Save yourself the embarrassment of having to walk back to your car for having the wrong bag.

I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

Since every artist has decided to go on tour and all your friends are planning trips to the baseball stadium, it's time to get serious — and I'm not talking about comfortable shoes (which are also important). I'm talking about clear bags! After spending months planning a showstopping outfit, the last thing you want is your purse ruining the vibe or getting you scolded by security for not reading the policy correctly.

You'll find the perfect clear bag here, whether you're headed to a sold-out show, a dusty music festival, or a playoff game at a stadium. We feature a variety of sizes, from chic crossbodies and a mini backpack perfect for small essentials to roomy totes and even a drawstring bag if diapers and blankets are a necessity. Plus, we have some luxury options if you're feeling extra fancy. Now your fit can stay on point and keep you flying through security. 

A custom patch and strap crossbody so in the sea of other clear bags, no one will be doing it like you! Make everyone jealous at your next K-Pop concert when you have your favorite idol's initials or name on your bag. You might just get ambushed with fan girls asking where you got it. You can also keep it simple with your own initials, so it works for any event. 

J & J Modern Designs is small business that specializes in meaningful custom gifts. 

Promising review: "Love this purse!! It’s everything that I expected and more. I can’t wait to bring it to concerts!" —Etsy Buyer 

Get it from J & J Modern Designs from Etsy for $27.12+ (choose from seven strap designs and up to five letter patches). 

A minaudiere crossbody bag with gold accents that'll keep your outfit chic, while still letting you fly through security. I'm just saying — Bruno Mars is coming to town and I know you wanna look your best. It has a solid acrylic body to keep your belongings safe and a sleek clasp for easy access for whipping out your phone for photos. 

Promising review: "Looooved this bag. I used it for a concert and it was perfect. It’s stylish and small and of course fit the clear bag policy for the stadium. Would definitely recommend." —Brittany 

A full-size backpack from Athleta, because if you are trying events with kids, you know you can't afford to leave anything behind. You also don't want to spend ten minutes dumping out your entire diaper bag, then having to pack it all back up at security. This can fit snacks, water, diapers, and even a small picnic blanket for field concerts. There's also a smaller front pouch for easier access to your wallet or phone. This is perfect for festivals too, especially if you tend to designate yourself as the group camel. 

Promising reviews: "This clear bag is the perfect size for events that have a clear bag policy. Love the comfy straps and two separate zip compartments." —Thyra 

"I needed a new backpack for work, and this one takes the cake! Great amount of space and so durable and strong. It's also super easy to clean since I work in healthcare. It's a great mix of sporty, stylish, and practical." —Anonymous 

A hardside crossbody shaped like a mini Away suitcase that'll actually help protect your belongings when you end up in a mosh pit or crushed by pushing fans trying to get to the front of the stage. (Believe me, been there, done that.) Similar to their full-size suitcase, it's designed with a sturdy shell and a quality zipper for secure travel. It'll also fit snugly in your suitcase if you have any international concerts coming up. 

Promising review: "I am a big fan of Away, so when I needed a clear bag that I could use at concerts and events, given this is still a thing... I jumped on this one. I wanted something that was stylish and could also fit the basic items I carry when attending stuff. It really is a quality carry; the straps are detachable, and the body itself is incredibly sturdy/resilient. Kinda nice having a go-to bag now for those 'clear bag only' type events." —Betsy M. 

Get it from Away for $75 (available in five colors). 

A Wrangler sling bag with a faux-leather strap that'll be your go-to no matter the outfit. It'll fit perfectly with your leather boots at your next country concert, or get it in black to match your Doc Martins if that's more your vibe. The pocket is large enough to fit your phone, wallet, and other essentials if you are planning to pack light. It also sits comfortably right in front of your body, so you don't have to worry about pickpockets when you're having fun. 

Promising review: "I purchased this because I was going to an NFL game and wanted a compliant bag that didn’t sacrifice style. This is a super cute bag that was clear, compact, and compliant, but still able to hold all of my necessities. I love it so much, I am considering getting it in black. I feel it’s the perfect bag for events that require clear totes. Would definitely purchase again and recommend to a friend." —Ashley V.  

A Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag so you can bust a move in peace without fear of knocking the person next to you with a handbag. Trust, having free hands at a concert is life-changing. This also gives you easy access to your essentials so you don't have to fumble looking for your wallet when it's time to get a drink. 

Promising review: "I am always needing clear bags for games but I want something that still matches my style. So when I saw this I knew it was perfect. The size fits any stadium guidelines and of course, she’s a cute bag!" —sweat collective member  

A medium-size tote with a detachable strap that'll become your holy grail for festivals, as you can fit sunscreen, first aid kits, a blanket, and even a change of shoes for the moment your heels betray you. The detachable strap gives you the choice to wear it on your shoulder or as a crossbody, whichever makes it easier to hold all day. Parents also love this as an alternative to a diaper bag. 

Promising review: "Bought for my family to bring into a stadium event, and it was great. Fits a ton, and the options for carrying are great. Has a small zipper spot in the front and two side pockets. Definitely a great option for a family or instead of a diaper bag if clear bags are the only option." —Spencer

A handbag with a detachable gold chain that you might just wear even after the concert. It's a classic shape that goes with any and every outfit, so when you get invited to a last-minute comedy show date, there's no stress. Nothing is worse than awkwardly holding up the security line — night ruined. 

Promising review: "Yesss!!! I can take it to music festivals and concerts now where they required bags to be small and clear ! Its so cute and goes with my outfits" —Jen 

Get it from Amazon $25.99 (available in black or white). 

A tote-style handbag with a magnetic clasp, if you have a few extra things to carry but not enough that you gotta whip out your larger bag.

Plus, there's an extra magnetic clasp over the zipper for more security. 

Promising review: "Great for amusement parts and events! Going through security is easy now! Quick checks without taking everything out. Easy to see from the outside! This has made my journey so much easier and less stressful! If you go out often and bag checks are needed, this is a must-have. The bag is comfortable to hold and durable. You can make it stylish and have easily adjustable straps. Roomy bag to stuff up!" —Carlo K.

A mini backpack with front and side pockets for those stricter venues that have a bag size requirement. There will be no walk of shame to put this bag back in the car. As a frequent concert goer who loves to buy merch, I think that this would be perfect to store your extra expensive T-shirt without fear of it getting ruined.  

Promising review: "Great bag for music festivals. We bought circular expandable stools, and it was possible to fit one of them in this bag with a t-shirt, which is great. I also love the simple design. I've only brought it to one festival so far, but I feel it's good quality and will last. I liked it so much, I bought a second one in another color!" —Mary 

Get it from Amazon for $12.75 (available in 21 colors).

An iridescent mini tote crossbody from Casemate because no clear bag policy is gonna ruin your ~whimsy~. This tiny but mighty bag can hold a lot while still being comfortable as a crossbody or handbag. If "basic" isn't in your vocabulary, you need this. I'm also praying for a Justin Bieber or an Olivia Rodrigo tour so I can rock their signature purple. 

Promising review: "Exactly as pictured! Super cute and adorable. Very good quality, love that it has the long skinny strap to wear it as a crossbody or just hold the little handles. You can dress it up or down. It does have tiny little openings on each end of the zipper so it’s not completely closed off." —Nicole

You might actually want to stash it in the front pocket so you can have it on standby. 

Promising review: "This clear purse is perfect for ball games, concerts, or just shopping. Not too small and not too big. I've purchased other clear purses in the past, but the quality of those were not as good as this one. The strap is so soft and you can tell the material is much better quality." —MrsW

Promising review: "Cute little bag for concerts. It fits your phone, it will fit your cosmetics, it will fit a small wallet, and is comfortable around the neck. It stores way more than you think it can and has lasted several concerts. Not too big, not too small, it's a perfect size." —Kat

A purse with a turnlock clasp and gold-tone studs for that added edge that was missing from your concert outfit. Who said clear bags had to be basic?
