What to wear: Top 5: Tote bags

Posted: January 17, 2012. Filed under: What to wear

Although we might be coming to the end of the January sales, we all know deep down that the shopping is going to continue all the way through 2012. Even if you’re not going to cram them full of accessories and little luxuries, a tote bag is brilliantly useful for grocery shopping. Far more environmentally friendly than a plastic bag, these roomy shoppers look stylish as you wander down the aisles and can fit a whole host of cans, bottles, veggies and delicious items from the bakery.

If you’ve shied away from Supermarket brand ‘green’ bags with logos and captions, then purchase yourself a fun colourful two-tone tote which will brighten up any outfit. From the truly indulgent to the cheerfully cheap, there’s a perfect match for you. Crocodile skin leather creates a gorgeous texture and is stylish enough to be used as so much more than a shopping bag, as will a boxy monochrome look. A slouchy market style tote is an interesting casual alternative, and colour blocking or interesting textured options can be found at high street prices.

So, it’s time to stop stocking up on pointless plastic. Invest in a quality tote today and whatever colour you choose, you’ll know it will always be green.
