For centuries, poets, writers and musicians have mentioned the Ao dai in poems,
novels and songs. The Ao dai is the traditional dress of Vietnamese women. It
consists of a long silk tunic that is slit on the sides and worn over loose pants.
Traditionally, it was frequently worn by both men and women. The design and material
used for men were different from those used for women. Nowadays, women usually
wear it, especially on special occasions. However, many Vietnamese women today
often prefer to wear modern clothing at work, because it is more convenient.
Now fashion designers want to change the traditional Ao dai. Some have printed
lines of poetry on the Ao dai, so they look modern and very fashionable. Other
designers have taken inspiration from Vietnam's ethnic minorities.
They have visited villages and studied traditional designs and symbols such as suns,
stars, crosses, and stripes. They have added these patterns to the Ao dai, so
Vietnamese women can continue to wear the unique dress, which is now both
traditional and fashionable.
