About this deal
Braided headband – If you’re like me and have the dexterity of a penguin wearing oven mitts, skip the YouTube braid tutorials and just pick up a braided headband. The dress part of a dirndl is available in a few basic silhouettes (a fashion word I learned from getting married). Out of the many thousands of people you’ll see at Oktoberfest each day, the vast majority of them are dressed accordingly. Although most women show a decent amount of their décolletage, younger girls tend to stay on the wholesome side while staying conservatively covered.

No Oktoberfest outfit is complete with a unique pair of lederhosen socks (or “Kniestrumpf” in German Language). They also come in a variety of colors (really, just various shades of brown/black), a few stylistic differences, and a few different kinds of leather. Aprons for dirndl dresses at Oktoberfest are usually either satin or cotton depending on the desired texture to fit your style. Oktoberfest is great and all (okay, it’s the greatest), but I hope you stick around and spend some more time in Germany. They have cheaper options, but the best deal is their set of socks, shoes, shirt, scarf, and high quality lederhosen for rought 190€.
Because the modern Oktoberfest started as a Bavarian royal wedding celebration in 1810, a fascinator can be a pretty fitting accessory as you are partially celebrating a marriage.

If you have an extra 50-80 euros in your budget you can get a very classy Oktoberfest vest and wear it in place of your lederhosen suspenders which are removalable. Recently it has become more common to get a slim-fitting trachten shirt compared to the older baggy ones but the handy sleeve button is on both styles.
In fact, you don’t even need a belt, as there is a drawstring in the back of a traditional Bavarian lederhosen. Keep in mind that vast majority of the over 6 million annual attendees are either from Bavaria ( 70%) or the rest of Germany ( 15%) so dressing up for Oktoberfest is the norm. You would also wear either a checked or white shirt with them, but for these they sell more “feminine” cut shirts with short sleeves.
