10 best backpacks
For those of you who carry a lot of stuff, and still want it to look good.
Carrying a lot doesn't have to mean looking like you're about to climb a mountain. The best city backpacks hide their capacity behind clean lines.
We picked our favourites for structure, materials and how well they age. Tonal hardware, minimal logos and a shape that holds when half empty were non-negotiable.
Whatever you choose, pick a colour you will wear with everything. Black still wins.
