Tote bags: why you need them, how to style, where to shop
Hi everyone! Welcome to a new week! I'm so glad to start a fresh new week because the past one has been hectic. First, I have to thank Instagram's shop section for today's post. I'm pretty new to this feature, and I haven't bought an item from there. BUT, this is the perfect opportunity to navigate the shop section together and discover it!
I browsed the shopping feature, and I fell in love with an edit about tote bags. They are the most practical day bags you can ever imagine. You can find them for every style, and they fix all of your problems when it comes to carrying so many things around the city during the day. Laptop, lunch box, water bottle, planner, mini beauty case, wallet, keys, phone, AirPods, name an item, and I'm telling you that you can carry it in your tote bag.
So, today we're seeing why you need it, how to style a tote bag, and where to shop it.
Why you need a tote bag in your life
Picture this scenario in your mind. You're the typical person who goes out in the morning and comes back to the apartment just in time for dinner. You'll need to carry so many different things to navigate the various times of the day. What would it be in your bag? The first things that come up in my mind for the work part of the day are laptops or tablets, chargers, power banks, AirPods, a planner, your phone, and a pen. Then you'll need some necessaire for yourself. So, maybe, you want to grab a water bottle, a lunch box, some snacks, your wallet and keys, a mini beauty case with all of your beauty go-to's, tissues, and a toothbrush. Finally, you'll probably go to the market before returning home, and you hate plastic bags. So, you'll grab a canvas tote bag to collect all of your groceries. How will you fit all of these items in one bag? You'll need a tote bag!
Ok, let's pick two more scenarios. First, it's the weekend, and you want to go to the market and thrift shopping. You don't need to carry as much stuff as during the workweek. So, you grab an inspirational canvas tote bag and put your wallet, keys, and water bottle in there to have enough space for the thrift shopping and groceries in one bag. Can you hear the "that girl" vibes?
The last one, it's summertime, and you have a beach day or boat day ahead of you. How fun? You'll need a towel, a good book, sunscreens, wallet, keys, sunglasses, a hat, snacks, a water bottle, and hair care products. How can you fit all of these things? Beach bag or a tote bag!
You see? The tote bag is so versatile and practical!
How to style a tote bag
A tote bag is hands down a day bag. I can't picture myself wearing a tote bag to go out in the evening or at night. So, the following style inspos are for a day occasion. As you can see, the tote bag adds that little something to the outfit. These pictures remind me of a summer in the South of France, a stroll in Tuscany, or the 'I'm living my best life' vibe.
