Alternatives to jackets / laptop bag

[The Cosworth]

So I have this strange habit of carrying half my life with me now. Between my glasses, airpods, business car holders, lacross ball (for my neck), wallet, keys... it's kind of ridiculous. In the winter it isn't an issue since I have a jacket with me, but even now hoodies aren't great.

I've considered just wearing more and more blazers for the pocket space but wondering if there are other suggestions. I don't think I'm a Gucci satchel guy, and a laptop bag isn't the best option for non-work events.

Besides a fanny pack, and I can't rock a mullet anymore since I'm bald, I don't know whats trendy. And as @flipstah can attest, I'm not the most fashion forward.

You're overthinking this lol you're pretty good my man

If you're into the minimalist aesthetic, Lululemon makes a blazer called Venture with zippered pockets. It's a travel blazer that's wrinkle resistant.

They offer free alterations too.

If you want the nice fabric stuff, ZZegna or Canali makes travel blazers.

Filson makes nice canvas bags for laptops and it's nice looking with quality construction. I have their tote bag and it's been great commuting around town.

Look at Peak Design bags as well, and possibly Timbuk2 (although, they're more function > form).

From a fashion perspective, don't buy a blazer to store things. Blazers don't look good when they're full of stuff.

Crossbody bag is my go-to work bag now. I went with the tactical style with molle webbing so I could add water bottle holders instead of loosing all the inside space. Works really well and apparently I'm trendy on this one.

That’s also true about blazers and full pockets

Cargo pants, bonus points for zip-away legs

That would be better than a blazer with the pockets stuffed full of lacrosse balls

Or just carry a purse. Hell that comes with an added benefit of job security as no one in their right mind these days would EVER think of firing a man wearing a purse. Just occasionally walk into the ladies restroom when upper management is passing by too.

The ticket is a brown leather messenger bag with laptop sleeve. Styles and quality options are endless.

The laptop is hard to get around. Might as well have a stylish bag than the typical nylon garbage the company supplies.

I had some of these.... definitely part of why I know I have no fashion sense.




I actually really like this style, thanks for the suggestions:
