Ladies Lederhosen

Women's Lederhosen – wearing what you want

Lederhosen have traditionally been men's territory in Bavarian folk costume. That is historically accurate but has long since stopped being a restriction. Women wear Lederhosen at the Oktoberfest, at the Kirchweih and in everyday life with Bavarian style – confidently and with every right to do so.

Women's Lederhosen are not a novelty and not a fashion trend that will soon disappear. They are part of the modern folk costume scene. The range at Dirndl.com offers 21 models for different occasions and styles.

Short women's Lederhosen vs. knee-length

The most important decision when buying is the length:

• Short women's Lederhosen: End at the upper thigh. Modern, light, good for warm folk festival days. Very attractive combined with a Trachten blouse or a Dirndl top.
• Knee-length Lederhosen for women: End just below the knee. More traditional in appearance, more structured in look. Better suited to more formal traditional occasions than the short version.

Genuine leather or faux leather?

There is no right or wrong on the material question, but there are clear differences:

• Genuine leather: More durable, moulds to the body over time, gets better with age. Requires more care. More expensive upfront, cheaper in the long run.
• Faux leather: Less expensive, easier to care for, available in more colours. Less authentic in feel. A good choice for occasional use.

What do you wear with women's Lederhosen?

A Trachten blouse or Dirndl top goes very well with women's Lederhosen. Add Trachten stockings or Loferl and matching shoes – Haferl shoes or Trachten trainers. A belt with a traditional buckle completes the look. For complete outfit ideas: Finish the Look Women.
