When you’re going to the club the last thing you want to be carrying is a big bag. You want something cute to match your outfit, small enough to give you space to dance and a bag that is roomy enough to fit your lip combo, wallet and phone. As someone who has a massive bag collection, here’s my list of the best types of bags for going dancing
The 5 best bag types for dancing
Don’t be held back by having to hold your stuff. Find a great bag for going on a night out dancing from our top 5 choices.
1. The Y2k Bag
The Y2K Bag is ideal for those who want to make a fashion statement on a night of dancing. The Y2k style has become more popularised in the years since 2020 and is characterised by bold colours, metallic finishes, and quirky patterns. A Y2k style bag can add a fun, eye-catching element to any dance outfit. Additionally, the Y2k style of bags are often mini and compact which allows for easy movement on the dance floor.
Bags like these can be found near enough everywhere on the high street from Urban Outfitters to Bershka, so if this throwback style is the one for you you can easily find the perfect Y2K bag to complement your outfit and keep your essentials close while you dance the night away.
2. The Pouch Bag
I’m sure everyone has seen or heard of the viral Uniqlo bag but it’s viral for a reason. This pouch bag is minimalistic yet practical due to its roomy design – I once fit two waters and a t-shirt in my bag as well as my usual belongings! Its crossbody strap allows you to keep your belongings safe and close to your chest while you’re boogieing. The Pouch Bag’s sleek design also complements pretty much any outfit whether it’s casual or dressy, making it a versatile accessory for any dance occasion. If you think the Uniqlo bag is a bit overdone, don’t fret there are plenty of dupes that cater to everyone’s tastes like this Damson Madder Kidney Bag.
3. The Shoulder Bag
The Shoulder Bag offers the perfect balance between style and function, making it top choice for a night dancing. With a longer strap that rests on the shoulder, you can dance freely without worrying about your belongings. My go-to style of shoulder bag is a baguette bag and I always have enough space for my essentials, like my phone, purse, keys and makeup. The Shoulder Bag is timeless and helps you maintain a stylish appearance whilst also being small enough to take into any venue making it the perfect companion for any night out on the town.
4. The Crossbody Bag
The Mini Crossbody Bag is a style that has become more popular in recent years due to the trending Jaquemus bag. The long strap allows the bag to be worn across the body and typically sits at hip level. This makes it easy to reach your phone or lip gloss when needed. Its compact size and adjustable strap make it both practical and stylish, ensuring you can dance with ease and confidence. Additionally, designs like the Longchamp Mini Le Pliage, as well as the original Jaquemus bag, add a chic touch to any going-out outfit.
5. The Phone Bag
The Phone Bag is perfect if you tend to travel light. These bags are pecifically designed to hold just your phone as nowadays that’s basically all we need when we go out. It also has small compartments to hold essentials like cards or cash. This bag ensures that you have everything you need without being weighed down. I find a bag such as the one from Lucy and Yak is the perfect way to add a pop of colour and fun to your outfit whilst also being a practical accessory.
