I saw this one on the T this morn and decided to make a note to the world. Wearing a backpack with your suit makes you look like at best out of place and at worst, partially retarded.
Seeing people wear a backpack reminds me of my days back in Freshman year at Babson. Ah, the floors were sticky with promise back then, but I digress. For our first presentations of the year, most students wore their first suit. Although many committed other egregious fashion sins (see here), this one was all over the place. Before anyone had a briefcase, they had backpacks, so the wore them with their suit.
I refused to do this and would carry my books to class rather than looking like some bizarre cross between Quasimodo and Bud Fox. So to all of you out there with backpack and suits - get a briefcase, or at least something with one shoulder strap. It will help your suit maintain its shape and you'll look and feel better!

I couldn't agree less with you. Backpacks and suits don't go together.
Often people justify them by saying that they have too much stuff to carry. In that case I think they should invest in a good executive case with Wheels.
