Would you wear a backpack with a suit in your daily commute?

I feel that it tends to look a bit childish :s

I see... would you then wear a leather backpack with your other work clothes (shirts, coats, etc.) to work? Felt that a backpack helps with my posture in my long commute to work and allows me to free up my hands to look at my phone, books etc...

Just my opinion...backpacks are for either (a) backpacking/hiking or (b) grade school kids.

What kind of suit? I wouldn't wear a backpack with a conservative business dress suit, but I often wear one with linen or cord or cotton suits, and even with more casual woollen flannel suits.

I would agree with you, any backpack is hard to go with a more formal suit but a good leather one would be fine with other work clothes such as more casual looking suits or coats.

i wear an ugly backpack but not because its stylish but convenient for gym and my daily routine, who cares if that doesn't resemble the "pitti look":) but in my dreams I am driven in a black SUV (traffic doesn't exist) and I step out the car looking like a badass in my $10k michael browne suit:)
