Fashion Blog » Oktoberfest 2008: The Fashion Edition

Christmas in Paris has become such a cliché…and when it gets to that time of year, you’ll be hearing from me about exactly what to pack. But why wait for some international festivities when Munich has you covered until October (or should I say, Oktober) 5th. Leiderhosen, for all it’s unmarketable crotch-cruelty qualities, is the answer to another dressy fall occasion (ahem, Halloween), not your first trip to Deutschland.

With the opening ceremonies this past weekend, there are an abundant of fashionable beers and inebriated fashionistas to discuss, and mimic. Maybe book a trip for next year?

I love the loose cotton undershirt with tighter vest look, it’s very hippie and organic. Corsets are a little much for the every day, but they certainly add an authentic German milkmaid quality.

I am absolutely fascinated by this hat. Try as I might to look up “elfin hat” on Amazon.com, I decide my best bet to mimic this look is to take a trip to the fabric store and sew this pretty little thing on my own. This was the closest I could find without jingle bells.

(Kinda) Find that Look: Robin Hood Fancy Dress Hat: £7.99

Knitted leggings are colorful, fun, and warm. Though your legs may need a bit more protection than these provide amongst many a-drunkin’ fellow, the patterns are fun to copy.
