Dirndl usually consists of a blouse, full skirt and apron. Winter style involves thicker skirts and apron made of wool and full sleeves. Frequency of wearing a Dirndl varies depending on the age and region. It is used as an everyday dress by older women in rural areas while other women may wear it on special occasions.
Tracht also plays a good role in Octoberfest. In former times, bride used to get it as a part of dowry. Lederhosen are leather shorts that goes to the knees. They are usually worn with high socks which sometimes may come up to the knees.
