Traditional costume from the Alsace.
Odenwälder and Bergsträßer traditional costume.
Non-specific traditional costume from the South and Southwest of Germany.
These murals in Lindenfels are badly faded, I enhanced them with photo shop. The left picture depicts the traditional costume of Lindenfels in the Odenwald; the right picture shows young women from Moëlan sur Mer in traditional Breton costume. The two towns are twinned.
Another version of Odenwald costume from Neunkirchen, the highest village in the Hessian part of the Odenwald, part of the community of Modautal.

I like the traditional costumes as well; it’s a pity we don’t see them more often 😩

They are NOT very comfortable. Also: Tourists have a fascination with Bavarian/Austrian so-called traditional costumes (although it has been documented that particularly the “lederhosen” are a fairly new phenomenon of the mid 19th century, with quite a few political undertones) – and it is not how Germans in other parts dressed in former times.

It’s amazing how tourism can perpetuate a myth of local culture & traditions. Fortunately, Highland dress & the kilt is able to trace its history way back!

Did I ever tell you – I do wear a kilt? A sports kilt, though. The tartan is registered with the Scottish Tartan Association (Hash House Harriers have 2 tartans registered, the hunting and the trail tartan). Although, I have to admit after sitting on a wasp a few years back I wear it as a skirt, not a kilt anymore.

I had a couple of young men from Germany stay here one night last week. Robin asked about clothing as he wanted to buy clothes that made him fit in a bit better. I told him about Aussie “Summer style” and boardshorts. He didn’t understand until I explained and he showed my the shorts he was wearing that he bought that the saleslady said he could also go swimming in, but they had a belt!!!
I said he wouldn’t attract too many girls wearing lederhosen which caused a lot of mirth and a German conversation between them.

He is right. Although, in Bavaria it’s a bit different.
