Ultimate Guide To Bags ALL Men Need | Mens Fashioner | Ashley Weston

About this video

Weston provides a comprehensive guide to essential men’s bags, covering seven types including dopp kits, backpacks, weekender bags, briefcases, crossbody bags, and tote bags. She explains the specific use cases for each bag, discusses what to look for in quality options, and argues against common mistakes she observes men making when selecting and using bags. Weston emphasizes that different occasions and outfits require different bags, and she recommends features like durable materials, clean designs, and proper functionality.

Key takeaways

Weston argues that every man needs a dopp kit regardless of budget or lifestyle, and recommends leather top-loading versions with waterproof linings for durability and organization
Weston contends that backpacks should never be worn with suede jackets, blazers, or suits because shoulder straps damage the fabric and padding; handle-based bags should be used instead in these scenarios
Weston recommends against messenger bags, arguing they are less versatile and less secure than backpacks or modern briefcases, which she presents as superior alternatives
Weston suggests that modern briefcases with detachable shoulder straps offer versatility for both casual and formal settings, making them preferable to messenger bags for professional use
Weston recommends non-leather crossbody and hip bags for casual outfits over leather versions, and suggests tote bags as supplementary bags rather than primary carrying solutions
