If you’ve been thinking of making the transition into a Person Who Wears a Backpack Instead of a Shoulder Bag, might we suggest this metallic-silver option from State. Pair it with an all-black look (like the model) and you’ll look like someone who takes themselves seriously, but not too seriously. An added bonus: It appears to be lined with a map of New York City, in case you get lost. And right now it’s 50 percent off at Nordstrom. (For those whose look is a little more understated, it’s also on sale in a nice shade of fig.)
