Drinking helmets not only add a fun element but also make a great conversation starter at any Oktoberfest celebration.

Beer glasses: Put on your beer goggles

Our literal beer glasses are a humorous addition to your outfit, offering a playful twist that’s sure to get laughs.

Authentic lederhosen: Embrace tradition

For a truly authentic look, pick up our high-quality lederhosen that capture the traditional German spirit of Bavaria. Made from durable materials and designed with comfort in mind, our lederhosen are perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the full Oktoberfest experience. Whether you’re opting for classic leather or a lighter fabric, these shorts pair perfectly with our Bavarian shirts and suspenders.

Bavarian hats: Top off your look

A Bavarian hat is the ultimate finishing touch to any Oktoberfest costume. Available in various styles, including felt hats banded in the colours of the German flag, these accessories add a pop of personality to your look. For those aiming for a more traditional appearance, choose a feathered alpine hat that echoes the classic true Bavarian style.

Pigtail wigs: Add some flair

Blonde, brunette, or redhead, our pigtail wigs are a fun and easy way to add character to your costume. They’re especially great for anyone wanting to switch up their usual look or for those going as part of a themed group. Easy to wear and adjustable for comfort, these wigs are designed to stay in place through all the Oktoberfest celebrations.

Style tips for the ultimate Oktoberfest experience

Choosing the right accessories is all about expressing your style and enjoying the Oktoberfest vibes. Here are some tips to make the most of your Oktoberfest costume accessories:

Mix tradition and fun

Combine classic elements like lederhosen or dirndls with playful accessories like beer glasses or hats to keep your look balanced and engaging. Don’t feel pressured to stick strictly to tradition; Oktoberfest is as much about fun and personal expression as it is about celebrating heritage. Whether it’s your first time attending or your fifth, accessories can make the difference between blending in and standing out.

Go all out with layering

Don’t be afraid to layer on the accessories. Whether it’s wearing multiple hats throughout the night or stacking up on themed jewellery, more can definitely be merrier. Layering adds depth to your costume and gives you more opportunities to showcase your unique style. And remember, Oktoberfest is never a black tie event—so get creative and have fun with your look!

Coordinate with friends

Planning to go as a group? Coordinate accessories with friends for a unified look, whether it’s matching hats or themed drinking mugs. Group coordination not only enhances your overall theme but also makes your presence at any Oktoberfest celebration that much more impactful.

Accessory Highlights: Unique Finds for Oktoberfest

When it comes to Oktoberfest, standing out is half the fun! Beyond the traditional hats and lederhosen, there’s a world of unique accessories that can add a personal twist to your Oktoberfest look. Here are some unconventional accessories you might not have thought of and tips on how to repurpose them to elevate your costume and truly celebrate Oktoberfest:

Repurposing Steampunk Goggles for a Bavarian Twist

Steampunk goggles aren't just for sci-fi fans—they can add an eccentric edge to your Oktoberfest attire. Pair them with a leather hat or vest to give your costume a vintage flair that still nods to traditional Bavarian elements. This quirky addition can also serve as a playful homage to the industrial side of German history, making your outfit perfect for any Oktoberfest celebration.

Vintage Brooches and Pins for a Pop of Personality

Raid your jewellery box or thrift stores for vintage brooches and pins! These can be attached to your Bavarian hat, dirndl, or even lederhosen suspenders to add a touch of elegance or humour. Choose pieces with motifs like beer mugs, pretzels, or even quirky animals to keep the spirit fun and festive. Incorporating unique pins can transform your costume, adding a bespoke touch that sets you apart at any Oktoberfest gathering.

Statement Belts That Make an Impact

Don’t limit yourself to traditional leather belts—experiment with statement belts in bold colours, patterns, or unique materials like braided ropes or metal chains. These can be cinched around dirndls or used to modify lederhosen for a custom look that’s uniquely yours. They can also double as unexpected Oktoberfest party supplies, adding functionality and flair to your ensemble.

Funky Socks and Stockings for a Playful Edge

Oktoberfest is all about fun, so why not take that down to your toes? Instead of sticking with plain knee-highs, opt for patterned socks, colourful stockings, or even mismatched pairs to add a playful twist to your outfit. Patterns featuring pretzels, beer steins, or the German flag can tie your whole look together with a light-hearted touch, ensuring you’re dressed to celebrate Oktoberfest in every detail.

Feather Boas and Scarves for Extra Flair

Add a burst of colour and texture with feather boas or decorative scarves. Drape them over your shoulders, around your waist, or even use them to accentuate your hat. They’re an easy way to add drama and movement to your outfit, making sure you’re the centre of attention at any Oktoberfest celebration. A vibrant scarf can also serve as a versatile piece, doubling as a fun addition to your Oktoberfest party supplies when not in use.

Repurposed Costume Accessories for Oktoberfest Fun

Don’t be afraid to dive into your costume drawer! Pirate hats, cowboy boots, or even old Halloween accessories can be repurposed with a bit of creativity. For example, a pirate’s belt can double as a stylish cinch for your dirndl, and cowboy boots can replace traditional Bavarian footwear for a fusion look that's both practical and eye-catching. This approach not only helps you stand out but also makes your outfit sustainable by repurposing items you already own, adding an eco-friendly twist to how you celebrate Oktoberfest.
