Start of the Wiesn season 2024: Perfect style for the Oktoberfest

On Saturday (September 21) it’s that time again: This year’s Oktoberfest in Munich begins. In addition to a fresh pint of beer and hearty delicacies, a visit to the beer tent is all about the perfect Wiesn outfit – and for most women that means wearing a dirndl! But what will be in 2024? Which colors, cuts and materials are trendy? This is what you need to know for the perfect Wiesn look in 2024.

Natural colours: subtle and elegant

The dirndl color trends for 2024 are subtle and elegant. Bright colors like pink or orange are a thing of the past – instead, soft tones and natural colors dominate. The focus is particularly on warm, understated nuances such as olive green, sand, beige and cream. Pastel colors such as delicate rose or sage green are also absolute highlights on Munich’s Theresienwiese this year. If you like it a little darker, go for fir green or burgundy – a good investment, because these are timeless classics that never go out of fashion. These colors look classy and underline the traditional look that is in great demand in 2024.

The perfect dirndl fabric

For years, the trend has clearly been towards natural materials. Linen, cotton and silk play a major role and ensure a comfortable feel, especially when the temperature rises while partying in the beer tent.

Linen dirndls are particularly breathable and give the look a traditional, authentic touch – perfect for a visit to the Oidn Wiesn, the traditional historical part of the Oktoberfest. But velvet will also remain on trend in 2024. Whether as a complete dirndl or just as an accent on the apron or bodice – velvet gives every dirndl an elegant look.

Tradition meets modernity in the cut

There are also exciting developments in the cuts. Anyone who goes to Oktoberfest in 2024 will see many high-necked dirndls. Models with stand-up collars or blouses with small ruffles are particularly popular, giving the look a playful touch. Another trend: dirndls with a sweetheart neckline – feminine and timeless.

The classic dirndl remains in focus, but modern versions with simpler lines and longer skirts are gaining ground. Midi lengths that reach just above the knee or calf are particularly popular in 2024.

For those who prefer shorter: Mini dirndls are still popular, but the focus is clearly on the midi version. This length is not only traditional, but also more practical – you can dance comfortably in the festival tent without having to constantly tug at your skirt.

The dirndl blouse: more than just an accessory

Another highlight of 2024: the dirndl blouse. High-necked blouses are totally on trend here. Lace blouses are particularly popular – delicate, floral patterns give the entire outfit a romantic touch. But simple, plain blouses made of cotton or linen are also absolutely trendy. They offer a great alternative for anyone who prefers something minimalist.

It is important that the blouse always matches the dirndl well. A lace blouse looks particularly beautiful with a simple dirndl, while a cotton blouse harmonizes perfectly with a more opulent dirndl. In 2024, the sleeves are likely to be a little longer. Models with puff sleeves or three-quarter length sleeves are particularly popular.

The apron: the icing on the cake

A complete Oktoberfest outfit cannot be complete without a dirndl apron – it is the heart of the entire traditional costume look. Velvet and silk are the materials of the moment, especially for those who want to make their look a little more elegant. But transparent aprons, often decorated with fine embroidery, are also absolute eye-catchers. These give the dirndl a modern, almost extravagant touch.

The apron does not necessarily have to match the dirndl. Contrasts are allowed – a shimmering apron in silver or gold can give the Oktoberfest outfit the finishing touch.

Here’s an important tip for all Oktoberfest newbies: Be sure to pay attention to how you tie the bow. Tied on the left means you’re single and open to new acquaintances. Tied on the right means you’re taken.

Is there a perfect dirndl for the Oktoberfest 2024?

Whether it’s a traditional dirndl with a high collar and long apron or modern details like lace blouses and velvet aprons: the most important thing about the Oktoberfest look is that you feel comfortable in the costume. Second-hand dirndls are also experiencing a boom – they are not only sustainable, but often truly unique.
