Oktoberfest is the world's largest beer festival, but it is so much more than that. It is a time for camaraderie, costumes and traditions.
During the many days of the festival, people from all over the world will flock to the Theresienwiese in Munich to drink pints of beer and have a great time in their Oktoberfest clothes !
Of course, this beautiful festival includes the traditional costume in the form of the popular dirndl and the practical lederhosen ! This costume has been worn for generations and there is a certain level of respect for this clothing.
For the ladies among us it is fun to finally put on a beautiful dirndl! A few tips to look good at the Oktoberfest. A proper outfit starts with a blouse with a puff sleeve that covers the shoulders. This includes a skirt that falls to the knees at least, preferably a bit longer. For footwear, it is useful to wear shoes that you can walk around in all day. The area where Oktoberfest is held is large. Heels are fun and feminine, but after a few hours your feet will be ruined. Then opt for ballerinas, also feminine and you can walk around in them all day.
The most important thing to pay attention to is the bow of the dirndl. The position of the bow indicates your relationship status! A bow on the left side indicates that a woman is single, a bow on the right side that a woman is taken. A bow on the back? This woman is a widow.
