Fashion Fridays! The Backpack reign is back

Tired of the cliché handbags and cross bags, this is your ultimate replacement. The back packs are so definitely back on and they are in various designs so that caters for everybody, not just for the males but the ladies too. I see the cringe on your face but they are trendy ways of rocking it without looking like a school child. When shopping for one, go for the leather, canvas or suede types. These add an adult feel rather than a little child hoping into a school  bus.

You can always opt for studded backpacks as they bring out a playful child element in you. More like refreshing your childhood memories. They come in various colours, types and sizes hence each personality is catered for; from the biker girl to the chic kinda girl. It’s all on you to purchase the right one.

Add a twist to your plain backpack by adding charms and key chains to its zipper pulls. Adding a high – end designer key chain to a cheap backpack can up its style. You can go crafty on that plain backpack to make it outstanding. You can do this with the use of paints, sequins,  studs and stones.  Redesign that backpack to define you personally and nobody else. Such for backpacks in various places and not one cliché,  even in the children’s section.  You may be lucky to find one that suits you just right.  Sometimes being stylish is as simple as being unique. That old backpack you are too embarrassed to be seen carrying could be pimped up simply by dying it – give it a more classy shade of color.

As a campuser, you may own several backpacks in various sizes to meet different occasions; a medium sized one for lectures, a cute colored tiny one for the weekend and so on. Switch it up and don’t be confined to carrying only handbags and crossbags.

Generally, backpacks work better with more casual outfits. A structured backpack  looks more polished and can go well with an office attire.

Backpacks are sold everywhere about town, all you have to do is ask. You could drop by Mr. Price, House of Lukoma, different plazas but for really low prices pass by down town.
