Our Editors’ Ultimate Gym-Bag Essentials

The perfect gym bag needs to be able to do it all: carry your workout necessities, transition from the office to the gym, and hold up after being stuffed into a locker and packed with sweaty gear.

Whether you're into the whole sport-chic thing or want a more subtle look, your locker room is about to get a whole lot more stylish.
