Children’s traditional costumes
In traditional costume, the little ones make their grand entrance.
During the day, particularly at the popular afternoon festivities, the Oktoberfest stage belongs to the little ones. And when Mom is wearing a trendy dirndl and Dad is sporting a pair of lederhosen as they saunter across the Oktoberfest grounds, it is only fitting that their offspring is similarly dressed. Children’s traditional costumes are extremely eye-catching and most children happily wear them.
Traditional children’s costumes for daily wear
As casual wear, and until a proper pair of lederhosen or a dirndl fits, little darlings can choose from comfortable cotton traditional-style clothing. A comfy brown trousers for crawling teamed with a checked shirt indicate a love of all things traditional just as well as any other, and can withstand big and small ‘diaper accidents’ much better than traditional leather versions. Little girls that are already able to walk can also wear the apron with their favorite dress and don’t necessarily have to team it with a blouse and dirndl. Anyway, the blouses are the one item of traditional clothing that young children don’t particularly enjoy wearing. A good alternative in place of blouses are white shirts, whether with long sleeves or short, with frills or without. T-shirts with traditional diamond patterns, Bavarian logotypes (e.g. ‘Für Lausbuam’) or regional motifs such as Bavarian gentians, pretzels or gingerbread hearts can be found in every size and are ideal as casual wear. A no-go for adults, however. Think ‘Wiesn-Fasching’. It’s fine for children, though.
Traditional clothing for children: let them decide
While babies and toddlers can generally be dressed in almost any clothes without objection, the same can’t be said for older children. A child’s personal taste should be taken into consideration, otherwise traditional clothing won’t be fun for them. For some children, wearing traditional clothing evokes the feeling of wearing a costume and it makes them uncomfortable. If junior is performing with the ‘Schuhplattler’ association or little miss is helping to put up the maypole, it’s important not to adhere too strictly to Bavarian dress code. Suffice it to say that children in traditional attire are a sight to behold, but nobody should be forced to wear traditional costumes at Oktoberfest if they have not (yet) succumbed to their charm.
