Backpacks have come a long way since college –there’s now a class of them that are pared down, dressed up, and don’t have any of those straps and buckles you’d need only for a week in the wild. Yes, you can wear a backpack with a suit – as long as it looks the part. “They have to be designed a certain way to look right,” says Diana Bald, creative director for Roots.
