By Rebecca Twitchen, 12 August 2024

WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK(PACK)
The North Face Jester logo backpack in green, £80
Consider yourself set for a long day of lectures with a bag that does it all, AKA, the humble backpack. When you’re carrying around all those books, you need the support from more than just your snacks. Out of the best backpacks for uni, our top pick is this one from The North Face – it’s the perfect combination of flex-worthy branding and practical features (hello, adjustable straps and padded laptop sleeve). Or, if you’re a fan of being hands-free, but prefer a more low-key look, go for a classic leather backpack from Barneys Originals.

TAKE A TOTE
ASOS DESIGN rubberised tote bag in black, £28
Complete your ‘fit with an accessory that’ll work from this season to the next, cue: the tote bag. Everyone knows you can’t go wrong with a classic canvas option, but this rubberized ASOS DESIGN one is our ultimate pick! We love how it’s got plenty of room to stash all your stuff, making it a stress-free choice. 10/10.

THE GOES-WITH-EVERYTHING BAG
Dickies moreauville messenger bag in black, £40
Even the most dedicated student needs some downtime every now and then, so you need an option that can take you from a seminar to spending time with your mates. The answer? A black uni bag. This cross-body bag from Dickies can hold all of your essentials without being bulky – it’s the ultimate solution if you’re short on wardrobe space, because you can wear it on repeat without losing any of your style credentials.

WORK OUT, STAND OUT
Nike Training Brasilia duffle bag in black and white camo, £30
One of the major bonuses of uni life is the student discounts. With these, you can save while you study, shop, work out and more – it’s a big perk, especially if you’re a fan of hitting the gym (leg day doesn’t seem so bad when it’s a fraction of the price). Searching for some of the best gym bags? Look no further, you’ll definitely stand out on campus with this statement style from Nike! What are you waiting for? Pack your kit and bag the compliments.
