Festival Styling 2026: Start Summer Inspired
If you’ve been scouring every corner of Pinterest to piece together your festival wardrobe for 2026, then you’re in good company. You know that half the fun of going to these events is to dress up in a way you might not typically dress anywhere else. Whilst it’s great to be experimental with outfits, the real passion for us lies in the finishing touches: tying everything together with accessories.
Festival fashion for women can be a little bit overwhelming, especially with looks emerging from Coachella, quickly proving themselves to be the top festival fashion trends in the UK. You might be wondering, what are the essential items for a festival goer? You can keep it minimal with your lip gloss, Glasses Case, Card Holder and iPhone in your bag, and you can head off to dance all day without a care in the world. If you like to have a first aid kit or a bottle of water, opt for a more spacious style like the Sutton Sling or Original Plus. We think we can find the perfect balance to suit you and make festival fashion a breeze this year. Read along to find your match.
Off-Duty Model Mode: Less is More
Planning on keeping it simple? We have your back. For the less is more ladies, we have options! The City Mini Bag; for clean lines and the perfect size for all mini essentials. The Original Bag; for a little extra room, you can keep your easy-access items in the front pocket, but it’s still neatly compact. The City Slim; an elegant shape, but one that can still fit your travel size sun cream, some electrolytes to stay hydrated and a foldable hairbrush. It’s the best of both worlds!
Maximalist Mania
Get into the festival mood and embrace the chaos by leaning into maximalist fashion this season. No matter your preferred bold style, you can choose your bag to match it. Mix it up with colourful straps, bright colour pops, or go all in with animal print. Our special edition Leopard Print Collection features our core styles and Plus’, as well as the Sutton Sling. Match it with one of our Leopard-inspired straps and add extra Keyrings for the full more-is-more effect.
Big Arenas
Headed to a restricted venue? Our Transparent City Bags are absolutely made for this occasion. Available in Black or Stone with leather trim, our signature gold hardware and complete with a matching leather strap, this clear design will have you feeling stylish as ever, whilst meeting the entry requirements! Both are also included in BankBundle, so you can choose any two straps you like for free.
Jump On Trend
Based on the multitude of beautiful outfits that have been seen at Coachella kickstarting the festival season, there’s plenty of trends to choose from this year. One clear one being Tropical Revival with a playful splash of Y2K sprinkled in there, featuring all the vibrant tropical shades you can imagine. Opt for a Bum Bag in Mango Tango or Frog Green, a City Mini Bag in Burnt Orange, Straw or Spearmint and you’re ready to rock.
Another notable winner was pirate-esque motifs; with lace layering, leather accessories and bohemian everything. Make it your own by adding personal details, we’d recommend adding as many Tassel Keyrings as your heart desires and a Gold Chain to your bag - just for the aesthetic of it! You’re guaranteed to steal the show. The Edgware in Chestnut or Maple would really tie in that boho theme.
We’re wishing you a summer loaded up with plenty of fun, good music and great company. Here at Pom Pom London we’re huge enthusiasts of bags that can outlast a season - when it comes to both trends and quality. Sustainable festival fashion is something you won’t regret sticking to, because it means you will end up with quality pieces that you can wear again and again.
Personalising your bag with your own choice of Keyrings and Straps means you’ll never get bored of your look because you can restyle it for different outfits. Versatility for the win! Start the festival season fun and shop our collection today to find your next bag.
