The Oktoberfest: beer, costume and sneaker style
The Oktoberfest - an event that does not need an introduction. It has been attracting people from all over the world to Munich for over 200 years to celebrate, drink and shine in traditional costume on the Theresienwiese. While the beer flows and the Hendl sizzles on the grill, a new trend is becoming more and more in focus: Sneakers for costume. We look at how you bring your traditional outfit to the next level with sneakers and of course what else the Oktoberfest offers.
What you need to know about the Oktoberfest
In 1810 it all started with the wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese. Instead of a beer tent and party, the focus was on a horse race at the time. Today the event has developed into a mega festival that attracts millions of visitors. Incidentally, the name "Oktoberfest" comes from the fact that the festival previously only took place in October. In the meantime, the start of the sunnier at the end of September has been moved.
The Oktoberfest is a colorful mix of tradition and modernity: from classic Bavarian costume to rustic tents to modern after parties - everyone finds their place here. The large marquee such as the Hofbräu tent or the Schottenhamel are particularly crowd-pulling. The beer price may be high at 14 to 15 euros per measure, but that is simply part of the Oktoberfest.
Tracht and the perfect combination with sneakers
Nothing works without a costume at the Oktoberfest. Anyone who does not appear in dirndls or leather pants at the Oktoberfest will immediately notice - and not in a positive sense. But like everything in fashion, costume has developed. While oat shoes or ballerinas were long standard, more and more people are relying on sneakers to give their outfit a modern twist. And why not? Sneakers are comfortable, stylish and bring exactly the right portion of casualness to your traditional costume outfit.
Sneaker to costume: the perfect look

Traditional costumes: tradition meets modernity
Traditional costume is of course still the order of the day. Lederhosen dominates for men - for short or long, classic in brown or black, often with elaborate embroidery. Women have dirndls who have become shorter and fashionable in recent years. Whether simple or elaborately decorated, the dirndl remains a real eye -catcher at the Oktoberfest.
But no matter how traditionally the outfit is - the combination with modern accessories and sneakers is no longer a taboo. On the contrary: it shows how changeable and timelessly the costume is. Sneakers bring the right balance between tradition and modern street style. And honestly: they are always more comfortable than oat shoes!
More than just beer: what else the Oktoberfest offers
Of course, not all about beer at the Oktoberfest (although this already plays a central role). There are plenty of rides and attractions that ensure fun and action. From the Ferris wheel to the wild mouse to the devil wheel - everyone gets their money's worth here.
The food at the Oktoberfest is also a highlight. Brathendl, Brezn, Pig Haxen and Obatzda are among the classics that you should definitely try. There are roasted almonds and huge gingerbread hearts for the sweet mouths among us - and of course you must not forget the mandatory cotton candy.
