, this is not a universal option. You can't carry more than 4-5 kg ​​in such a backpack.

• Backpack-briefcase. Quite a popular variation for urban species. And very convenient for those who do not mind coming to the office with a backpack. Still, a traditional portfolio isn't for everyone. The straps in such an accessory are hidden in a special compartment with a zipper. The briefcase can be carried by the handle or hung on the shoulder.

• Folding... Typically, these models are made from thin and light fabrics. They are very compact when packed. If the backpack has a volume of 20 liters, then when folded it will be like an apple. This will fit in a jacket pocket without any problems. And this is convenient if you need to go to the store and do not want to buy a package. Of course, there are even more demands on such backpacks, not all manufacturers make folding ones.

• Roll top. This design is also closer to minimalism, it has only one, but a large compartment. The roll-up top recalls the sealed packaging that inspired the design of this kind of urban backpack. Usually they are made of high-quality waterproof fabrics, their seams are welded or glued, absolutely sealed. The thing looks unusual, and in bad weather, in heavy rain, the dirt will not eat into the seams - a cape is not needed for such a backpack.

And here there is such a wide assortment that the chance to find your own, corresponding to basic requests and even whims, is very large. It seems that the basic thing, especially the accessory, must be black. But this is not at all the case: a backpack can be of any color, although the coincidence (or rather, a successful combination) with the main composition of the wardrobe is implied.

Colors and design features can be very different.

• Beige and its variations - for those who love pastel colors in their appearance and know how they suit him.Good at any time of the year, if it does not differ in the main accents with an outfit or outerwear.

• Azure blue, mint and other similar shades. Delicate, soft, but not necessarily girly option. It is suitable for those who have blue, blue, green eyes, as well as aqua eyes. It suits blondes who are ready to choose even voluminous, unusually elegant and strict things in flirty, mostly feminine accents.

• Navy blue. As a rule, this color is used by those who do not want to follow the simplest path - a black backpack. If this color is also combined with basic jeans or shoes, it can be a good duet.

• Gray, brown... These colors cannot be called bright, but they play well with correctly built images. They can have different shades and gradations.

• Variegated, with small patterns. As a rule, it is worn with monochromatic things, in other cases a subtle approach is required. But a colorful backpack with blue jeans and a light-colored sweatshirt, for example, looks great. And there are many such combinations.

• Laconic... It does not imply any decor, it is made in one color, it can be called an "introverted thing". Suitable for women who love things that are simple and perfect in this simplicity, helping to better reveal the appearance and emotional image of the owner (and not overshadow him).

In this rating, the most suitable models for the city, who were in the top due to their relevance and citation (in social networks, for example).

This list will include branded, recognizable items.

One very spacious compartment with a zipper, but it only contains four inner pockets and a durable textile lining. A tablet or small laptop fits comfortably in it.

• TOMMY HILFIGER. The eco-leather backpack-bag is made in a classic design, combined with a classic style in clothes, and with more democratic things. Lightweight, roomy, but expensive.

Of course, if you like the thing, everything else becomes not so important - you can put up with some minor flaws. But there are indicators that are checked first when choosing.

The product must be held in your hands, so you can check it for the strength of the seams. Of course, you don't need to tear, but pulling slightly makes sense. The accessories should also be looked at, they should not be "flimsy" in appearance, these elements of the backpack should also be strong and reliable. And it is not so important whether this model is light or something heavier, he should not create the illusion of a bag for products.

For this, the backpack should be tried on. It is very important how the back of the backpack lies on the back - even tactilely, it should be a comfortable fit. The straps should also be comfortable. They must be fitted with adjustable straps, otherwise you may end up with a dangling bag behind your back. The inner surface of the material must be perforated. Ideally, straps should be wide, tight, strong, with straps and ventilation.

Many would like the backpack to be roomy (up to 35, or even 40 liters), but at the same time compact. To look beautiful on the figure, which is important for women, does not seem disproportionate. There are a lot of such models, and even if they do not seem roomy in appearance, it may be an optical illusion. Again, to choose the right backpack, you need to try it on.

Water resistance is essential for a backpack that counts on versatility. Such models are usually made of dense synthetic fabrics: the thicker they are, the more beneficial the hydrophobic properties of the thing. For example, waterproof polyester, even in heavy rain, will keep the backpack dry and prevent it (and the things in it) from deforming.

In small and flat backpacks up to 20 liters, it is convenient to travel in noisy and cramped transport - you do not have to take them off when entering it. A laptop, wallet, tablet and small things will fit into such a backpack. But if you want to shove another container with food, an umbrella into it, you will have to take something bigger - 30 liters for sure.

This characteristic has already been described above, and yet ideas about what to choose right now may change right in the buying process. Black, which, of course, has not ceased to be universal, suits many. But in the summer it is completely uncomfortable, and if most of the things in the wardrobe are not dark, it may turn out that the most unmarked and classic color is out of work. Active colors (red, orange, yellow) look good, attract attention, but it is easy to get tired of them - this option is so-so for daily wear.

Nobody is surprised at the combination "dress - sneakers", it will soon become a classic. So a backpack has long been not considered the little brother of a bag, many women do not remember when they last carried a bag, but backpacks in the hallway can hang in a row.

What backpacks are worn with:

• model with floral print suitable for calm sets of clothing, preferably light and monochromatic;

• leather backpacks look great with typical feminine things, flirty, and heels do not interfere with such a bow;

• urban models go to jeans and similar trousers, sweatshirts and sweatshirts, discreet turtlenecks;

• pleated midi skirts, a warm knitted cardigan, sneakers and a compact backpack are already a familiar combination;

• long skirt or dress, the biker jacket goes well with backpacks that "sing along" to one of the elements of the image - romantic or fatal (sports).

It helps a lot in choosing the presence, which can be developed thanks to the Internet. Before choosing a backpack on the site, you should look at the already established images. There are tens of thousands of such photos in the street-style headings, and they inspire you to create your own perfect bows.

Happy choice and long wear!
