In her article, Mirta wrote
that unlike the the Japanese kimono or Korean Hanbok, the Vietnamese ao dai is
worn on various occasions such as weddings, lunar new year and international
events as Vietnam’s national costume. It is also used in schools and offices as
uniform.
Most Vietnamese women wear ao
dai for the national costume event in beauty competitions, she added.
While men wear a loose ao
dai, women choose tight-fitting ones which highlight their curves, the author
wrote, adding that ao dai goes with comfortable, loose-fitting pants.
Ao dai is made from silk and
decorated with different embroidered patterns and often goes with "non la”
(palm-leaf conical hat) or turban, traditional Vietnamese accessories for men
and women, the author wrote.-
