What is the regional dress of women in southern Germany or Austria?

The national characteristics of Germans are not obvious in clothing. Only in a few areas, the residents there still retain some unique local clothing styles. For example, in Bavaria, men there wear a small felt hat with feathers, leather pants, suspenders, stockings and suede shoes, and their coats are mostly black and green without lapels.

Women in Bavaria are mainly skirts, with open neck and waist, long sleeves and short sleeves, lace neckline and cuffs, mainly white. Skirts are similar to aprons in style to show the temperament of professional women. Some skirts are bright, some are simple and elegant, and some are deep and solemn. The skirt is decorated with embroidery and flower picking, and white stockings are added to the legs.

This national costume of Bavaria is rarely worn by people in other areas except remote mountain villages. As a precious national heritage, it is carefully treasured and can only be put on during festivals, festive activities or traditional performances. People use this colorful traditional costume to paint bright colors for the happy atmosphere.
