Sarah Jessica Parker is switching things up.

While the actress is usually spotted with a convenient crossbody purse, she recently swapped the compact bag for a much roomier — but no less practical — fuss-free backpack.

On March 6, Parker carried the bag, slung effortlessly over one shoulder, when visiting an art gallery in London with her husband, Matthew Broderick. Keeping with her backpack’s practical vibe, the 58-year-old wore light-wash jeans, brown boots, and a lightweight, spring-ready jacket. She finished the ’fit by adding a pair of black sunglasses.

Parker’s tried-and-true crossbody purse may be well-suited for toting essentials, but her spacious backpack is ideal for outings that require a bit more preparation — like weekend trips, commutes to work, and, in this case, a long day at the art gallery. Plus, a backpack’s dual straps mean it’s easier to carry than a tote bag, so you can pack yours to the brim without worrying about potential shoulder pain.

The best part about Parker’s backpack? It highlights the convenience of knapsacks without the school-ready look. Below, we rounded up backpacks inspired by Parker at Amazon, Calpack, Béis, and more. Prices start at just $21.
