A dirndl is not a must, because at the Wiesn everyone can appear as they feel comfortable, as long as they are dressed appropriately. These variants are based on the traditional look and conjure up a perfect Oktoberfest outfit for you - whether for the Munich Oktoberfest or the small meadow festival at home.
Classic lederhosen
In addition to the dirndl, classic traditional lederhosen are particularly popular. Many women who do not wear a dirndl prefer this variant. The lederhosen are available in many different models. In terms of color, it doesn't always have to be the classic brown leather pants, color is desired.
Lederhosen with embellishments and embroidery are particularly popular. Do you like suspenders? This is not a fashion problem either! If you prefer lederhosen, your Oktoberfest outfit will be more classic. On the other hand, if you do without the straps, your look will appear more modern. Combined with a traditional blouse or a checked shirt and a chic traditional hat, the perfect outfit is created.

In addition to lederhosen, the checked shirt is also a popular item of clothing for the Oktoberfest outfit for both men and women. Women without a dirndl don't have to have a bad conscience, because what you feel comfortable in is allowed and a shirt is much more comfortable than a laced bodice. The look with the checked shirt does not have to be conservative, with little effort you can turn the simple piece of clothing into an eye-catcher.
To do this, tie the two ends in a knot above the waistband, leave a few buttons undone, or wear it inside out. If you then wear red lipstick, you give the look a feminine touch.

The traditional costume blouse is as much a part of the Wiesn as the beer. The good thing: It is super suitable for everyday use and not only an eye-catcher at the Oktoberfest.

It is also easy to combine, because in addition to the dirndl you can wear it with jeans and leather skirts.

Feminine skirt
There are numerous ways for a woman to style a nice Oktoberfest outfit even without a dirndl. A traditional costume skirt or a denim or leather skirt, along with lederhosen and leather shorts, are another way to look smart for the Oktoberfest.
The Trachten skirt comes closest to the Dirndl skirt due to its similar cut. It is available in many different versions, whether classic or modern. It looks particularly beautiful with a traditional blouse, but other chic blouses can also be combined well with the skirt.
