15 Chic Tote Bags Your Work Wardrobe Isn't Complete Without
If you’re reading this, then at some point in the distant (or not-so-distant past), the end of August signified a time for back-to-school shopping for you. Us too. And, as stressful as it was at the time (because who doesn’t want to come back with a bang), we have to admit we kind of miss it. There was something exciting about shopping for what felt like your chance for a post-summer revamp, with endless opportunity to come back from break better than ever.
Well, fear not because today we’ve found a way to relive our back-to-school shopping days without the actual school part. A fresh work tote is like the adult backpack, and you deserve to come back from your summer trip with a shiny new one to show off (and carry all your essentials, of course).

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
