It wasn't too long ago when the backpack was considered more of a nostalgic reminder of school days than an of-the-moment accessory. Then it made a comeback thanks to the rise of anti-fashion fashion. As sport-inspired club wear, baggy trousers, and dad sneakers made it to the hip list, the backpack was an essential part of this sartorial movement. Today, tastemakers and style aficionados are returning to a more laid-back, comfort-first sensibility-or what's considered "normcore." Along with this revival is a rediscovered love for the backpack not only as a fashion accessory, but also as an essential for travel, business, and yes-lots of leisure.
