You might be covered in muck, but that is no excuse not to look your best.

Festival fashion is something that a lot of men might not consider, but you should keep in mind that each and every music festival you attend over the summer will be packed with thousands of absolute strangers, and if you want to get the attention of a special someone, then you need to be looking your very best.

We’ve already helped sort you out with this summer’s must-own men’s style item, as well as the best stuff to wear at night to keep looking cool even though the nights are super warm lately, but this time we’re focusing more on a specific accessory.

You’ll remember that last week we found out that a variation of the men’s bum bag is absolutely coming back into fashion.

This week, that has been confirmed, as the men’s style experts in Arnotts also recommended this Calvin Klein Logo Top Zig Bum Bag.

The style experts say that the bag will “Invigorate your daily accessories, showcasing a high-shine textured finish, it presents a logo detail to the front. Made complete with a top zip fastening and black-toned hardware, it’s a convenient option for daily use.”

It is pretty much a perfect bag for walking around the packed festival fields, but what about a bigger bag to carry all of your other stuff in?

Well, the style experts weighed in on that too, recommending the Fred Perry Barrel Bag as the best choice for weekend trips, as well as a great and stylish gym bag, too.

The folks at Arnotts say that it is “used by sportsmen and women for decades, Fred Perry’s classic barrel bag remains unchanged. Functional, durable and instantly recognisable, this bag features durable webbing, a zipped compartment and all its original details.”

So there you go, gents. Your festival bag game is now on point. Go forth, be fashionable, and have a great time!
