I accidentally bought a men's backpack?

It was in the girls section so I bought it for school, so now I'm stuck with this backpack and I don't know what to do? Is it noticeable? I know this sounds stupid but will people notice? (Sorry, I have a really bad case of anxiety) can anyone help? Should I style it so it's more feminine? I thought it was unisex...ahhhhh.

    They are probably STRONGER than the girl's version.

    ONLY you would know that! Inside or outside, there is no TAG anywhere that says: I'm a girl's backpack, is there?

    Purses, backpacks, etc. EXCEPT WALLETS are all generics. As long as they're the main generic colors.

    Backpacks are generally unisex except for the ones that conspicuously have something "boyish" or "girlish" on them, like Barbie or Ben10, flowers or cars, etc. If it's just a regular backpack, it really is not noticeable at all, and no one will see or care. If it matters that much, you can always go exchange it for a girlier one. Or just jazz it up with some buttons, and if it's light coloured enough, you can draw, write and colour on it- that way it's more personalized.

    Calm down girl. If you didn't notice it at first, no one at your school is going too either. The only way it'd be super noticeable is if a cartoon character from a boy show. I understand you're obsessing because you have anxiety (i have anxiety too) but try to breath. No one at your school will give a damn about your backpack. If you can't stop worrying about just put jewels or bows on it or something like that.

    Could you put a picture of it? It might help a lot. Otherwise you can try to turn it back to shop or google men backpacks. Try to compare them and see if the difference is really noticable. Back in the days my friends were painting their backpacks with some flowers and other girly things to make it more cool. It might also help.

    If you thought it was unisex I'm sure everyone else will too It will be fine, if your still insecure about it add some personal touches to it like a keychain or something!

    As long as it's an adult backpack (like no cartoons or whatever) or a generic color.

    You could always add ribbons and buttons or glitter. Be dazzle it.

    Make it your own and it'll be cuter than a pre - designed "girl backpack" anyways! (:

    But I don't think they're like belts and shirts; no one should be able to see which way the zipper goes and identify that it's for a "boy."

    Just jazz it up a bit. Make it your own. No one will notice.

    Unless it has some boyish character on it you will be fine. Nobody will notice.

    I did not know backpacks were gender-specific.
