Traditional German Hats

We’ve given you several recommendations on different lederhosen and dirndls you should be wearing to your Oktoberfest celebrations. However, if you’re serious about making your Oktoberfest outfit look good, one thing is mandatory: the hat. The hat is a necessity if you want to look like a true Bavarian!

Many people view hats as an optional accessory, but think of it this way: While you technically could dress up like Abe Lincoln without using a top hat, you can do much better with just one extra accessory. The same could be said for your German Tracht! The hat is part of the Bavarian flavor and you need to do the Germans justice when you put on their attire.

 

Men’s Tyrolean Hat

The traditional Bavarian headwear for is the Tyrolean hat (also known as the Alpine hat or Bavarian hat). This hat originated in the Alps region of Tyrol (part of current-day Austria and Italy) in the early 19th century. These hats popularized in Bavarian areas and adopted themselves into the men’s Tracht. Oktoberfesthaus has a variety of different Alpine hat styles and colors so you can match the rest of your out fit perfectly. Below are a few of our favorites:
