Fashion trends have begun to shift toward the more casual this season, as we try even more denim styles, look for vintage-inspired T-shirts, and often opt for flats over heels. The trick to keeping your look polished and age-appropriate while rocking youthful off-duty styles, however, is to choose pieces that still have polished structure and grown-up details.
When it comes to your carryall this spring, consider a backpack. Whether you one-strap it, two strap-it, or slip the top handle over the crook of your arm (admit it: back in high school there was totally a forever-rotating "cool girl" way to rock the backpack look!), this childhood favorite has been re-invented in a more sophisticated way. The leather is structured, the shape is classic, and—oh—did we mention it will hold everything a busy girl-on-the-go needs? We've hit the trifecta this season.

Seek a style with a distinct shape that echoes that of your current shoulder bags. Don't be afraid to show your personality with color, whimsical details, or tassel and fringe—just make sure that playful detail comes in the form of a structured leather carryall and not a nylon rucksack! With backpacks popping up everywhere for spring, it's sure to become your new favorite go-to.
