Fill it up, strap it on

Newsflash: Messenger bags are showing a softer side.

Once heavy-duty and for the guys, messenger bags have been refined in style, shape and color. But, oh, how they retain their utility for holding just about anything you might need to carry.

The classic rectangle with single flap remains popular but you'll also find smaller, squarer interpretations for work and play.

These bags come in a variety of fabrics, including leather, nylon, cotton, sheepskin and polyester.

While you can find a pop of color, earth tones rule.

After all, a neutral bag packs a lot of versatility.
