The phrase practical fashion sounds like an oxymoron. It certainly conjures up an unsightly image of trousers that convert into shorts, of waterproofs that stuff into zip-lock pockets and itchy, scratchy uniforms. But, for the modern woman to navigate the world without looking like a weighed down bag lady it is imperative she embraces the concept. Before you wince, practical fashion can be stylish.
More often than not an essential workday item, like a Mac Book Pro laptop can be the last thing factored into an outfit. This is why having a versatile capacious holdall that’s roomy enough for toting around tech can be the saving grace of an on-duty look. When you’ve got emails pinging in at 10-a-second and a meeting to chair in under an hour you’ll be thankful to not have to spend the next 20minutes digging around for a tired canvas tote to lug your laptop around in.
