The Oktoberfest glasses are party glasses with a blue-and-white checkered frame in the colors of Bavaria, featuring a gold-colored lion on the left temple. Thanks to the dark lenses and pointed cat-eye shape, they stand out on both women and men attending Oktoberfest, a beer festival, or a Tyrolean-themed party.
The checkered pattern and lion of the Oktoberfest glasses
- The frame features a blue-and-white checkered pattern across its entire width, with white temples that become solid white towards the back.
- The left temple features a small gold-colored lion as a decorative detail.
- The lenses are darkly tinted, so you are less likely to squint your eyes on a sunny festival grounds.
- The model measures 15 x 5 cm and has a plastic frame, so you will barely feel it on your nose.
- The shape is unisex and suits both women and men.
Where does the blue-and-white checkered pattern come from?
The blue-and-white checkered pattern is the emblem of Bavaria, the German region where Oktoberfest has been celebrated in Munich since the nineteenth century. You will see the same checks on tablecloths, garlands, and sweaters at beer festivals in the Netherlands and Germany. The lion is part of the Bavarian coat of arms and is often used as a festive symbol on accessories. If you prefer to wear a red-and-white version with the Cologne coat of arms, then choose the Cologne Oktoberfest glasses. In that case, the colors reflect the city of Cologne, while these glasses follow the Bavarian flag, so choose blue-and-white if your party revolves around Munich and Oktoberfest.
How to complete your Bavarian look
Combine the glasses with a dirndl or lederhosen and add a Tyrolean hat, and the look will be instantly recognizable. If you are wearing everyday clothes, a blue-and-white checkered shirt or a beer mug in your hand works just as well. Place the glasses on your head during the polonaise so they stay securely in place.
