For formal ceremonies, men would have two additional items, a long gown. With slits
on either side, and a turban, usually in black or brown made of cotton or silk. In feudal
times, there were strict dress codes. Ordinary people were not allowed to wear clothes with
dyes rather than black, brown or white. Costumes in yellow were reserved for the King.
Those in purple and red were reserved for high ranking court officials, while dresses in blue
were exclusively worn by petty court officials. Men's dress has gradually changed along
with social development.
The traditional set of a long gown and turban gave way to modern-looking suits while
business shirts and trousers have replaced traditional long sleeved shirts and wide trousers.
Traditional costumes still exist and efforts are increasingly being made to restore traditional
festivals and entertainment which incorporate traditional costumes.
For women, the outer garment is a special silk gown called an "ao tu than" which is
brown or light brown in colour with four slits divided equally on its lower section. The
second layer is a pink gown. When a woman wears her three gowns, she fastens the buttons
on the side, and leave those on the chest unfastened so that it forms a shaped collar. This
allows her to show the different colors on the upper part of the three gowns. Today, on
formal occasions women wear "aodai".
