Back to school means new classes, changing weather, and fresh trends. What better way to upgrade your fall wardrobe than with a new backpack that is both stylish and functional for class? Ditch your old canvas zip-up for a bag in a fun print or material. Backpacks are not only practical for running around campus but ideal for a day out in LA thanks to this seasons updated looks. We are loving the leather backpack trend as an update to a classic leather tote. Desiring something a little more funky? Try a fringe or embellished carry-all to really stand out. For creative types, we dare you to incorporate your own flare this school year by adding patches, tie dye, or embroidery to a blank bag. Bonus: a cool backpack may just make carrying all of those heavy textbooks a little more bearable.
