There is no one color that's best for a briefcase, and in most cases it will depend on your personal choice or style.
Brown is by far the most popular briefcase colour, either solid brown or tan, so consider that when choosing your briefcase.
You may also want to match it with the color of your watch strap, shoes, and belt.
If you want to look the part of a professional, a briefcase is key. When one conjures up an image of a professional businessman or businesswoman the image is one of a sharply dressed person in a business suit for ladies, and a suit and tie for men. They do not have a backpack slung across their shoulders or a messenger bag laying low on their hip. No, they have a briefcase in their hand. For this reason, a briefcase makes a great gift for a graduate of a law school or business-related program. A briefcase is not always the most practical way to carry your work-related items though. Because a briefcase is designed to be carried with a handle it can be more difficult to manage if you have a lot of stuff or if you need to carry your briefcase for an extended period of time. If you are not concerned about looking formal or professional, sometimes a backpack or a messenger bag will make it much easier to get all of your necessary items to the office and home again.
Although briefcases are meant to be carried by the small handle on the top of the bag most briefcases now come equipped with a shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is great for very short term use but people have found that overusing this feature can lead to damage to their attire. The strap rubs against the shoulder of your coat or shirt and causes wrinkling and sometimes even rips and tears.
If you like the look of a briefcase and plan to use one, remember that these bags are designed for short trips to and from your home and the office. Trying to use this type of bag to hold all of your gym clothes, library books and water bottle will not work out too well. If this is the situation for you consider a backpack or a duffel bag.
