Lederhosen are traditional German shorts made from leather, typically worn by men. They originated in the Alpine regions of Germany and Austria and are often associated with Bavarian culture. The name "lederhosen" translates to "leather trousers" in English. These garments are usually knee-length and feature decorative embroidery, making them popular for festivals and cultural events. Lederhosen are commonly worn during celebrations like Oktoberfest, a famous beer festival held in Munich. They are often paired with a checkered shirt and Tyrolean hat. While originally practical workwear for farmers and laborers, lederhosen have become a symbol of Bavarian heritage and pride.
