The consensus is in and this year’s most coveted (and unexpected) accessory is none other than a clear bag. PVC bags are having quite the moment right now — and for good reason. For starters, how many times do you find yourself rummaging through your bags, trying to find what you’re looking for? Well, with a clear bag, that problem can be resolved completely as you’ll be able to see the entirety of your bag’s contents.
Plus, they force you to be a bit more organized — because you definitely don’t want to look like you’re carrying around a cluttered mess. We usually have receipts, crumbs, and plenty of other things we’d rather not mention lying around in our bags, and having a clear bag gives us incentive to clean up, and only carry the essentials.
Arguably the biggest appeal of a clear bag is that since many stadiums are requiring clear accessories for security purposes at events, you can carry all of your travel essentials with ease — whether you’re attending one of this year’s many incredible concerts or are simply hoping to catch a football game this season (or, you know, just a glimpse of Taylor Swift). While we’re totally behind the idea of clear bags in stadiums, we also want to look cute, which is precisely why we curated a guide to the best clear bags for concerts and stadium games — with styles that range from belt bags, convertible crossbody bags, and even functional tote bags.
