As summer draws to an inevitable close, work beckons once more.
A new start for many, September is one of the most common months of the year for companies to hire fresh faces. But how can you swiftly show that you mean business at your new job?
A briefcase is a sure fire way to establish yourself as a man who is both organised and stylish – and there are few better than these three options.
The best thing about a soft leather briefcase, such as this durable offering from Mulberry, is how easily it can straddle the line between formal and informal.
A lasting addition to your working wardrobe, the shoulder strap says that you’re casual when you want to be, but using the top handle to make a smart impression on your commute to the office will show that, when it matters, you mean business.
If you want to emanate a classic business look, why not opt for something along the lines of Jack Russell’s understated executive briefcase?
Crafted from Italian Saffiano leather, this case promises to show that you’re organised – it contains two internal compartments – whilst maintaining a certain élan, as is evident with the smart black colour and elegant clip lock. “I’m dependable,” this case says, “but I can still find time to look good.”
Constructed from a waxed cotton, but finished with brown leather detailing and brass buckles, this Barbour briefcase allows you to project a casual, rugged image whilst indulging in your liking for luxury.
An ideal size to hold a laptop, the bag is perfectly designed for day-to-day usage, and would work just as well with a suit as it would with jeans and a t-shirt.
