Traditional dress of Vietnam

The trend is same that of other countries to wear western clothing in Urban areas and traditional clothing in rural areas. Their dresses are usually made up of cotton or silk which are hand oven mostly. Such fabric helps to cope up with heat and humidity.

Their traditional dress is called as "Ao Dai" which may be pronounced as Ao zai or Ao yai. It is a body hugging tunic with long sleeves worn with loose trousers. Tunic has splits on the sides that extend above the waist height. Generally married women weat bright and colourful ao dai, unmaaried women wear pastel colours and young girls go with the white one.




They pair it up with the conical hat which protect them from hot sun, rain and rough wind. Both men and women wear them but they have a lot of design which vary a lot.



Men traditional costume is ao dai too, but much shorter and fuller and worn with trousers.
