Buying a Dirndl – The Perfect Traditional Outfit for Women

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).

Dirndls and Matching Accessories

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.

Tips for Buying a Dirndl

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.
