If you are looking for the right Oktoberfest costumes for women, it is crucial to know what to wear for Oktoberfest. Read on as we give you some ideas for dressing for Oktoberfest.

Dirndls

Women can wear whatever they want but if you want to get down with German folk culture then you should consider wearing dirndls. When putting together your dirndl, you should have a white blouse with puffy sleeves, and an apron that is tied with a ribbon. The side should denote the availability of the wearer.

Layer out your outfit

If you are attending the festival you should remember that it can get super chilly during Oktoberfest so you should layer out your outfit. While your skirt, blouse, apron and bodice might be fine during Oktoberfest, it is advised to layer your outfit. You can get a cute cardigan downstairs with a pair of nice stockings. Partner your costumes with a hat if you have a face that adores the kind of adornment.

Throw on some boots on your feet or flat sole shoes. You should get whatever you feel comfortable with. Avoid wearing high heels because you will fall over on the floorboards at the beer hall.

Know the right length for your dirndl

You can go for a long ankle-length traditional cut, the legs revealing mini or the modest midi. The choice is yours and whilst some might advise against the mini, they are just being prudes. You can show off your pins if you wish to do so.

A note on the right dirndl sizing

Because you will be dancing around in your Oktoberfest costumes, if you are doing it right, you do not want to choose a dirndl that is too short. You should pinch the fabric around the waist so you can be 100% sure that you have enough room to move in.
