Lederhosen are traditional German leather shorts, typically worn in Bavaria and Alpine regions. Made from durable leather, such as deerskin or cowhide, they were originally designed for physical labor, offering protection during farming, hunting, and other outdoor activities. The garments usually feature suspenders, intricate embroidery, and a comfortable fit, designed for both practicality and ease of movement.


Over time, lederhosen evolved from workwear into cultural symbols, particularly during festive events like Oktoberfest. Today, they are worn as part of traditional attire, representing regional pride and heritage. Their design has adapted over the years, with modern variations retaining the essence of the original while adding decorative elements. Worn with accessories such as haferl shoes, a Charivari (decorative chain), and alpine hats, lederhosen continue to be a beloved and iconic piece of Bavarian and Alpine culture.
