Stadium Clear Bags That Won't Ruin Your Outfit
Here are the three purses I ordered off of Amazon and my honest review of each.
Clear bags for sports games and concerts have become the bane of fashion girls’ existence. They’re typically ugly, don’t match, and clutter a look by revealing the secret chaos women keep in their purses.
I ritually find myself asking before a stadium event, “Why can’t I just use my cute purse that matches my outfit?” Well, I know why, and I agree with the safety measure, so after my inevitable rant, it was finally time for a game plan to address the dreaded eye sore.
On Saturday, I attended the NWSL’s Boston Legacy FC inaugural game against reigning champions Gotham FC at Gillette Stadium, and this summer, I’m planning to attend multiple World Cup games — all of which have clear bag policies.
If it was a one-off case for a clear bag, I’d likely suck it up and use the free transparent fanny pack I got at work. But with multiple once-in-a-lifetime games, a fanny pack just wasn’t going to cut it. After all, there’s a reason I’ve been nicknamed Bag Lady since preschool.
A real purse was required.
I went into my research last week with two goals:
The bag needed a similar structure and quality to a regular purse
It had to match my outfits for various soccer games
I scoured Amazon for longer than I care to admit, but in the end, I came to the conclusion that clear bags with top handles and faux leather trimming on every edge were my best bets.
Here are the three bags I ended up ordering off of Amazon and my honest thoughts on each:
Bag 1: KKXIU Clear Crossbody Bag in Black
Pros:
This bag is very high quality with clean stitching and a unique shape that holds its form. It definitely would stand out at events.
The top handle feels so chic and would be my go-to way to carry the purse.
There are no metal hoops to hook the crossbody strap to. Instead the strap has a piece of metal that slides to the side to hook onto the top handle. So, if you don’t want to use the strap, there’s no awkward metal indicating a strap is missing.
Cons:
The purse is smaller than the other two bags I ordered. While it’s definitely large enough for a small purse girlie, as someone who’s used to carrying larger purses, I prefer a little more room.
The silver hardware came out beautifully, but I tend to wear gold jewelry and was planning to attach gold World Cup keychains.
Not having metal hoops to hook a strap onto eliminates the option of using a fun replacement strap like I had planned.
Bag 2: Amazon VUIASK Clear Purse in Black
Pros:
This bag’s shape beautifully resembles a high quality bag such an Hermès Kelly.
This bag has the thickest and highest quality clear plastic out of all three bags.
It has gold hardware and was the only bag with feet, which is always an indicator of purse quality.
It is the cheapest (I got it on sale for $9.99).
Cons:
It’s a little smaller than the third bag, which is a similar shape.
While black technically matches with everything, it felt like it needed some color to match my outfits better.
The only place to hook a crossbody strap would be up top, which would hang a little awkwardly.
Bag 3: ScarvesMe Clear Crossbody Bag in Orange
Pros:
Like the bag above, this bag’s shape beautifully resembles a high quality bag such an Hermès Kelly.
It has rings on the sides to attach a replacement strap of your choosing.
It has gold hardware with a thick turn lock.
The color is vibrant and eye-catching. It would be sure to turn heads and matches my Legacy Common Ground jersey and Netherlands World Cup attire.
Cons:
This is the only bag that isn’t Amazon Prime. I still received free shipping and can return the item, but this could affect shipping depending on where you live.
The clear plastic is nice but not as thick as that of Bag 2.
It doesn’t have feet on the bottom.
It has a textured faux leather vs. smooth like the other two bags.
In the end, I can honestly say that I love all three and would keep them all if I attended enough stadium events. If you’re just as torn as I was, here’s how I would award each bag:
Bag 1: KKXIU Clear Crossbody Bag in Black
🏅Most unique shape
Bag 2: Amazon VUIASK Clear Purse in Black
🏅Highest quality clear material
Bag 3: ScarvesMe Clear Crossbody Bag in Orange
🏅Most colorful and eye-catching
Check back tomorrow to see which bag I went with and how I personalized it. In the meantime, which purse would you pick?
