Men's One-Shoulder Tops: A Buying Guide

To choose the perfect shoulder bag, you must first consider how you’ll use it. Although it’s a practical accessory for any occasion, the models available on the market are designed to meet specific needs.

First and foremost, taking a look at the dimensions will help you figure out which shoulder bags to rule out. While the length is more or less standardized at 20 cm, the internal capacity can range from 4.5 cm in small models—such as the “Roncato” single-shoulder bag from the Round Dlx line—to the spacious organization of the travel shoulder bag from the “Tumi Alpha 3” line, made of ballistic nylon, over 12 cm wide, and with an expansion capacity of an additional 5 cm.

So, if you’re looking for a true travel companion for your vacations, your choice will inevitably fall on the wider single-shoulder bags, which allow you to carry items, devices, and documents so they’re always within easy reach.

Another factor to consider is weight: with single-shoulder backpacks, the weight is distributed between the neck and shoulder, which may prove uncomfortable in certain situations. In these cases, if you don’t want to sacrifice the practicality and design of a large single-strap bag, you can opt for a model made of lightweight fabric, such as the nylon items from Piquadro and Roncato, which weigh around 400g. The Piquadro Bios single-shoulder bag, made from recycled ECONYL nylon, for example, is an excellent choice in terms of functionality, with a well-organized interior and a weight of just 292 g.

It is also a “Piquadro” Green product, made from regenerated and eco-friendly materials.
