Now I know you might be tempted to tie your pinafore with the bow in the middle, but this is really just saying you are a virgin. While in ages past, this was indeed an important message if you were a young girl, it’s actually just a bit awkward today ;-) An authentic dirndl ( DEERN-dul) dress for Oktoberfest can come in a few different lengths, but they usually go below the knees. The most traditional length option is the long dirndl ( langdirndl) which goes to a little above your ankle, the middle length dirndl ( mididirndl) will go anywhere from your shin to just below your knee, and the short dirndl ( minidirndl) will stop a couple inches above your knee. Depending on the fullness of your dirndl skirt, you may opt for adding a petticoat or underskirt for extra volume and movement. Women can use bows on their dirndls (traditional Bavarian dresses) to indicate their relationship status. However, this unofficial custom is not regulated as mandatory. Thus, the wearers can also put on their bows accordingly for other reasons. Generally, the following bow positions are interpreted in this way (the position applies from the point of view of the person wearing the dirndl).

Insider tip: The more used a lederhosen looks, the more precious, as the coveted patina takes years and years of hard usage to show. Train Station Stands: Outside of the Munich train station are a number of temporary stands selling complete outfits. The quality isn’t great but they have a wide enough selection and are helpful in a pinch. You can get a shirt and lederhosen together for 60-120€, and with shoes for 150-180€. Dirndls with a blouse at the stands will range from 40-120€. The stuff here isn’t super high quality, but it looks decent and should be good enough to get you through a few days of partying. That being said, we have also have souvenier stand lederhosen that have lasted less than two hours of Oktoberfest before they ripped while sitting so you get what you pay for.

No other traditional clothing is more readily associated with Bavaria (and Germany as a whole) than the Lederhosen. A traditional Lederhosen will be handmade using deer skin or even chamois leather. The embroidery is usually done with quills or green to yellow yarn. These authentic Bavarian Lederhosen are usually prohibitively expensive (starting at about 1,000 US-Dollar) and made to last a lifetime. Technically speaking you could. I’m all for emancipation, and equal rights. But if you aim for those super short lederhosen in pink, I’m not sure whether that choice is all about girl power or one step closer to prostitution. So as a local, I’ll give you the well-meant advice: stay away from them ;-) How to tie the pinafore: left, right or middle & what does it mean for the boys?There is no easy answer, as Lederhosen are worn throughout Bavaria, in Austria, and in Switzerland as well. Each region has different models, designs, and lengths.
