What do you associate with a typical German outfit? Certainly a Bavarian traditional costume, the Bavarian Tracht. And should you ever be tempted to want or need to wear a traditional costume, we’ll quickly explain the most important things here. Get ready.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which traditional costume outfit for which occasion? Are sneakers allowed with leather pants? And which Dirndl length is just right? Deerskinshorts for guys and dirndl for the girls are not only cult in Bavaria. If you want to be really \u201eo’zogn\u201c (dressed), you have to pay attention to a few things in your wardrobe. Their tips and rules of etiquette<\/a> for the traditional outfit are revealed to us by the traditional costume wearers from Berchtesgaden in Upper Bavaria. Because they must know it: In probably no other region of Germany do young and old wear so much Dirndlgwand and Lederhosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skirt and bodice: The \u201eFrauengwand\u201c (women\u2019s dress)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The classic Dirndl <\/strong>consists of a skirt laid in pleats and a usually sewn-on top, the so-called bodice. While the Dirndl top is as close to the body as possible, the skirt is flared. But how long should and may the famous Bavarian women’s garment be? Brides often wear floor-length dirndls: “Too long for all other occasions,” thinks Johanna Hogger, a traditional costume tailor and member of the Ramsau Trachtenerhaltungsverein GTEV D’Achentaler and adds: “From just below the knee to above the ankle, everything is fine.” According to the traditional costume expert, the Dirndl includes an apron, which usually ends a few finger widths above the hem of the skirt, and a classic blouse with an elastic band under the bust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In cooler temperatures, ladies like to wear cardigans with the dirndl, with a simple ribbed pattern and fitting snugly around the shoulders and body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
