If you ask any of my friends or family, handbags are second in line on my compulsive hoarder/lover list. But from the lost list of ‘trending’ bags in the market today (um, hello, micro-minis), I always go after a good tote. They have the ability to not only go with most of your outfits but the kind of storage space they have is prime. Which is why they’re so-damn-great to carry to work.

But just because you’re going to the office doesn’t mean you have to skimp out on style for the functionality aspect. So I’ve rounded up a couple of handbags that are great for the office—but even better for the after office hours. Some of the ones mentioned below are structured, some medium-sized, some long-strap and some short… All-in-all these 6 bags are trendy AF and the only ones you’re going to want to wear with your work-wear OOTD.
