Sling Bags

Take a break from your crossbody! Chances are you’ve seen women wearing sling bags everywhere. Whether they’re sporty or chic, you’re guaranteed to see these all over Instagram and throughout the city.

What makes them so desirable? The convenience. You can keep your hands free and have easy access to your bag to get what you need when you need it, rather than needing to place your bag down and find what you need. It’s perfect for the days where you only need to carry a few items–like your phone, wallet, and lip balm–so you don’t have to lug around a big tote.

Bonus: depending on its size, it may even fit bag size requirements when heading into stadiums or concert venues this summer!

There’s no wrong way to wear them! You can style them across the front, across the back, or across your hip.

Clear Bags

Transparent bags have been popular for a few years now, so it’s evident that they’re here to stay! If you find that you’re constantly digging through your purse to find what you need, clear bags are the perfect solution for you. Conveniently locate the item you’re looking for thanks to the bag’s transparent style! And these are a fashionable option for security checks at concert venues or stadiums you head to this summer.

How can you style a clear bag?

  • Put a designer bag within a clear bag to protect it and make it stand out.

  • Line the inside with a beautiful scarf for a bit of privacy and color!

  • Add a thick decorative strap or clip a fun purse fob to your clear bag.

Remember: just because a bag is clear doesn’t mean it’s boring! With fun handles, colorful outlines, and other designs, a clear bag can be ultra trendy.
