Men's Style Piece: The Return of the Rucksack


Over the years an enormous trend has developed in the form of the man-bag. Its sleek, masculine designed and compact at best. Alongside this trend emerged a bag craze for want of a better term. Hold-all, luggage, gym bags, satchels, you name them the high-street has them.

Summer 2011 however has seen the return of something nobody could have predicted, the revival of the rucksak. I know right? Who would have thought? The rucksack is back and its one of this Summer's essential key pieces for festival goers the world over!



They come in all shapes and sizes, colours and textures. Personal faves are Asos.com's canvas range taking inspiration from the 1960s military styling with buttons and zips reflecting that era with a khaki colors taking point. The most interesting has to be the Aztec print alternate which literally screams bang on trend for this year's festival season priced at just £35.



Topman offer a navy over-flapped version as well as a burgundy two pocket variant both priced at £32. Whilst competitor River Island offers a slightly more affordable option at £24.99 complete in both navy and cream.



Take a look at Individualism.co.uk's Peace Corps look book in the clip below for ideas on styling.
