Six stylish laptop backpacks for your everyday carry

If there's one thing I always take to work, it's my bag. But lately, I've been struggling with my High Sierra bag. It doesn't have enough space to fit my laptop, lunch, a digital notepad and the books I like to carry around.

So I've been on the hunt for a new backpack, and I'm strict with my guidelines. They have to tick a few boxes: utility, comfort and style.

To help myself and others out, I've rounded up the best-looking bags that resonate with what I'm looking for.
