Traditional German Clothing


 

 

 

 
The dirndl was the uniform of the Austrian servants. Traditionally, every village even had its own particular style of this dress, in accordance with the concept of tracht. The dirndl comprises many garments that make up the entire outfit. It was made up of a fitted bodice which was worn with a blouse, a full skirt, petticoat, and an apron. The blouse was generally made of either cotton or lace. Some women chose to wear the outfit without a blouse. The apron was more often than not of a contrasting color. For festive occasions, the dirndl was often accentuated with embroidery, elaborate hats, and accessories like lace, ribbons, trims, etc., that were plaited.

   The word lederhosen translates to leather pants in German. These are knee breeches, and were worn by the Germanic men of the Alpine areas and the surrounding locales. The pants were made of leather. This traditional style was also worn by young boys. Lederhosens worn in the Bavarian region had features such as suspenders and front flaps, and these were quickly adopted by other countries. These pants were worn with shirts and sweaters made of coarse linen or wool. Other clothes teamed with the pants were wool stockings and country shoes. Jackets and hats were worn by some men.
