Fashion Trend: Backpacks

Baby Got Back(pack)

It’s official: backpacks are in, and they are awesome. There’s no point in fighting this accessible trend. From a stylish city dweller’s chic leather backpack slung over one shoulder to the adventurous traveler’s rough-and-tumble carry-on, there’s something for everyone—even for Cantopop singer and actor Pakho Chau and actress and model Jennifer Tse, the faces
of the new Hong Kong Topman and Topshop stores. Hey, guys. Nice backpacks.

Backpacks are dope. Yes, they come off as hipster (thanks, Herschel)—and sure, they may be a little too back-to-school for some. But you’re all wrong. Backpacks come in all shapes, sizes, prints and materials now, so stop being a hater and join the cool kids.
