Vietnamese 'Ao dai' is the traditional dress worn by women. It was influenced by Chinese clothes called Jangsam in long clothes and Couze in the baggy pants. Also, it is characterized by the long, narrow waist and side vent so, the pants would look. Because he design of 'Ao dai' is similar to the Chinese 'Chipao', you can confuse each other. When we see the person who wears 'Chipao', we can't look pants. But, we can see pants in 'Ao dai'.
The áo dài is a Vietnamese national costume, now most commonly worn by women. In its current form, it is a tight-fitting silk tunic worn over pantaloons.
The word "ao dai" was originally applied to the outfit worn at the court of the Nguyễn Lords at Huế in the 18th century. The updated look was promoted by the artists and magazines of Self-Reliant Literary Group as a national costume for the modern era. In the 1950s, Saigon designers tightened the fit to produce the version worn by Vietnamese women today. The dress was extremely popular in South Vietnam in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Academic commentary on the ao dai emphasizes the way the dress ties feminine beauty to Vietnamese nationalism, especially in the form of "Miss Ao Dai" pageants, popular both among overseas Vietnamese and in Vietnam itself.

For centuries, peasant women typically wore a halter top underneath a blouse or overcoat, alongside a skirt. Influenced by the fashions of China's imperial court, aristocrats favored less revealing clothes.
Present Day
No longer deemed politically controversial, ao dai fashion design is supported by the Vietnamese government. In Hanoi, tourists get fitted with ao dai on Luong Van Can Street. The elegant city of Huế in the central region is known for its ao dai, nón lá (leaf hats), and well-dressed women.
The ao dai is now standard for weddings, for celebrating Tết and for other formal occasions. A plain white ao dai is a common high school school uniform in the South. Companies often require their female staff to wear uniforms that include the ao dai, so flight attendants, receptionists, bank female staff, restaurant staff, and hotel workers in Vietnam may be seen wearing it.
