If you are heading back to college or university in September, you can never quite underestimate the power of a chic and trendy backpack. For anyone looking to swap their beach carryall for a fashion-forward knapsack, we’ve curated our roundup of must-have backpacks to add to your accessory collection. Whether your personal style is edgy or sleek and sophisticated, look no further than these backpack picks for September.

adidas Originals Floral Print Backpack, $58: Flowery prints can easily transition from the summer months into the early months of autumn. This floral backpack features swirls of orange, green and purple against a black background.

Sole Society Emery Faux Leather Backpack, $60: From dark wash denim to collared blouses and A-line dresses, a faux leather backpack can easily complete your look of the day. We are liking this Sole Society bag, which makes a statement with its metallic zippers and fringed detail.

Mali + Lili Hannah Vegan Leather Backpack, $75: A pop of colour can easily revive your accessory statement, and this vegan leather backpack certainly pops with its punchy pink tone. Along with the eye-catching colour, we are liking the gold zippers and textured surface.

Steve Madden Boken Backpack, $83: This blush knapsack has a minimalist vibe, but also has an edge with the chain around the top strap. For anyone who thinks that a pale pink bag is too girly, this backpack is a slightly more rebellious take on the look.
