Traditional or modern Octoberfest attire
Traditionally, it was a question of honour to wear classical Octoberfest attire. However, many teens of today can not be convinced to wear what their grandfathers wore. They like their rural traditions but prefer their own styles. That is why some teens wear chequered shirts for men to their baggy jeans rather than wearing the Lederhosen or brogues with embroidery. They would not miss going to the most famous national beer festival, of course. There's no compromising about that! The designers had to invent more modern looks for the traditional costumes of Bavarians. As a result you can rely on several collections of Bavarian Tracht fashion. All parts of it are very comfortable and made of the best materials. Many of them are timeless classics, some of them fashion hits. Very convincing is the fact that you can combine chequered blouses with frocks or trousers alike. Quality is a big issue also.
