Traditional and Modern Clothing in Vietnam

The traditional Vietnamese garment is the áo dài—a long, flowing silk tunic with intricate embroidery, worn by both genders. Women's versions reach the ankles; men's are shorter, below the knee. Áo dài remains popular for formal occasions.

Daily wear includes Western-style clothing (jeans, T-shirts, dresses). Regional variations exist:

• Áo bà ba: Loose tunic for men and women.
• Áo dài tứ thân: Four-panel dress for women.
• Áo tứ thân: Short-sleeved women's tunic.
• Váy đụp: Wraparound skirt for women.
• Khăn đóng: Men's headscarf.

Clothing choices vary by region (north vs. south), weather, and occasion.
