Flower patterns & embroidery at the Oktoberfest in 2021
While some of the great designers (for example Krüger Dirndl) this time on one elegant style set, a simple and more traditional style dominates in Hammerschid’s creations. Natural, rather dark colors, fine patterns and traditional cuts are used here. But romantic dirndls shouldn’t be neglected in 2021 either. Most designers rely on cute dotted and scattered flower patterns and playful embroidery in the shape of flowers.
Spitz and Froschgoscherl at the Oktoberfest 2021
In addition to girly, elegant embroidery and lace patterns, one trend in particular catches the eye at the Oktoberfest: that Froschgoscherl or Frog mouths. This special border with which the traditional and dirndl fabrics appear processed special way and being “gathered” so that a wave-like surface is created that, on closer inspection, reminds us of torn frog mouths, we encountered many creations this year. Not only the Dirndl wears Froschgoscherl in 2021, but also bows, aprons and hats are decorated in this way. We are excited to see what other ideas the designers will enchant us with this year.

Dirndl hairstyles: what’s trending in 2021?
This year, too, the dirndl will not let itself go from the classic braided hairstyle separate. “Classic” does not mean, however, that it is the Dirndl hair wreath lack of whistle – on the contrary! The traditional one Gretl hairstyle can be simple and elegant, playful and a bit “messy”, but also extra glamorous. If you like, you can do the braided hairstyle sweet floral decorations embellish what becomes an eye-catcher especially with rather simple clothes. Incidentally, the one is a little looser than the classic Gretl hairstyle lateral herringbone potwho is also on French style can be braided. For this, simply braid the hair loosely to the side, starting from the natural parting, and either let it fall open over the back or pin it together at the back of the head to form a bun.
By the way, if you want to make sure that the hairstyle catches your eye this year too, you can work with us Hoops, clasps or ribbons. Colorful ribbons create wonderful effects in braided hairstyles. And loops or playful knots give the whole thing the finishing touch.
