As you may know, Oktoberfest is a huge two week festival that takes place in Munich every year. This is legendary for the huge amount of beer consumed, along with the incredible variety or traditional, local foods that are served. Alongside this are funfairs, rides and other amusements, and the whole festival is extremely well known throughout Europe for being enormous fun. You are probably familiar with the pictures of guys in Lederhosen and girls in Bardot tops and pigtails, and it is these that form the basis of any good Oktoberfest Costume Melbourne. This is a great one to play around with – certainly, ladies can get as sexy or as conservative as they like with it, and guys don’t necessarily have to go with the traditional lederhosen look if it’s not your thing (and lets be honest, lederhosen are not for everyone!). If you’re not keen on the idea, you could always have fun with an alternative outfit – maybe you could try out a ‘super six pack’ Beer Hero costume? If you want to do something really different, you could even opt for a Zombie Oktoberfest costume!
The amount of costumes for women here is amazing – although they are all generally along the same ‘bar wench’ theme, the range of colours and styles are almost endless. For the more daring amongst us, there are tonnes of gorgeous micro skirts puffed out with layers of tulle, corsets and gypsy style Bardot tops. If you’re less keen on the mini-skirt options though, you could always go for a longer length, more demure style and keep the focus on details such as laced corsetry, checks and gingham aprons. Of course, no Oktoberfest Costume is complete without the essential item – a large tankard of great beer!
