The Best Briefcases & Messenger Bags - Men's Essential Accessories - Leather, Canvas, Shoulder

About this video

Weston teaches men how to select and wear briefcases as professional accessories. She explains the key features of a quality briefcase, discusses when to use versus remove the shoulder strap depending on outfit formality, and recommends two specific briefcase options that balance style, durability, and value.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that leather briefcases in black or brown are superior to other materials and colors because they age well and maintain their appearance over time
• Weston recommends removing the shoulder strap and using handles when wearing a suit, sport coat, or blazer to avoid wrinkling and damaging shoulder padding
• Weston recommends the Frank Clegg zip top leather briefcase and Coach’s metropolitan slim brief as the best options, citing their quality leather, thoughtful design, and appropriate sizing for laptops
