Tracht is a traditional garment (Dirndl & Lederhosen) or a dress code typically associated with Austria and Bavaria. It is the Sunday-best that you would have in your wardrobe. It is mostly worn on special occasions such as important festivals, Easter, Christmas, weddings, etc. They are often richly decorated, and the quality of the work represents a sign of the riches and social status of the person wearing it. In the broadest meaning, it is just synonym for everything you wear, including clothing, jewellery, hairstyle, make-up, accessories and insignia.
