Tyrolean trousers green Ben

The green Ben lederhosen are dark green knee breeches with fixed suspenders, beige decorative trim along the pockets and a floral-motif oval emblem on the flap. The fabric has a fine, suede-like appearance and the legs end just below the knee, with a button at the cuff. Men wear these breeches during Oktoberfest, a beer festival, an après-ski party or during Carnival.

How do these green knee breeches differ from short lederhosen?

This version reaches just below the knee, while short lederhosen stop halfway down the thigh. In the Alpine regions, knee breeches are part of the traditional costume and are worn with knee socks, so that no bare leg is visible. Green is a standard color in that traditional costume alongside brown, often combined with a beige or cream-colored trim. For an evening in a cool party tent or on a winter sports holiday, the longer leg is the practical advantage.

Hat, socks and jewelry for this Bavarian look

A red-and-white checkered shirt under the suspenders makes the look instantly recognizable, just as it is worn with the breeches in the photo. Complete the look with a Tyrolean hat with a feather, knee socks and sturdy lace-up shoes. Accessories such as an edelweiss necklace, a beer mug on a cord or sunglasses with a Bavarian motif work well, and with some makeup for rosy cheeks you complete the rustic look.

Bring home the green Ben lederhosen and you will have a complete Bavarian look in the party tent or at the ski bar.
