Collection: Bavarian Lederhosen Socks for Oktoberfest

The excellent way to wear cultural socks for Oktoberfest is to accompany them with short lederhosen. Also, you can attain a polished look by following a technique. First and foremost, pull these socks up to your knees. Then, fold the top and make sure to do so over the edge of your lederhosen. Keep the fold around 2 to 3 inches above lederhosen’s top. Just avoid wearing them too low or too high. 

Our Oktoberfest Trachten Socks: Distinctive Characteristics

Socks Types

Let's begin with knee-length socks, which are also called Kniestrümpfe. These long embroidered German Lederhosen socks (or even simple ones) extend to just below the knees. You can uplift your style by wearing these knee socks with short Trachten Lederhosen or Bundhosen knee-length pants

Next, we have Loferl or calf warmers. They are iconic and have separate knitted bands that cover the calf. And they can keep your legs warm. Also, this leads to highlighting your calf muscles, which is somehow a sign of masculinity.

Another sort of socks to wear in order to have an authentic Bavarian look are ankle socks, also recognized as Socken. They are more casual and modern, hence, a very comfortable option. Also, they can be worn with Lederhosen. 

High-Quality Materials

Our socks for the traditional Oktoberfest costumes are made of wool, cotton and pashm fabric. In fact, it's mostly the wool and other materials that are a blend of cotton and polyester. Our wool socks are very breathable, even if they are damp. And, besides giving you the genuine Oktoberfest look, our wool Loferl offers incredible warmth. Also, undoubtedly, they are soft and non-itchy.

The high-quality cotton is another great option, especially for summer. These Bavarian Trachten socks are comfortable for all-day wear. Additionally, they are usually blended with synthetic materials. 

Colors & Detailed Patterns

Keeping you warm during the Oktoberfest is one of the prime tasks of our German Loferl. However, their traditional aesthetic is clearly seen in the form of intricate patterns. Floral motifs are vivid examples, such as the Edelweiss flower, which is a symbol of the Alps. Such designs are also there on our Bavarian German jackets for men. In fact, there are many patterns that reflect Bavarian culture.

Also, our traditional Lederhosen socks are available in diamond patterns of a variety of colors and sizes. You can notice the formation of a continuous design that runs the length of the sock. Another interesting aspect is the two-color patterns. 

Conversely, our socks for Lederhosen have different classic and accent colors, such as gray, ivory, tan, green, blue and so on. 

Non-Slip Fit & Size Variety

The materials play a key role in maintaining the elasticity of these men's Lederhosen socks and preventing them from sagging. There is a top cuff in each sock, which is designed with a tighter knit or a ribbed pattern. This band is for gripping the calf. However, the wearer will not feel any discomfort. 

On the other hand, our size and measurement guide is a huge blessing for our customers, as it helps them to get the right size. Some pieces may follow a one-size-fits-most approach. However, going to individual product pages can further assist you.
