Heading to work this fall -- especially in a hybrid capacity -- means a work tote is a must-have purchase.

And when you're carrying your day-to-day needs commuting in and out of your job, it's essential that your bag is not only functional but also fashionable.

"Resist the urge to go too big in size. You’re not going to summer camp, just to your office," said "Good Morning America" lifestyle contributor Lori Bergamotto. "Do yourself a favor by paring things down to just the essentials."

If you need to bring your laptop, lunch and change of clothes with you back and forth to work, "GMA" rounded up totes, backpacks and purses to meet your "work bag" needs.
