Many men are often reluctant to carry purses, thinking that it somehow takes away from their masculinity to carry a bag. But more men should be rocking bags,
both as a fashion statement and because it's practical. Every now and again a fashion site will wonder if "man bags" are a new trend. But the truth is, men have been embracing stylish bags for a long time now and people need to get with it. So here is a list of some celebrity men showing men everywhere how it's done.
1. Kanye WestKanye West's style tends to be very neutral in colour and the same goes for the bags he carries. His look is very simple and chic. He's often seen carrying larger bags in addition to backpacks.

It doesn't matter the colour, designer, style, or size - Pharrell can rock pretty much any kind of purse you can imagine. Pharrell was chosen as Chanel's first male handbag model and also teamed up with Moynat to design his own handbag line.

3. Hugh JackmanWolverine himself is known to carry a bag from time to time. Jackman tends to keep it simple, choosing functionality instead of attempting to make a fashion statement, and generally only seems to carry bags with simple patterns (like his Louis Vuitton Duffel) or in solid black colours.

Billboard*cough*. But the king of breaking down gender norms was doing so long before he sat in a pool of undrinkable toxic run-off! In fact, Harry shattered gender norms long before his album came out by carrying around several different styles of handbags.
