Myntra Big Fashion Festival 2026: What Fashion Brands Should Do Now

Myntra’s Big Fashion Festival is the biggest week of the year for fashion online. Myntra hasn’t announced this year’s dates yet, but most reports expect it to start around 8 October 2026, with early access for Myntra Insider members a day before. Myntra usually confirms the dates in its app about a week ahead.

In fashion, the photo does more of the selling than anywhere else, because nobody can try anything on. So most of this list is about one thing: showing the clothes honestly.

The photos: sell the fit

  • Show the fit from every side. Front, back and side, on a model, so shoppers can see how it sits and how it falls.
  • Get close to the fabric. One close-up of the texture answers questions a paragraph can’t.
  • Shoot every colour, not just the hero colour. Shoppers want to see the one they’ll actually buy.
  • Follow Myntra’s catalogue guidelines for models, angles and backgrounds. They’re strict, and images that don’t follow them can hold a listing up at the worst possible time.

Model and catalogue shoots are most of what our photography team does for fashion brands.

The listing: help the filters find you

Myntra shoppers filter by size, fit, fabric, colour and occasion before they scroll. A listing with empty attributes doesn’t show up in those filters at all.

  • Fill in every attribute your category asks for.
  • Make the size chart accurate, in centimetres and inches. A good size chart is the cheapest way to cut returns.
  • Say what the model is wearing. “The model is 5′9″ and wears a size M” helps every shopper pick the right size.
  • Describe the fit in plain words: relaxed, slim, cropped, true to size.

This is what our cataloguing team writes for fashion listings.

Stock: every size, not just some

Sale shoppers buy in their size or not at all. A style with only XS and XXL left looks sold out to most people.

  • Check stock size by size, for every colour.
  • Put your best styles forward, the ones with good ratings and full size runs, because those are the ones worth advertising.

Ads and creative: start before the rush

  • Start Myntra ads a few days early, so campaigns are learning before the sale begins, and raise budgets for the sale days.
  • Back styles with full size runs. Paying to send shoppers to a style that’s out of their size wastes the click.
  • Get your sale creative ready in every size Myntra’s placements need. Our ad creatives team makes these for fashion sales.

After the sale: read the returns

In fashion, returns tell you the truth.

  • “Too small” or “too big” means fix the size chart.
  • “Looked different” means fix the photos.
  • “Not as described” means fix the words.

Festive shopping carries on until Diwali, on 8 November, so there’s still time to put those fixes to work.

Ten days is enough

Ten days is enough to fix what fashion shoppers notice first: the photos, the size chart and the stock. If you’d rather hand it over, tell us what you sell, and we’ll tell you what to fix first.
