Running of the Bulls Costumes & Accessories

Every year, from 6 to 14 July, Pamplona fills with music, street parties and the unmistakable white-and-red colours of San Fermín. Best known around the world for the Running of the Bulls, this Spanish festival has a traditional outfit that is simple, symbolic and instantly recognisable.

If you are looking for Running of the Bulls costumes and accessories, at Costumalia you will find the essentials for creating an authentic Pamplona-inspired outfit, whether you are travelling to San Fermín or celebrating the fiesta somewhere else.

What do you wear for the Running of the Bulls?

The traditional San Fermín outfit is based on white clothing with red accessories. A white shirt or T-shirt and white trousers form the base, while the red neckerchief and sash bring the classic festival touch.

It is an easy outfit to put together, but it carries a lot of meaning. The red details are part of the identity of San Fermín, and they help everyone feel connected to the same celebration. Simple, festive and impossible to miss in a crowd.

The red San Fermín neckerchief

The red neckerchief is the most important San Fermín accessory. Traditionally, it is tied around the neck just after the chupinazo, the rocket launched at midday on 6 July to mark the official start of the festival.

Before that moment, many people wear it around the wrist or keep it ready until the celebration begins. Once it is tied around the neck, the fiesta is well and truly underway.

The red San Fermín sash

The red sash is tied around the waist and completes the traditional Running of the Bulls costume. It adds colour to the white outfit and gives the whole style that classic Pamplona feel.

It also has a practical side, helping keep clothing in place during energetic moments, dancing or long hours out in the street. You can wear the San Fermín sash with a white T-shirt for a relaxed outfit or with a white shirt for a more traditional finish.

Other Running of the Bulls accessories

As well as the neckerchief and sash, you can add other Running of the Bulls accessories to make your outfit more comfortable and fun.

White or red hats are great for sunny days and keep the colour theme going. Glasses add a playful touch for group celebrations, while fans are very useful when the July heat starts doing its thing.

Whether you are heading to Pamplona or joining a San Fermín-themed party elsewhere, these accessories help you bring the spirit of the fiesta with you. White clothes, red details, plenty of energy… and you are ready for the celebration.
