The US Open Tennis Championships are here. If plan to watch in person, it's essential to be prepared. My mom and I go every year and it's a long day with a lot of walking. It's always super hot outside and/or downpouring with rain. Wearing a practical (yet cute) outfit and packing some essentials can really make the day so much better.
If you're not sure what to pack, you're in the right place. Unfortunately, you can't bring a huge bag into the stadium, but I have narrowed things down to include a list of essentials that you can easily bring in a small crossbody bag.
You're gonna want to be hands-free throughout the day. Wear this bag as a crossbody or a shoulder bag. It's compact, yet there's room for all of your small must-haves.

Shoppers Say: "The size is just right. I can fit everything I need in it. I love having so many color choices. Quality is great. This is my second one, and I will likely buy again."
A clear bag makes it easier (and quicker) to get through security and it's so much easier to find what you're looking for throughout the day.

Shoppers Say: "I love love love these clear bags! They are stadium approved and can get you in anywhere!! Who doesn’t love a clear bag!!"
This is such an amazing find. Instead of holding up a mini fan to stay cool, go hands-free with this bladeless, quiet option. Your time at the stadium will be much more comfortable with a neck fan. This one comes in five colorways and it has 15,700+ 5-star Amazon reviews.
Don't let your phone die at the stadium This portable charger is an absolute must to make it through the day.
Compatible Phones: iPhone and Samsung Galaxy

Shoppers Say: "Love this! 2nd one I’ve purchased. Holds charge for a long time. One in my car, one at home. Great value."
Anyone who goes to the US Open every year knows to be prepared for rain and sweltering hot temperatures. Since you cannot bring umbrellas into the stadium and it's way too hot for a rain jacket, bring a clear poncho.

Color Options: 5
This poncho folds up to fit in a small bag and it will come in handy with rainy weather (unfortunately). Look at how compact it is compared to a phone. Plus, you can still see your cute outfit when you wear this since it's clear.
As long as your water bottle is empty, you are allowed to bring one into the stadium. This one is collapsible when it's empty, so you can fit it in a small bag.
Refilling a water bottle is a smart way to save money at the US Open.

Shoppers Say: "Just what I was looking for! It's a perfect collapsible bottle that won't take up too much space in my luggage but I can fill up as soon as I'm through airport security. I plan to use it for other venues that don't allow you to bring in your own drinks."
Do. Not. Forget. Your. Sunglasses. It's going to be so sunny if you're at the US Open during the day.
Customer Ratings: 8,900+ 5-star Amazon reviews

Shoppers Say: "Very pretty. They are very strong, don’t fall off your head easily, aren’t too bulky, and they block the sun from your eyes very well."
Your shoes are so vital at the US Open. I cannot stress how much you'll be walking, especially if you're there during the day.
E! Shopping Editor Tip: These are very comfortable and you don't have to worry about them getting dirty since they are machine-washable.
Color Options: 11
Shoppers Say: "I bought these for a two week vacation to Greece. I logged some miles in them in Athens. They went the distance on my quad on Naxos as well. The best part is I just threw them in the wash when they needed a refresh."
Protect your face from the sun's rays with a sporty visor.
Color Options: 23 women's and 17 men's
Customer Ratings: 4,200+ 5-star Amazon reviews
Shoppers Say: "With its sleek design, lightweight construction, and superior sun protection, this visor offers both style and functionality for active women on the go."

Shoppers Say: "I like that I use them the whole day, take them off and next day they returned to their original shape and ready for another day! I’ve only used one for a couple of weeks now."
These mini hand sanitizers can be easily fastened to the outside of your bag, so they won't take up valuable storage space.
Customer Ratings: 9,600+ 5-star Amazon reviews
Shoppers Say: "Extremely convenient to use everywhere, attached to the lunch box, purse, or backpack. Doesn’t leave residue or uncomfortable feeling on hands."

Customer Ratings: 25,600+ 5-star Amazon reviews
Shoppers Say: "I’m out in the blistering sun of summer as much as I can be and I need lip protection with sunblock in it. This is the only one left in the Chapstick lineup."
You will never regret putting on sunscreen. This small stick is compact and easy to use on the go.
E! Shopping Editor Pick: With this stick, you won't have the security worries that come with having a full-size liquid sunscreen in your bag.
Customer Reviews: 6,000+ 5-star Amazon reviews
Shoppers Say: "I play tennis almost every day and need sun protection all the time when outdoor. This CeraVe Mineral Sunscreen stick is just the right amount of protection from the sun. The stick is very convenient to carry around and apply when needed especially when playing outdoor sports. Its clear consistency is a great feature since I don't look like wearing chalk on my face and it's non-greasy."
You shouldn't separate from your stuff, but it does happen sometimes. That's why it's a smart call to have one of these Bluetooth trackers in your bag.
