Traditional Socks on Sale – the Underestimated Part of the Trachten Look

When saving on a Trachten outfit, socks are the last place to cut corners. Why? Because traditional socks are the final detail of the look – thought through from top to bottom, from bodice to sock. And because discounted traditional socks in a sale still offer the same quality as at full price.

23 styles with up to 70 percent off: knee socks for women, Loferl for men (the short calf warmers without a foot section), classic white stockings, patterned versions with Trachten decoration.

Which Traditional Socks for Which Occasion?

• White knee socks: The classic choice for women with a Dirndl. Suit long and midi Dirndl lengths. Very traditional, especially recommended for church festivals and Trachten processions.
• Patterned knee socks: With knit pattern, cable pattern or Trachten decoration. A bit more expressive than plain white. Good for folk festivals where you want to stand out.
• Loferl for men: The short calf warmers without a foot section. Worn with Kniebundhose Lederhose, they complete the look. The full range is available in the men's hosiery section.
• Women's knee socks: White and patterned versions for the complete Dirndl outfit. All styles in the women's hosiery overview.

Styling Traditional Socks – a Few Basic Rules

Socks and shoes need to coordinate. White knee socks go with white Haferlschuhe and light traditional shoes. Dark green or grey socks work with brown and earth tones. Men's Loferl traditionally come in plain grey or natural tones.

The length is right when the top band of the knee socks just stays below the hem of the Dirndl skirt – not higher, not much lower. With Lederhose, Loferl sit correctly just below the knee band. More discounted Trachten accessories in the Sale up to 70%.

Frequently Asked Questions About Traditional Socks on Sale

Do you have to wear knee socks with a Dirndl?

No. Socks with a Dirndl are not mandatory. At Oktoberfest today, many people wear without socks. For more traditional occasions – church festivals, Trachten processions – knee socks are recommended. When in doubt, white knee socks work in virtually every context.

What are Loferl?

Loferl are short calf warmers without a foot section. They are worn with Kniebundhose Lederhose and give the men's Trachten look its traditional finish. Underneath, you wear plain short socks in a subtle color that matches the Loferl.

What size for traditional socks?

Traditional socks are usually listed in shoe size ranges – for example 35–38 or 39–42. If you are between two sizes, go smaller – socks stretch with wear. Knee socks should be snug enough not to slip down, but not so tight they dig in.
