AT WORK – Oversized & practical

Gone are the days of a commuter backpack being the only workwear option. Sure, some are chic, but if they make you feel a bit less Dior and a bit more Dora-The-Explorer then we’ve got great news for you – clutch bags are officially commutable. Of course, we have to think practically – and many of those more traditional, teeny, rigid clutches just won’t cut it. Instead opt for an oversized silhouette that rivals your laptop backpack or usual work bag, in a pillowy soft leather that’ll ensure it’s super comfortable to squash under your arm even if you don’t get a seat on the train. Choosing one with optional handles – à la tote bags – to sling over your shoulder should you find yourself waiting forever on the platform during delays is also a great option.
