#  15 Practical Rucksacks To Buy Now  


Sometimes function needs to be a priority over style, but the two don't have to be mutually exclusive. Take the backpack – once just a practical piece, these days a stylish way to carry around your laptop, lunch and the kitchen sink.  
  
From grown-up labels like Tumi to cool Scandi brand Fjällräven, we’ve rounded up the best practical styles. Just add a small crossbody for essentials and go.
