Women look great in dirndls, not only because the dresses fit well and flatter your figure but also because of the elaborate designs inspired by traditional Bavarian Trachten. The traditional hairstyle usually involves combing and braiding the hair.
While men at Oktoberfest wear Lederhosen and they do not have to worry much about their hairstyle as they have to wear an Alpine hat.
While simple, this Bavarian dirndl dress can be embellished with other accessories as you see fit. When choosing your hairstyle, it’s important to consider what else you’ll be wearing with the dress and how that will enhance your look.
Let us have a look at different hairstyles that will turn the heads of many men this Oktoberfest:
Must Try Hair Dos’ with a Dirndl Dress
- Short Curls
Many layered hairstyles are made for people with a lot of hair to work with. But don’t worry if you have short hair. Curls will still make your look more interesting.
To get a natural-looking curl, start at the front of your head and wrap a small section of hair around a curling iron. Smoothly alternate which side you curl from one section to the next.
- Braided Crown
The braided crown is a simple, effortless way to add volume and style to your hair. It works well with medium-length to long hair.
To do this hairstyle, first, braid your hair into two pigtails which should hang low on the back of your head. Take one pigtail over your head and pin it one inch behind your hairline. Do the same with the opposite pigtail. Make sure that it is pinned behind the first pigtail.
- Braided Hallo
The braided halo is an easy DIY hairstyle that looks great on brunettes or blondes. All you need are some bobby pins and hair elastics. Divide your hair into three sections. Take the top section, wrap it around your head, and pin it in place with a few bobby pins.
Repeat this step with the bottom two sections of hair, and then make a poof out of the remaining hair at your crown. Secure the poof with bobby pins, and you’re done!
- Flower Bun
The flower bun is a great way to keep hair out of your face and look extra-stylish. Separate one-inch strand of hair at each temple and pull the strand back. Then gather the rest of your hair at the nape of your neck and twist it into a ponytail.
Finally, wrap the separated pieces around the base of the ponytail and pin them in place with bobby pins.
Twist your braids together to create a flower-like shape, then pin them in place with a bobby pin. Curl the temple pieces around the bun and pin them down as well. Add colorful flower accessories for a finishing touch!
- Pigtail
Oktoberfest is a folk festival that takes place in Munich, Germany. It is celebrated by eating bratwurst, drinking beer, and wearing traditional German dress with typical German double braid fashion.
This soft, feminine hairstyle works great on medium-length hair. Start by taking two small braids and weaving them together on either side of your head, letting the braids cascade over your shoulders.
- Fishtail braid
The fishtail braid is an ornate style that focuses on one long braid of hair. First, create a low ponytail on one side of your head, securing it with a clear elastic. Then, divide the ponytail into two sections and begin braiding.
Take a thin strand from the other section of hair and weave it around the first section. Continue bringing thin strands onto the first section until the other section is gone. Secure the end of this strand with a clear elastic and cut off the original band that held together both ponytails.
- Bonnet
Bonnets are a classic Oktoberfest accessory. They’re still worn today, though not as often as top hats. But, if you want a hairstyle that’s quick to do and doesn’t require curling irons or clear elastics, just throw on a bonnet. People will understand.
When choosing a hairstyle for Oktoberfest, there are many options. A traditional bonnet or pigtails may be just the thing, or you could create a new look using the braiding formula. Whatever you choose should embody the spirit of this festive event!

Your dirndl may be embellished with beautiful small laces. Pair your dirndl dress with a beautiful blouse in white or black cotton. Next comes your shoes; wear comfortable shoes like Oktoberfest pumps or some boots so you can hang over all the day long without getting tired.
