Do weekender bags need to be sporty or casual? Of course not! If you are headed to the gym or keeping an emergency set of overnight clothes in your car, a basic duffel bag might do fine, but for visiting a long-distance friend, checking in to a hotel, or zipping through the airport to catch a flight, a more stylish weekender bag will make you look less locker room - more presentable, polished and professional. Once you break free from the sports bag stereotype you’ll find a world of stylish, bold, and modern options, allowing you to more appropriately accessorize.
Weekender bags, overnight bags, travel bags, and oversized totes are all variations of the classic duffel. At different times, matching your overnight bag to your sneakers has been considered trendy. In the 80s, Nike and Adidas logos were everywhere from our footwear to our caps and everything between. This receded in the 90s for less bright fashions. By 2010, athleisure trends came back strong. This was amplified in 2020, when comfort became paramount. If you were going to wear a mask, pairing that with nicer sweatpants and a casual tote or a backpack made for a decent consolation. Nearly 4 years after the pandemic began, style has begun to tick up again.
Le Papillon, Anchal, America & Beyond, Burghley, and Greenwood are among the brands leading the charge, offering chic alternatives that don’t look like they belong on the basketball court.
