One of the best parts of going into the office is that some of my best friends also happen to be my coworkers. Even better? They have really good style, so I'm served with constant inspiration. Take our senior editor Natalie Gray Herder, for example. She's someone whose outfits I'm always asking about—and, more often than I'd like to admit, I FaceTime her from my couch while ordering the exact same things. (I love to match, sorry not sorry.) So when she tells me something is worth carrying to work, I listen. Coach has been delivering It bag after It bag for years now, and the Brooklyn Shoulder Bag is no exception. Recently, Natalie has been its biggest advocate. It's roomy, goes with literally everything, and doesn't really feel like a traditional work bag. Below, see two looks she's styled with the chic handbag for the office. Talk about fall outfit inspo.
"I've been eager to swap my wardrobe from summer to fall, but the Coach Brooklyn bag is a mainstay in my outfit rotation. Here I wore my brand new suede jacket and cargo pants that have been patiently waiting to make their seasonal debut. I styled this outfit with black leather flats and my Brooklyn bag to keep things in a neutral color palette. I love that the bag can still fit over my shoulder on my commute, even with a jacket on." — Herder
"This is my quintessential 'transitional wardrobe' outfit: a summer slip dress with a plaid flannel and trench coat. I was in a rush this morning, and I knew I could rely on the Brooklyn bag to tie my whole look together. My laptop is heavy, and the bag's shorter strap keeps my shoulder from getting sore by the time I walk to the office. I'll always prefer a sleek leather shoulder bag like this one to more traditional work bags and backpacks. It has the fashionable and polished look I'm going for, plus it fits all of my office essentials." — Herder
