New combinations of traditional costume pieces: the most beautiful ideas for everyday life and festive events
What was once reserved mainly for traditional festivals and special occasions has now evolved into a popular fashion trend that extends beyond the festival season. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to seamlessly incorporate your favorite Trachten pieces—such as traditional skirts, jackets, blouses, and shirts—into your daily wardrobe, making them suitable for the office, casual outings, and even festive events.
Trachten in Everyday Life: Versatility Meets Style
Traditional fashion is not just for special occasions and certainly doesn’t deserve to hibernate in the closet during the colder months. With the right styling, Trachten pieces can be worn year-round for a variety of occasions:
The Versatile Traditional Skirt
A flared Trachten skirt made from high-quality fabric can be styled in a classic and elegant way by pairing it with a solid-colored blouse or a fitted bodice, perhaps featuring trendy peplum details. For a more relaxed and modern look, combine it with sneakers, a contemporary T-shirt, or a cozy sweater. This effortlessly chic outfit is perfect for the office, a shopping trip, or a casual meet-up with friends.
Traditional Jackets: A Tribute to Heritage
Whether knitted, felted, or woven, a Trachten jacket is an essential part of any traditional wardrobe. It softens the sharpness of minimalist office looks and adds a touch of sophistication to casual outfits. A traditional jacket pairs just as well with jeans and trendy lederhosen as it does with sheath dresses and pencil skirts. Feel free to style a Trachten jacket with suit trousers and a turtleneck for a chic office look or create a feminine ensemble with an elegant dress.
Traditional Blouses: Layered Versatility
Trachten blouses and shirts are true all-rounders, easily styled for both elegant and casual occasions. A romantic Trachten blouse can be paired with classic dress pants or a slim-fitting skirt and pumps for a professional office outfit. For a more relaxed look, it pairs perfectly with jeans or casual chinos. To give the outfit a modern twist, accentuate it with a bold belt.
Men’s Traditional Outfits for Chilly Days
For men, traditional clothing offers a perfect way to blend heritage with contemporary style. Trachten shirts and jackets look great with jeans or chinos, adding an elegant touch that reflects an appreciation for quality, tradition, and timeless style. A Trachten jacket is a stylish companion when worn over a classic turtleneck or a simple shirt. Accessories like a belt or a traditional hat add distinctive accents. For true Trachten enthusiasts who don’t want to part with their lederhosen even on cooler days, woolen knee-high socks, a vest made of loden or velvet, and a traditional jacket help keep their favorite leather pants wearable well into late autumn.
