Lederhosen

This will moreover save you a lot of time and also give you a moment of satisfaction. Plus, lederhosen are laced up from the back, so you may have to get help later as well, so it is better to involve an expert in advance.

While you are ‘trying the costume out,’ remember, the pants are made from leather and it will stretch with wear and tear. Even if you are feeling tight in them, yet will have much room to freely stretch, sit and hop around.

Time to choose between shorts and knickers

What are you comfortable to wear, a short or a knicker? Although, you will see both during the festival, what suits you better also depends upon what comforts you more. In the market, both the knickers and shorts are available with the set of suspenders, which are actually a key part of these traditional Oktoberfest costumes Perth, but then it’s again a matter of your comfortability.

Get a perfect color of shirt and be done with the purchase

Speaking of the traditional Bavarian shirts, they are mostly in blue shade and checked, however, you can prefer a shirt that represents your country. For instance, in Australia, men mostly wear blue and red checked shirts to bring the essence of the festival on.

Finally, bring your Alpine Hat along.
