Accessories reveal important details about a man, which is why your choice of a bag to tote your clothes to the gym in is just as important as the watch you wear or the shoes on your feet. Not just any gym bag will do these days. Men’s fashion is heading into another halcyon era of casual sports style not seen since the late '70s and early '80s. The black and gray uniformity of the late '90s wardrobe is finally giving way to color again in men’s accessories, and while dark colors will always be appropriate for the corporate professional world, designers are mixing materials and finishes to reveal textured or slickly polished leather to add a flourish to your personal style.
What better way to truly showcase your fashionite know-how than with a stylish gym bag?
Andrew Marc Marshall bag
This Andrew Marc bag mixes brown and gray leather for a casual yet elegant look that allows you to also tote it to the office without looking like the new hire. If your workplace or gym is populated by like-minded professionals, this is the style you want because it’s easy to clean, gets better with age and matches well with formal work attire.
Gucci duffle
If your day consists of moving between casual and formal work environments, yet you like to stay hip and fashionable, think about the kind of message you want to send to your gym mates. Perhaps you need to add a dash of Italian chic to your attire with a Gucci nylon bag? It also doubles as an all-purpose carry-on, but why let it sit in the closet for most of the year? The sublime, multicolored hand straps brighten your look without being overbearing.
Lacoste tennis bag
Yes, it’s a tennis bag, but if you know anything about Lacoste, you know they wouldn't call it anything else. For you, however, it's a great all-around gym bag with large hand straps and a shoulder strap thrown in for good measure. The nylon construction is durable and the large logo is retro '80s with 21st-century attitude, but the color and size let everyone know you’re happy to go to the gym anytime, and you’ve got plenty of gear to take along.
Nike Fadeaway duffel
The look and style of the this Nike Fadeaway duffel is more 1979 with a hint of caveman-on-the-moving-airport-walkway, but the details of this bag are hard to find anywhere else. Take, for instance, the separate shoe compartment and the extra zippered interior pockets for your keys, a cell phone and a comb. That’s right: a comb. Use it after you wash your hair in the gym shower instead of wearing that greasy ball cap that should have been put to rest after you left college. And with the affordable price of this Nike bag in the under-$50 range, you’ll have plenty of cash for a better pair of gym shoes too.
Perry Ellis weekender
Perry Ellis has been charging back to the forefront of men’s fashion for awhile and the label's accessories are hard to beat. While this leather weekender bag will get you through Monday without much trouble, its pure masculinity is made for the gym with sharp, modern lines. This bag is in a great mid-price range that lets you dress up or down for the daily commute.
gym bag it
There was a time in fashion when men bought entire sets of clothes and accessories for each season. These days, thankfully, men are beginning to think about their overall look from basic elements to accessories in a common color palette and style. Yet, just as your briefcase or work bag is essential in expressing yourself, so too is your gym bag. Ditch the backpack or old-school beer-soaked duffel and complete your look with one of the above options because, no matter what shape you’re in, your clothes and the bag you carry them in say more about you than the number of reps you can crank out.
