What is the female version of lederhosen ?

In the world of traditional Bavarian clothing, most people recognize men in leather shorts known as Lederhosen. But what about women? Is there a female version of Lederhosen ? Yes — and it's gaining huge popularity among women worldwide, especially for festivals like Oktoberfest, Bavarian Days, and other German-themed cultural events.

What Are Women's Lederhosen Called ?

The female version of Lederhosen is typically called Lederhosen for Women, “Damen Lederhosen”, or simply women’s Lederhosen. Unlike the Dirndl (traditional Alpine dress), women's Lederhosen represent strength, freedom, comfort, and a bold sense of style.

How Women's Lederhosen Differ from Men's

  • Fit: Lederhosen Women are tailored to fit curves — snug at the waist and hips.

  • Length: Available in various lengths — short shorts, knee-length, or even capri-style leather pants.

  • Embroidery & Design: Often feature floral embroidery, bright colors, or heart-shaped details.

  • Style: Designed to combine tradition with a modern, fashion-forward edge.

  • Material: Made with soft genuine leather, including cowhide, sheep , lambskin, and suede, offering comfort and durability.
