Hat
German headgear once again differs from region to region and depending on the occasion. There’s the Alpine hat, made of wool or felt, with a short brim only towards the front of the hat. The hat has a sharp or pointy top. A belted band at the crown with a feather stuck jauntily in one corner and dark, somber colors like green or black, make this hat a smart headpiece.
The Miesbacher hat is another hat style, with a complete round but short brim with a rounded top. This is a very regional style coming from a town in Bavaria. This hat can be decorated by braid, gold cord or lace and feathers. The Tyrolean hat is also popular and is made of felt with a thin cord or braid around the base of the crown. Feathers can be used for decorating, another style is to stick hat pins or small badges on the crown. With most German hats, the hat is one size smaller than the individual’s actual hat size, so the hat sits on the head, rather than over it.
Shoes
Shoes are made of leather, with laces or hooks along the side. Thick woolen socks are worn under lederhosen, either full length or ankle length. Sometimes the socks are embroidered. Suspenders are a very important part of adorning or completing the German man’s attire. They have narrow straps and sometimes, are decorated with an embroidered breast plate. Leather, felt or goat leather are materials used. Ties can clipped or tied on. They are usually heavily embroidered and paired with plain collared shirts. They must match the lederhosen in color and style. Tie rings and clip-on badges or pins add a decorative touch.
That was an in-depth look at what makes up the traditional dress for German men. So whether you are preparing for a trip to Germany and want to blend in with the locals or dressing it up German style, for Oktoberfest, you are now all set with what to wear. Prost!

Whatever hairstyle you choose, make sure that it is an easy to do hairstyle and that it stays for the entire event. You do not want your hairstyle to open up in the middle of the night, forcing the judges to think if you were trying too hard to look different! So make sure you put in those pins tightly, along with a lot of hairspray. The following are a few ideas for pageant hairstyles for girls.
French Twist: If you want to go for a classy hairstyle, then the perfect choice is the French twist. This works best as a pageant hairstyle for medium hair. Start by back combing your hair at the crown and once you have done that, make a ponytail with your hair. Twist the ponytail hair by turning back the hair and roll it into itself. Use pins to secure the roll to the back of your head, but make sure those bobby pins are not visible, as that will make it look untidy and shabby. You can add a few hair accessories to make it look more attractive. The French twist will give you a very regal and elegant look, thus, making it one of the best pageant hairstyles for medium hair.
Finger Waved Style: This is a very popular pageant hairstyle for girls that is also seen on the red carpet on a lot of fashion starlets like Katherine Heigl. To get this retro style, start by applying hair gel to your wet hair. Comb your hair thoroughly to let the hair gel be evenly spread out and once the gel has set, take about an inch to inch and a half of hair and comb press the hair close to the scalp and move it in a waving motion to get that wavy effect. Repeat the same procedure all over, but make sure you use a lot of hairspray. This is a great option for pageant hairstyles for curly hair.
Up Swept Curls: This updo hairstyle is one of the most elegant and sophisticated pageant hairstyles for girls. To get this look, start by splitting your hair into two sections, one a little larger than the other. The large section should include the hair from the sides and front, while the smaller section of the hair should include the hair at the back. With the larger section, smooth out the front section and gather the hair into a ponytail and then take the back section of the hair towards the ponytail. Twist the back section of hair around the base of the ponytail, and use bobby pins to secure it. Curl the ponytail into either a lot of small ringlets, or soft curls with a curling iron.
Low Bun: If you have short hair and are worried that there are no options for pageant hairstyles for short hair which will give you a elegant look, it is not so. Read the rest of this entry »
#1. Determine your climate zone
The U.S. is divided into three zones namely, North, South, and the transition zone, this is so as to determine which kind of grass is suitable for growing in a particular area. The southern zone is mostly suitable for growing warm season grasses. A zone map for grasses is easily available on the Internet. So, check which zone you live in and determine the type of grass that is fit for your location. Factors like elevation, amount of sunlight received and proximity to the sea must also be considered for choosing the right variety of grass for your lawn.
#2. Consider its utility
The next step to select lawn grass is to determine what the lawn is going to be used for. You may either want a beautiful lawn for its aesthetic purpose or may want it as a playground for children. Not all grasses grow well in high traffic areas. Therefore, first consider your lawn’s utility and then choose the grass accordingly.
#3. How much maintenance work can you carry out
Determining the amount of time and effort you can put in maintaining your lawn will help you in deciding the suitable grass type. If you are looking for a low maintenance grass, select a grass variety that is drought-resistant and has slow growth. However, if you are willing to spend more time in taking care of your lawn, then you can use varieties that require regular upkeep like fertilizer application, watering, mowing etc.
