Dirndls come in many colors and styles. A green dirndl or dark green dirndl looks classic and elegant. Black dirndls and dark blue dirndls are equally popular.
A velvet dirndl looks particularly exquisite. Velvet is soft and shiny – perfect for special occasions. Affordable dirndls in beautiful colors like beige dirndls, blue dirndls, light blue dirndls, and wine-red dirndls are also very popular.
Dirndls are available in many lengths: long dirndls (for a classic look), midi dirndls (medium), and short dirndls (young and modern).
A dirndl is only complete with the right accessories:
Dirndl Blouse – worn under the dress and can be short or a long-sleeved dirndl blouse.
Dirndl Apron – worn over the skirt and completes the outfit.
Shoes for Dirndl – classic traditional shoes or pumps are best. Sneakers or trainers do not fit.
Dirndl Bag – practical for belongings and pretty with the outfit.
The position of the dirndl bow can even have a meaning: left means single, right means taken, and at the back means married. Many traditional costume experts pay attention to this when choosing an Oktoberfest outfit.
When buying, it's important that the dirndl fits well and is comfortable. A good fit feels better and looks nicer. Experts recommend comparing the size with a dirndl size chart.
