Traditional costume tips for children
When children wear traditional clothing, it is often a highlight for the little ones. Especially when the whole family is dressed in Trachten, kids get excited. Finally, they get to wear a stylish Dirndl like mom or a rustic Lederhosen like dad. Nowadays, children in traditional outfits no longer look outdated or like they are in a costume—children’s Trachten are absolutely in trend. This makes festive occasions such as a christening, communion, confirmation, wedding, or simply a visit to a folk festival even more enjoyable!
Adorable Traditional Rompers and Bodysuits for Your Child
Many children are introduced to Oktoberfest or other festivities associated with Trachten outfits through their families. In some families, kids are practically born into Dirndls or Lederhosen, as they are always part of the celebrations and get to experience traditional festivals from an early age.
This also includes the youngest ones, who are practically born with a love for Oktoberfest. These little Trachten enthusiasts should be dressed appropriately from the start. The fashionable foundation can be laid with Oktoberfest rompers or Trachten bodysuits. Not only are these adorable, but they also expand your baby's wardrobe with their first seasonal clothing pieces.
Adorable Traditional Clothing for Toddlers
As early as six months old, girls can wear Dirndls and boys can wear Lederhosen. Girls who are already walking can wear the children's Dirndl with or without an apron. A blouse is not necessarily required for little children. A white shirt – short or long-sleeved, with or without ruffles – is perfectly sufficient. Similarly, a children’s Lederhosen can be paired with various shirts, vests, or jackets. This allows the child to be styled according to the occasion. The result is a colorful, fantastic outfit in which the little one feels completely comfortable. Casual Trachten shirts with cheeky slogans, paired with warm Trachten vests, have also been very popular in recent years.
Tips for the Perfect Traditional Outfit for Kids
There is not much to worry about when selecting traditional outfits for little ones. Here are just a few general, final tips:
- One thing parents should pay attention to is the freedom of movement in the clothing. Despite the style, children should not feel restricted in their Dirndl or Lederhosen. Playing, running, and roughhousing should still be possible.
- For young children, it is best to opt for cotton-based Trachten outfits. Traditional Lederhosen or Dirndls made from stiff materials are often not very comfortable for kids.
- Another advantage of cotton Trachten is that it can be easily washed in the machine if it gets dirty.
- Choose children’s Trachten outfits with zippers. This makes it easy and frustration-free for kids to dress themselves without struggling with buttons.
Most importantly, children should feel comfortable in their new traditional outfit and should not feel like they are in a costume. Discover a large selection of children's Trachten in our online shop and get inspired!
