The 2017 Oktoberfest fashion trends

Want to make sure that your outfit doesn’t scream “TOURIST!” at everyone at this year’s Munich Oktoberfest? Then read up on the trends for this year and dress accordingly, because beyond the classic dirndl ensemble for the ladies and lederhosen+shirt+stockings for the boys, there is a whole world of Bavarian fashion out there – and knowing what’s currently in will not only get you an even warmer welcome in the beer gardens, but help you to tell real Munich insiders from the German tourists, too!

Well, it depends a little on the tent. In the classic Munich tents such as Augustiner-Festhalle and Armbrustschützen-Festzelt, you’ll find that people are going more traditional than ever before. It’s no longer just about vintage lederhosen or longer, grandma-style dirndls: even the younger lads are getting into loden blazers, silken waitcoats, and jewellery accessories such as charivaris. For the ladies, it’s about complementing that pastel-coloured, lace-detailed dirndl with a matching knitted cardigan and sensible half-heels.

You might think this is traditional, but it’s actually quite different to the typical lederhosen and dirndl combinations. For the ladies, for example, it means pleated skirts and high-neck blouses (dirndls, of course, have a low neckline and a simple skirt), made Bavarian with floral details and such like. The look is less well-defined for men, of course, but means axing big beards and going very clean-cut. Watch out for sharper, dressier, and less distinctively Bavarian shirts, paired with college jackets given a slight Alpine twist with sewn-on coats of arms or deer-antler embroidery.

It’s about easy, uncomplicated clothing that retains a Bavarian note without being fuddy-duddy: both for lads and ladies, the basis are lederhosen, short and worn without the classic braces, combined with printed t-shirts and tops and trainers or boots (as opposed to the somewhat inflexible leather brogues traditionally paired with lederhosen). Some are even replacing the leather breeches themselves with denim shorts sporting classic lederhosen features such as the front flap and buckhorn buttons. You’ll see this look among the young, sporty crowd hoping to catch a glimpse of the Bayern Munich team in the Paulaner-Zelt or in the Löwenbräu beer garden.

We hope this will help you in your quest to not stick out like a sore, out-of-town thumb! Enjoy the Oktoberfest like a local: Prost!
