Dirndls and Lederhosen

Dirndls dirndls everywhere. .... Well after all, this is Munich and Octoberfest is around the corner. In every shop window there were dirndls and lederhosen - also lederhosen for women, which seem to be popular judging by what the people on the train were wearing.

Window shopping

I had time before my train to Graz to go for a walk in Munich. Window displays in Germany are always professional and interesting to look at. If this display of socks didn't make you want to buy some, what would?

Octoberfest is soon and the shops are full of Dirndls and other traditional south German clothing. In Munich it is not unusual to see women wearing Dirndls but even in Hamburg you can buy them in the shops in the lead up to October.
