For as much shite as Millennials catch, and rightfully so, in a lot of ways they're much more practical than previous generations who felt tied to traditions and obligated to be uncomfortable and put on a show for everybody.


I bet you think shorts and a SaltLife button down are Sunday's best now too. Some things should stay traditional.

A friend of mine works for Slalom Consulting. They hooked him up with a very sharp Tumi backpack. I'd rock it all day long.

I have been wondering what is up with most of the millennials in my office building rocking backpacks.


It isn't just millenials. The CFO where I work just retired. He used a backpack. Most senior execs around here do too.

What does that even mean? I guess O&G and Healthcare are laughable fields of work?

If you can fit the same stuff you would in a small suitcase/briefcase then why the hell not? It's much more practical to have two hands free.

You gotta find a good medium.

Honestly the only people I see wearing suits these days are i-bankers and lawyers. All of our uber-rich clients are usually wearing business casual.

Saw a man at a hotel this morning in otherwise mostly business clothes sporting a backpack.

WTH is this shat?! I’m a medical sales rep & use my Thule Subterra backpack daily for my laptop, tablet, phones, samples, etc. It’s extremely functional & looks great. The last thing I’d want to do is hand carry a damn briefcase through the airport. Lol!
