With so many different work bags to choose from, where does one begin?

Whether you're commuting every day or just need a bag for in-office essentials, we're rounding up men's work bags that are both functional and timeless. And with Father's Day coming up, one of these options could make a fantastic gift!

For example, shop backpacks, briefcases and more, like Away's Everywhere Zip Backpack, perfect for commuters needing to carry a laptop. We're also eyeing Everlane's The ReNew Transit Backpack, as well as some affordable picks from Amazon.

If your computer stays put at work or you work without one, a smaller bag or sturdy tote might work out better for you -- we've included a handful here so you're covered, too.
