The Want: A handsome, affordable, and office-appropriate shoulder bag that can ferry rugged workout gear and athletic shoes and double as a briefcase.
 
The Get: The Adidas Strength Duffel ($60; zappos.com) compartmentalizes your workday into a manageable tote. Workout clothes can be stuffed in a ventilated bay while two large padded pockets can accommodate a tablet or laptop, water bottles, and essential paperwork. With its fluorescent piping, the duffel isn’t for the secret gym rat who scurries off to pump iron during lunch breaks. Rather, it broadcasts to your boss and clients that you take care of yourself.
