Best overnight bags for women: from Longchamp classics to adidas duffles
OFF for a cheeky staycation? You’ll be needing a bag to fit a couple of outfits, toiletries and all those ‘essentials’ that you probably won’t end up using i.e. that 500 page novel you’ve been meaning to read for the past year.
The best overnight bags are spacious, long-lasting and look good; black is most versatile yet if you’re prone to wearing neutral tones then you might want to brighten up with a splash of colour.
There are a few things to take into consideration when buying a weekend bag. If you like to have choices of what to wear and follow extensive makeup and skincare routines, then you’re going to need a roomy bag even if you’re only staying for one night.
Wheelie bags are always a bonus if you’re not packing light as it takes the pressure off your shoulders.
Low maintenance? You don’t need to lug around a huge case, there are lots of rucksacks that’ll do the trick just fine.
To help you decide which style suits you, we’ve found the best overnight bags to shop now, from designer classics to sporty streetwear gems.
