What kind of clothes can you get in Vietnam?

Question

This Spring, my family and I are going to Vietnam. My mom says that we're going to do a LOT of shopping, so I want to get as much stuff as I can there that I can't possibly get in the US. I was curious, what kind of clothes do they have in Vietnam that seem special or are unique?

I'm a big fan of lolita styled clothes, do they have anything like that? Could someone possibly give me some pictures of some of the clothes you can get in Vietnam?

Thanks in advance~

HAVE FUN IN VIETNAM

Answer 2

well its been i while since i've been to vietnam but the most noticeable thing is the national dress called an ao dai, it is a dress that is split into two with pants sort of like a really long shirt (from the name). You could also get ao dais with very detailed embroidery with is very unique.

Answer 3

I think you're gonna have a very tough time finding lolita styled clothes in Vietnam simply because it's not fashionable and definitely not the "in thing" there. I don't know how old you are, but besides "ao dai" there're lots of shops selling foreign brand urban clothings that appeals to teens and youths for very low prices. Check them out, you'll be amazed with what you see.

Answer 4

Women clothes only. Men clothes are out of date in VN. there are many women clothes shop in VN, make sure you shops right one. Don't forget, all prices are bargain.

Answer 5

well most people that i know that have recently went to vietnam (are older) I'm guessing your under twenty?? but most older people get clothes tailored made, I mean like slacks, ao dai's. as mentioned. But here's the thing, they do have some cute kinda old fashioned looking tops but most ppl wear matching pajama like clothing. Do you know what i mean? my mother wore slacks and a button up shirt and she said you felt out of sync. so my guess is that you will find alot of tops. which aren't always as good a quality as if it were from here. sorry, i feel as tho im ranting. so good luck and have fun!!!

also im curious as to what exactly lolita clothing is? can you elaborate for me? thanks either way. once again i hope you have fun, and if you dont mind my saying you should also consider bringing old clothing of yours over there either for relatives or for donating. ppl i know always appreciate when i do

Answer 6

I think the Vietnamese Ao Dai is the most graceful and flattering clothing I have ever seen on a woman!  Here is a photograph of a woman on the street wearing one:  http://whatwedoissecret.org/madebyblog/w...

Answer 7

If Ao Dai didnt suit you, you can choose others...there are so many up-to-date & trendy fashion here in Ho Chi Minh City. Just come here first and do your shopping...

Answer 8

I'm not sure you're Vietnamese or others. If traditional Vietnamese clothing is not for you, I'm sure there are others hip clothes that you can buy. However, if you buy other types of clothing, you can get them anywhere, you don't have to get them in Vietnam.

Áo dài is only flattered for people who are thin because it's a form fitted dress. Lots of people in the US or oversea are still wearing them on their wedding's day. It's beautiful because of the material. Also Miss Vietnam USA is also judged as one of their fashion besides swim suit.

My sisters grew up in the 60-70' in Vietnam. They did wear bell bottom, low rise jeans and clogs just like everywhere in the world at that time. The clothes you see now is actually wore by those hippies in the 60'.

If you're looking for unique clothing, Áo dài definitely is unique because you can't find that anywhere except where Vietnamese people reside. All of them are handmade.

Answer 9

there are these this called ao dai or something like that. It's like a dress except it's split on the two sides and there are pants...

Good luck
