Less formal than ornate dirndls, yet just as feminine: Our trachten skirts, designed with great attention to detail, will capture your heart. Whether paired with a shirt featuring Alpine motifs or a classic or folkloric-inspired blouse – with a trachten skirt, you'll be perfectly dressed for many occasions. We'll tell you how to wear this fashionable all-rounder in everyday life or showcase it for special occasions in our guide.
Modern ways to combine trachten skirts
Are you looking for a change from dirndls or leather hot pants? How about a pretty trachten skirt? Whether in a figure-flattering A-line with or without pleats, or as a slim pencil skirt made of genuine leather: Trachten skirts are comfortably suitable for everyday wear. The combination of a skirt and a high-neck blouse looks both modern and timeless. Precious lace or striking ruffled edges draw all eyes.
You can also combine trachten skirts in a modern way with an elegant blouse shirt with a print motif or a trachten bodysuit with a small stand-up collar. Paired with a chic trachten blouse, this creates an outfit that occasionally hints at traditional attire while exuding refreshing charm. After all, even the trachten blouses of the latest generation are rarely identifiable as such at first glance. Lace yokes, puff sleeves, and floral patterns are ubiquitous on the world's runways.
Traditional ways to combine trachten skirts
Does your heart beat for time-honored classics? Of course, you can also combine a traditional Vichy check blouse with your trachten skirt. The look becomes exciting with the off-the-shoulder cut of the blouse or a playful pattern mix. A teardrop neckline that reveals a hint of skin or semi-transparent lace inserts also make classic trachten blouses eye-catchers.
You can also combine your trachten skirt with elaborately decorated trachten jackets. While woolen fabrics like loden or tweed have a rustic feel, velvet or brocade emphasize the elegant character of your outfit. Together with a laced bodice and a dirndl blouse, your trachten skirt becomes the perfect alternative to a dress. A trachten belt adorned with fine embroidery also fits perfectly here.
Nostalgia meets retro flair
Do you like it extravagant? Let yourself be inspired by the charming looks of decades past! It's no coincidence that the wide-flared cut of some trachten skirts resembles the circle skirts of the 1950s and 1960s. Wear a petticoat with it, similar to the one you would otherwise combine with your best dirndl for the Oktoberfest. With their slightly voluminous shape, petticoats give your A-line trachten skirt a swinging upgrade.
The body-hugging pencil skirts also have their origins in the fashion of the early fifties. While Dior made them fashionable in 1954, today pencil skirts even come in trachten-appropriate styles. Natural materials give the elegant classic an extravagant touch. Feminine trachten blouses or trachten bodysuits with seductive lace complement them perfectly.
How to properly combine trachten skirts: Which shoes go with them?
Depending on whether your chosen dress code is more elegant or suitable for everyday wear, retro or rustic, you can choose from various shoe models for your trachten skirt. Delicate strappy sandals and high heels go just as well with a pencil skirt as ankle boots with stiletto heels or laced high-front pumps. Do you prefer to be on flat soles?
If you opt for a wide-flared trachten skirt, you can also step up your shoe game. In addition to platform ankle boots, wedges with cork or espadrille soles also look harmonious. Textile lace-ups in a trachten look provide sporty chic. Bow appliqués and typical trachten patterns, ruffled trim and embroidery make them a trendy must-have.
Combine trachten skirt and blouse or wear a classic dirndl?
No question: Dirndls in designs rich in detail are a clear commitment to living tradition. But alongside the popular dresses, more and more alternatives are mixing into the typical looks for Oktoberfest. What advantages do modern ensembles of trachten skirt and matching top offer? These are our tips for the trend:
- If your proportions are uneven, you might prefer to choose separately available tops and bottoms anyway? This way, you can select the differing clothing sizes precisely. With a trachten skirt and blouse, you are more flexible than with a dress.
- You can style trachten skirts festively or for everyday wear, depending on the occasion. So your new favorite piece doesn't have to stay in the closet when a shopping trip with your best friend beckons.
- Combined with cozy cardigans or sweaters, tights, and boots, you can wear trachten skirts all year round. They accompany you through autumn and winter when it's simply too cold for delicate dirndl fabrics.
