Tote Your Technology in Style

By

Whether used for work, personal projects or just for entertainment, it seems we carry our laptops with us more often than not. And no matter how thin the notebook, we’re always on the search for something slimmer and lighter that takes up the least space possible. Laptop envelopes are great for travel near and far, and there are some seriously sleek styles on the market right now. But there is something to be said about eliminating the bulk of even the thinnest sleeve. We found five tech bags that not only have a padded compartment for your laptop with room to spare for the rest of your essentials, they are incredibly stylish as well.

Crumpler x Apple
Australian bag company Crumpler has partnered with Apple for an exclusive line of MacBook bags that have a sporty look about them. The Cut of Horror Backpack not only holds your 15-inch MacBook Pro, there is a separate padded pocket for an iPad. Water-resistant, your gear will be protected from the elements.

Perfect if you ride public transportation or travel often, the slim design of the Sling Bag won’t constantly be bumping into people in close quarters. The inner sleeve for an iPad or small laptop is entirely lined. Wear it messenger style or just slung over one shoulder.

HM Steel Amber by Arnold & Son: a minimalist watch with a unique amber dial
Arnold & Son is back again with a new stone dial watch
Arnold & Son HM Steel Amber

Watches made from natural stones have an interesting aesthetic. While different brands have unveiled watches made from platinum, gold, and stainless steel, only a few have focused on high-quality gemstones.

Arnold & Son went out of the box with this new watch, the HM Steel Amber. It features a green dial, which is carved from a natural-occurring stone, amber. The appearance changes under different lighting conditions, giving the front face a unique look. It takes a million years for the gemstone to crystallize. While the dial is characterized by a light green hue, it also has a light brown hue that’s quite stylish.

An expert from Moose Knuckles explains this year’s long coat obsession
Industry expert helps us with the long winter coat
man in long coat

When I walked around New York City throughout the month of February, I noticed a trend that seemed to overtake the entire island of Manhatten: The men's long winter coat. Around every corner during New York Men's Day and New York Fashion Week were puffer coats extending all the way to the mid-shins or lower. While the Big Apple is one of the colder big cities, I was surprised to see a melting pot of a city entirely overtaken by one overwhelming trend. In an attempt to understand the phenomenon, I reached out to Ryan Lewis, Director of Community & Culture at Moose Knuckles, one of the brands with the most significant footprint among the bundled-up masses.
Why the long coat?

The key to wearing a coat and remaining stylish is to strike a balance between something fashionable and something functional. You need to be protected from the winds, rains, snows, and ice, but that doesn't mean you can't look as good as you feel. Lewis believes that is partially what drove that explosion this season.
