As the new year kicks off, the influx of travel plans follows suit—and sporting one of the best weekender bags is an essential part of your on-the-go wardrobe, whether you’re headed to Aspen for ski season or you have a romantic weekend getaway planned for Valentine’s Day. After all, the need for a versatile tote bag that can hold all your belongings, be comfortable to carry around and look super chic in the process, is key.

What makes the perfect weekender bag? Duffle bags are great for over-stuffing, while large canvas totes will securely keep your outfits neatly folded and ready for dinner reservations. For those requiring a little more space (hi, overpackers anonymous), a carry-on case may be a more practical option.
