Tracht comes from the word "Tragen" meaning "to wear." Thus, Tracht means that which one wears.
At one time, the Tracht, or clothing worn, was an individual's choice of colors, fabrics, metals, etc. As the regional Tracht began to fade in the late 1800s in rural Bayern, Vereine formed for the specific purpose of preserving the Tracht and other parts of the heritage (song, dance, dialect).
The Vereine have made the Tracht more uniform, i.e., all the members wear the same color ties, skirts, Spenser, socks, etc., but the details of the Tracht, such as jewelry or lace patterns, are left to the individual's choosing.
