The anticipation is rising! With the end of summer, a very special event is just around the corner: the Oktoberfest – the most popular folk festival in the world. On this occasion we can finally wear our most beautiful costume again. With the golden season comes new trends in traditional costumes – and one color has become indispensable in traditional costume fashion: black dirndls are the ultimate it-piece.
AlpenHerz All Black Edition – The most beautiful dirndls in black
Not only a trend at the Oktoberfest – black dirndls are an absolute eye-catcher for every occasion and the perfect outfit for elegant traditional costume events and festivities. Whether made of velvet, linen or cotton, the black dirndl simply attracts everyone’s attention and is traditional, elegant and very trendy at the same time. We at AlpenHerz have dedicated ourselves to exclusive, unusual traditional costume fashion and are launching our limited All Black Edition as a homage to the black dirndl.
The all black collection stands for tradition and elegance and sets a modern, stylish twist with the new dirndl designs in elegant color combinations such as black and gold, sage and silver gray or black and mahogany brown:
Dirndl Danielle is a midi velvet dirndl in black and brown. The bodice is designed in a warm, dark brown with a stand-up collar and the flowing skirt has a romantic floral pattern. We have combined this with a silk apron that can be tied around the traditional dress with a beautiful bow. The waist comes into its own here.

Dirndl Madita is also a midi dirndl with a black velvet bodice, which stands in stark contrast to the light beige skirt. The matching shiny, shimmering apron skilfully stages the look. With the Leticia dirndl, on the other hand, we opted for a silver-grey model that was refined with black accents. An elegant black velvet hem runs around the neckline of the dirndl and along the button placket. The black pearl eye buttons contrast beautifully with the light gray bodice.
Model Faith is a dark gray shimmering midi dirndl with an elegant diamond pattern as an ornament that runs over the whole traditional dress. The highlight of the dirndl is the dark green apron made of silk with a black apron string, where a golden buckle sets a very special accent. Like the other dresses, the women’s dirndl Jenna is a midi design and impresses with its elaborately designed bodice in a black and gold check pattern. The skirt is kept traditionally simple, whereupon the silk black apron with a golden buckle looks particularly romantic.
Dirndl Frauke is also a midi dirndl and has a dark top with a sage green skirt. The simpler design is perfectly accentuated by the lighter, sage-green shimmering silk apron. All of these dirndls perfectly showcase femininity.
The right accessories
To round off the all black outfit perfectly, the right accessories should not be missing. It doesn’t matter whether it’s black or another color – every dirndl for women naturally needs the right blouse. Only with the right dirndl blouse is the costume complete and makes your dirndl look perfect.
Traditionally, a white cotton blouse is worn under the black dress. The new designs also allow for more varied combinations. Our AlpenHerz blouse Seraphine goes perfectly with the noble dirndl. Whether high-necked, with lace or wing sleeves, everything is allowed! Black, high-necked blouses look particularly stylish; we would combine our Susan, Naomi or Aileen blouses.
Especially in autumn it can get cooler, the perfect companions are our beautiful jackets, which nestle warmly against their wearer. The models Akira in black or Elanie in black or dark gray look elegant and correspond exactly to the all black style.
We recommend matching men’s waistcoats in black, gray or shades of brown for the partner look so that the couple fits together visually and that the male part also corresponds to the all-black scheme. Our AlpenHerz models Sirius, Sebastian, Matteo or Alexander are the perfect counterpart to our women’s dirndls.
