Whether you're going to work or school, carrying a bag is an essential part of being prepared for the day.

While briefcases and messenger bags might be more sophisticated options for professionals, they're almost always too formal for students and casual commuters. Besides, many premium- looking bags comes with a high price tag.

Backpacks, on the other hand, fit in at the office, on the hiking trail, and everywhere in between.They are easily the best bang-for-your-buck bag and they're extremely practical. 

With a budget of $100, you can find a great bag to fit your carrying requirements and your personal taste. Companies like Patagonia, The North Face, Incase, and more all make durable, yet affordable backpacks.
