When one thinks of tote bags, they might think of museum visits or grocery shopping. And with reason - they’re super functional, easy to carry and usually very sturdy and just the right size. No wonder they’re everywhere! What you might not usually wonder, however, is how to style a tote bag. As a tote bag worshiper myself, I tend to wear mine without having my outfit in mind - this is, however, only the case with the traditional canvas tote bag style. You know the ones I’m talking about - the ones you buy from a museum and stroll everywhere to pretend you’re cultured but in reality have only been host to carrots, potatoes, and your house keys.
However, a few years ago, tote bags made a comeback and started being worn by people other than pseudo-artists. Originally invented with practicality in mind, they go back to the 17th century, even though the word ‘tote’ did not become mainstream until around the mid-20th century.
