Staying Stylish From Takeoff to Landing: A man's guide to having good baggage.

With spring break coming up, it's the perfect time of the year to plan a trip. This means you're going to need some serious travel gear. So spend some time thinking not just about what you're going to pack, but what you're going to pack it in.

Real Talk Fashion brings you all the travel gear you need to stay stylish from takeoff to landing. 


1. Carry Ons

Name: Jack Georges Nevada Duffle Bag
Price: $160
Where to Buy: Jack Georges


The idea of doing a piece on travel gear, came from this past weekend when a couple buddies of mine came to visit. All of them had backpacks, except one who had this great leather carry on. The bag was a Jack Georges, and the quality was unbelievable. The leather was so soft, I could have mistaken it for suede. The price tag may be steep, but this cabin bag will only look better with age. Real Talk...This bag has some real balls.

Name: Ben Sherman Canvas Weekender
Price: $47.99
Where to Buy: Ebags

I already knew Ben Sherman had a great line of british inspired mens clothing, but just recently found out their bags are just as great. These Brits get it right with this sick leather/canvas weekender. The dark marbled leather and light beige canvas, give this bag the perfect mix of luxury and utility. Just as the title says, this is the perfect weekend bag. 


Name: Belt Strap Army Bag
Price: $22.90
Where to Buy: 21Men

Easily one of my favorite bags, 21Men brings their "A" game with this khaki army bag. A classic staple in american culture, it instantly brings a vintage cool to any look. This bag is simple, can fit a good amount of stuff, and honestly just makes you look like a badass. 


Name:Faux Leather Carrying Bag
Price: $28.90
Where to Buy: 21Men


Keeping it in the same design house 21Men pumps out this super sleek faux leather carry all. Big enough for those longer trips and plenty of compartments for those smaller objects. And as always 21Men keeps it affordable with a price tag of only $28.90, you can't miss this deal.



2. Passport Cases


Name: Milano Collection Passport Cover
Price: $35.00
Where to Buy: Jack Georges

With all the crack downs on airport security and more countries requiring official passports, there's no way to get around it. So if you're going to have to carry your passport with you at all times, why not have it in a case that looks good. Jack George's colorful line of leather cases has a little something for everyone. If you're bold and like colors that pop, go for the orange or seaweed green. If you want to keep it conventional, black and tobacco brown look good as ever. 



3. Toiletry Bags


Name: GUESS Men's Travel Kit
Price: $35.00
Where to Buy: Amazon

Don't be the dude who is asking to borrow everyone else's shampoo and razors. This GUESS toiletry bag looks sophisticated and manly. I bet if you had this bag you would actually be excited to pack your own toiletries, yeah it looks that good.



Name: Dakine Men's Bomber Travel Kit
Price: $25.00
Where to Buy: Eternal Snow

For a more youthful look, Dakine takes the cake with their distressed Bomber travel kit. This bag looks rugged and keeps it fresh with its low key label and worn in finish. Perfect for those who live an active lifestyle and need the versatility of a toiletry bag they can rough up.
