Fit In
Munich locals love their fashions and aren't afraid to show it. Expect plenty of jewellery and designer labels, as well as more outlandish designs in the streets around the fashionable Gärtnerplatzviertel district. Don't be alarmed to see the odd Münchner sporting a feathered hunting hat, long socks and Lederhosen - this is Bavaria after all.
