Kelly Wynne Clear Mingle Mingle Mini Crossbody Bag ($175)
The rules about what you can and can’t bring into a sports venue have changed, so always double-check before heading out. Many only accept small, clear handbags now, but that doesn’t mean they have to be clinical. This one from Kelly Wynne features a printed strap and panel in addition to gold hardware for a little shine. The gold and printed chain strap is removable if you prefer to carry your bag under your arm. It’s just the right size for your card case, phone and lipstick to ensure you have the essentials covered for game day.
