Dirndl is the Bavarian word for girl and because formerly all women wore this dress, it was given the same name.
But first, dress for the occasion!
The traditional dress of Germany, the dirndl is mostly worn in Austria and Bavaria. Dirndl is the Bavarian word for girl and because formerly all women wore this dress, it was given the same name.
The dress consists of a wide and long skirt with a corsage, a white blouse and a colorful apron. Women may wear it at formal occasions (much like Scotsmen wear kilts) and during certain traditional events.

As for the men, lederhosen are leather shorts or breeches, often with braces worn by boys and men in German-speaking European countries. This is apparent in particularly in Bavaria.
Now that you are appropriately dressed for the occasion, let’s transport you straight to the beer halls of Singapore.
