Áo Tứ Thân is considered one of Vietnam’s most enduring relics, having been worn widely by women centuries before the Áo Dài as we know today as the traditional outfit of Vietnam.

The mid-2000s were a golden time for "áo đầm". Retro- and vintage-inspired dresses were hugely popular—a form-fitting bodice that gave way to a flouncy skirt was all one needed to be a fashionista.
Vietnamese traditional costumes have been influenced by western fashion trend and replaced by more modern and convenient clothing styles but traditional charm and main characteristics are still preserved. The Vietnamese people still pride themselves on their unique dressing style and culture. And that elegant beauty remains the attraction for travelers when coming to this stunning S-shaped country.
