Handbags, shoulder bags, backpacks, messenger bags, different bags have their markets to different people. Among all the bags, perhaps the most widely chosen are shoulder bags and messenger bags. Although these two kinds of bags have differences, they actually share some similarities.
In terms of practicability, whether shoulder bags or messenger bags, the basic function is the same: to hold things. At this point, the size of bags varies a lot to cater to people's needs.
Another similarity has to do with the changeability of messenger bags to shoulder bags. As we know, messenger bags can also be used as shoulder bags although the straps are a bit longer. As a matter of fact, this way of wearing messenger bags have already become quite popular.
In case of difference, the most obvious one between these two kinds of bags is the length of the straps. Normally, the straps of shoulder bags are shorter to make sure the bags don't pat on the people who wear them. In comparison, the straps of messenger bags have to be longer than shoulder bags to ensure that people can wear them across their shoulders.
However, apart from this easily seen difference, the most important distinction concerns about costume match. At this point, people have to consider if the bags they are going to wear go with their dressings. Generally speaking, messenger bags are more suitable to go with sports clothes and leisure clothes, while shoulder bags are a preferable choice to people who wear fashionable clothes.
Besides, gender also seems to play a part in the choice of bags, for we don't usually see men with shoulder bags. Instead, men often appear with a messenger bag across their shoulders. In contrast, women are not very particular about these two kinds of bags. For them, both kinds are OK as long as they go with their clothes.
All in all, shoulder bags and messenger bags both have their shining features. If you are a bag lover, it'll be a good idea for you to buy both kinds of bags to go with different dressings as well as for different occasions. Or with the coming of multi-use bags, you can enjoy a double, or even triple, advantage: to have a shoulder bag, a messenger bag, and even a handbag at the same time with just one bag at hand.
