"If you’ve been to an event at a stadium to see an icon in the past year or so, you’ve likely been hit with the clear bag policy. Gone are the days of bringing your go-to bag to a concert with you; now, if they aren’t clear bags, they aren’t allowed inside a stadium for an event. The last thing you want is to be standing at the entrance with your favorite going out purse, getting told you can’t enter with it (and debating if you should throw it into the bushes to try to find afterward).
Bringing a bag into a concert was already a feat within itself. You want something small, yet still big enough to hold any essentials you’ll need away from home, but not so big that it’s an inconvenience to hold onto during Chappel Roan’s HOT TO GO! dance break or while you’re scream-singing to Sabrina Carpenter. So where does this leave us with the clear bag situation? After hours of research, we’ve found that clear bags come in a million shapes and sizes, and—in a complete surprise—they’re also pretty cute.
We’ve found them all: belt bags, Y2K-style purses, saddle bags, hell, even ones that look a little Chanel-inspired. Prepare yourself now, avoid the shame-walk back to the car to put your stadium-forbidden purse in it later.
