White silk "Ao dai"

The beauty of women dressed in “Ao Dai” always leaves a deep impression on foreign visitors to Vietnam.

Girl students dressed in white long robes take to streets on the way to schools or back home, or gracefully sail on their bikes along streets. Female secretaries in delicate pastels greet you at an office door and older ladies in deep shades of purple, green or blue cut a striking pose at a restaurant dinner. The “Ao Dai” appears to flatter every figure.

Sometimes we called "Ao dai" is "Ao trang", means "white dress" or "white coat". This is pure white. Why call that? Because the white "Ao dai" contain the purest meaning and beauty of all "Ao dai"'s kinds. Really when the VietNamese young girl wears "Ao trang", the surrounding scene starts to become charming.

Ao dai is charming!

With Ao dai, comfort has not been forgotten at the expense of fashion and beauty. The cut allows the wearer freedom of movement and despite covering the whole body, it is cool to wear. Synthetic fabrics are preferred as they do not crush and are quick drying, making the Ao dai a practical uniform for daily wear.
















Once you travel Vietnam, you will see how wonderful my country is with charming beauty!

Vietnamese girls in "Ao dai"

There's just something so femenine about the Vietnamese women in their ao dai that perhaps you haven't seen anywhere in any European fashion of any time!









In Vietnamese language 'ao dai' (pronounced 'ao yai') means long dress. In general, it has two main parts: an 'ao dai' (a long dress) and a 'quan dai' (a long pair of white or black silk trousers).









Every ao dai is custom made, accounting for the fit that creates such a flattering look. Traditionally, the color of the Ao Dai for a woman denotes her age or marital status. White means the girl is young and unmarried - early and late teens. For the highschool girls the white symbolizes innocence, naivelty and loveliness.

"Ao dai"

Since the dawn of Vietnamese literature and music, poets and musicians alike have expound the beauty of the ao dai and the grace and beauty it brings to people who wears it. Nowhere in modern literature does an article of clothing have the power to conjure drama, romance and fate like the ao dai in Vietnamese literature. Symbolically, one can argue that Vietnam is ao dai and ao dai is Vietnam. Although the trends in fashion brought to the traditional ao dai many changes in terms of materials and western influences, the ao dai remains a timeless article of clothing that has the strength to unify people.











It is an elegant, demure, and yet sexy outfit that suits people of all ages. Anthony Grey described the Ao Dai in his novel Saigon as "demure and provocative… women seemed not to walk but to float gently beneath the tamarinds on the evening breeze.". The Ao Dai covers everything but its thin fabric hides almost nothing! That's true, Ao Dai is so charming and so sexy.
