Whether you're jet-setting or just headed to the gym, these stylish and functional picks will hold all your gear.

A weekender bag is a wardrobe must-have — and not just for travel. The versatile staple can take you to the gym, to the office, to the beach or park, and so much more. But to find the perfect weekender for your needs, you'll want to consider how you'll be using it most often.

For example, if you’re going to be toting around your laptop — whether to the office on a daily commute or through the airport on a work trip — you’ll need a supportive bag with a protective sleeve that will keep your tech safe and organized. If you’re going to be carrying mostly clothes — to the gym or on short trips — opt for a lightweight, unstructured duffel bag. If you'll mostly be traveling by air with your bag, you'll be dealing with more rigid size and dimension constraints. To find the best weekender bags, we considered a range of practical uses, as well as style and budget preferences.
