When did the stereotypical Bavarian/South German clothing and culture emerge in the historical scene? I would love to know the historical evolution of that type of clothing leading to its current form. Pics would be nice.
Traditionally every region, village or town in Southern Germany and the Alps had their own clothing, called Tracht in German. Like you could tell by the clothing where someone was from.
In the romanticized 19th century, a certain kind of Tracht of upper Bavaria became fashionable. Theres around half a dozen variations, but all are from different subregions of upper Bavaria, and their frequent use in so called Trachten groups made them a trademark.
The iconic ornate braces are common in the Alps, seems to be some old Germanic mountain dweller thing, Alamanic tribes do have the same style.
Here, have some lesser known Tracht.
