Traditions

Schoolgirls cycling down the street wearing the traditional Ao Dai costume, a graceful image of Vietnam.

The áo dài is a Vietnamese national costume, now most commonly worn by women but can also be worn by men. In its current form, it is a tight-fitting silk tunic worn over trousers.. Áo translates as shirt. Dài means "long". 

Ao Dai in white color always contains different meanings, both traditional custom, Vietnamese women’s beauty and gentleness of Vietnamese schoolgirls.
