This season at the spring 2024 menswear shows, one bag made its rounds on the arms of best-dressed men: the classic L.L.Bean boat tote. Coming in at just under $45, this tote is beloved by many for its accessibility and practicality—it was made to lug all your dry-land essentials onto, well, a boat, so it will certainly fit in your everyday items too. The best part about it, though, is that it can be personalized; wear yours with a classic monogram embroidery or experiment with funny words or even pins and patches. Scroll through for the best boat totes in street style here.

Rather than your classic embroidered monogram, this street styler experimented with patch on initials.  Florence, spring 2024 menswear
