Lunar New Year (Tết) is the most cherished celebration in Vietnam, much like Christmas in the West. During Tết, the Vietnamese proudly wear the Ao Dai, a symbol of tradition, elegance, and national pride.
When it comes to embodying the beauty and sophistication of Vietnam, few symbols resonate as profoundly as the Ao Dai. Far beyond being just a traditional garment, the Ao Dai represents the soul of the Vietnamese people, reflecting their grace, cultural identity, and enduring heritage through the centuries.
The History of Ao Dai: A Legacy Through Time
Originating in the 18th century during the Nguyen Dynasty, the Ao Dai began as a simple straight-cut dress with side slits, paired with wide-leg trousers. Over the years, this iconic garment evolved, transitioning from a high-collared, long-sleeved design to modern styles that incorporate innovative cuts and contemporary flair, all while preserving its timeless beauty.
