I do, since in Argentina it's hot half the year and I cannot carry everything in my pockets. I don't think I can post pictures to show you yet, but I use a Military french medical bag, or a gray satchel.

I carry a Star Wars backpack on the daily. It's one of those ones that looks like a fashionable purse marketed towards women, but aaaay.

I would like to carry a small purse but my wife considers that to be sexist.

I do, but only when my purse matches my outfit.

Seriously, shorts have pockets for small items. Skirts mostly do not and that is when I carry a purse.

I'm just starting out and have recently bought a man's wallet, which I LOVE, so mostly that with chapstick, keys, and phone in pockets. I usually carry a very small backpack from Eddie Bauer if I need to be out for a while. It's about a foot long and a foot wide. Smartphones make it so much easier to not have to carry so many things anymore.

I carry a hiking backpack for work, primarily for things when I'm goofing off (comic books, ipad, copious amounts of snacks). I try not to carry a bag when I can avoid it, so just keys, wallet and phone in my pockets when I'm with friends.  When I was younger, I would use a messenger bag so that I could still carry my things in something other than a purse.  This was before I had the confidence to just start buying clothes in the men's department.
