Could lederhosen for ladies be the next big thing in China?

Lederhosen are probably one of the most laughed at pieces of clothing (even as a German myself, I think they're not really that suited for modern day wardrobes), but apparently the [traditional Bavarian shorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chinese-golden-age-models) are making a comeback... in the form of lederhosen for ladies.

Or not. Perhaps its just a [rebellious fashion statement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-looks) made by "this young high school student who hopes to be a graphic designer," as Stylites in Beijing called her.

After you stop gawking at the lederhosen for ladies, check out the other images in the gallery which include [summer 2009 street style looks from Beijing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-chinese-new-years).
