🎯TIPS:

• Thrift stores or online rentals in Germany often have affordable traditional wear if you change your mind.

• Accessorize: Edelweiss jewelry, felt hats, lace socks, or even a small bag with embroidery can give the vibe.

• Comfy shoes are a must—you’ll be walking and dancing a lot!

• Consider the weather—bring a light jacket if it’s chilly.
