The use of designer totes in a professional manner is more than just a fashion statement. The right bag can be a versatile method for carrying items without detracting from one's professional appearance. The right bag is not bright and flashy, but instead a non distracting essential item.

A designer bag is a great choice for attending a job interview. Presentation means everything, but the wrong tote can make the right outfit look out of place. The first impression the interviewer gets can be all that stands in your way of getting hired. That vital first impression is most often what an interviewer will use to make their decision on hiring you. A laid back appearance makes just as bold an impression as a professional appearance does.

Small and simple, but elegant are key for formal interviews. A small bag will allow basic grooming items, a phone, some cash and a set of keys to be carried without being bulky. A small bag is much easier to rest unnoticed on one's lap, unlike large bulky totes. Larger bags tend to temp people into stuffing them to full of things they likely don't need as well.

Stick with simple colors while in formal use as well. Black and different shades of brown are classic choices and are easily paired with many different outfits. Other colors are possible choices, but they need to match the outfit being worn. When they aren't matching they can give a tacky appearance. Never choose bold and bright colors in a formal situation. Never choose bold and bright outfits for formal situations either.

Sturdy support structure is another vital feature for a professional tote. Some basic cloth and leather bags will scrunch and slouch, which looks really sloppy. That sloppy look can create a bad first impression. Before a bag is purchased, evaluate the inside to see if it is reinforced well enough to not slouch.

Once the job interview is over and hiring is done, the same professional presentation should be maintained. Each day at work clean and appropriate attire, with a professional looking tote, should be worn. Doing one's job correctly and efficiently is important, but so is appearance in the work place. Showing up to work in dirty and wrinkled clothing is never acceptable.

A professional looking tote filled with grooming items can be quite useful. When meetings are scheduled at the end of the day, those items can be used to make yourself a little more presentable. A hair brush, makeup and other items used to look your best are all great choices.

Designer totes can be incorporated into any professional wardrobe as long as certain rules are remembered. A professional appearance should be kept at all times, even when choosing which bag to pack. The wrong kind of bag can make an entire outfit look hideous. Remember to keep things small and simple but with a classic appeal.
