Designer Totes For The Female Professional

By Lora Jones


Designer totes are much more than a fashion statement for working women. They are a versatile accessory that allows essential items to be carried while still maintaining a professional look while on the job. Without the flashy design of other types of totes, they remain inconspicuous and less distracting to others.

A professional looking bag is the perfect choice for any job interview. Presentation of one's self is vital, which means well put together attire can be a disaster if the wrong kind of bag is used as an accessory. The first impression can make the difference between you getting the job or someone else. That first impression is usually one of the major factors an interview will consider when doing any hiring. If you look like you threw on the first thing you found that morning, they will remember that too.

A small but simple and classy bag is essential during an interview. Small totes can carry basic grooming materials, a cellphone, some money and car keys without bulk. Small bags can also be placed in the lap without creating a distraction. Large totes are a gateway to cramming them full of all kinds of unneeded items that only make the bag bulky.

Stick with simple colors while in formal use as well. Black and different shades of brown are classic choices and are easily paired with many different outfits. Other colors are possible choices, but they need to match the outfit being worn. When they aren't matching they can give a tacky appearance. Never choose bold and bright colors in a formal situation. Never choose bold and bright outfits for formal situations either.

Good supporting structure is another important factor. Basic leather or cloth bags can slouch and crumple, giving a sloppy appearance. A sloppy appearance is a quick way to set a bad first impression during an interview. Before buying, insure any tote being purchased has ribbing or other reinforcement that prevents crumpling.

After the job interviews are finished and you are hired, that same professional appearance should still be kept up. Every day, you should arrive to work clean and presentable, complete with a professional looking bag. It's vital to performing a job the right way, but appearance is also important while at work. Coming to work dirty and inappropriate clothing should never happen.

Having a business style bag with basic grooming items while at work is important for looking well kept at all times. Right before important meetings, items being carried in a bag can be used to freshen up. These items might include a hair brush and some basic makeup or whatever the person feels is necessary to make themselves fresh and presentable.

Designer totes are easily incorporated into a business wardrobe for all female professionals. A professional appearance should be kept at all times, right down to the bag being carried. The wrong type of tote can be an eye sore if it doesn't match the clothing being worn. Keeping things small but classy are the best way to maintain professionalism.
