Braies are a type of trouser worn by Celtic and Germanic tribes in antiquity and by Europeans subsequently into the Middle Ages. In the Late Middle Ages, they were used exclusively as undergarments. Braies generally hung to the knees or mid-calf, resembling what are today called shorts. They were made of leather, wool, or, in later years, cotton or linen. They were adopted by the Romans as braccae. By the 11th century, Braies were ankle-length pants held in place by a cord fitted through the top. People from the upper classes wore more fitting braies. while people of the lower classes typically wore loose braies.

If you're planning a trip to Italy, you won't want to miss the stunning natural beauty of Braies. Located in the northern region of South Tyrol, this small town is home to some of the most breathtaking mountain landscapes in the country.

At the heart of Braies is Lake Braies, a crystal-clear lake surrounded by towering peaks and dense forests. The lake's emerald waters are perfect for swimming in the summer, while in the winter, the frozen surface becomes a popular spot for ice skating and ice fishing.
