The Vietnamese attire is very striking and great to see. I was surprised to see just how many people actually wear the traditional 'don la' conical hats. It was great at the market to see them all lined up on the street selling their fruits and veg. Another fashion of Vietnam is the Ao Dai. It is a very elegant looking outfit worn by the women. It is composed of long, baggy satin trousers (like bell bottoms), and a beautiful long tunic that swoops down to about their knees or longer. The school girls all wear them, and we love seeing them in their matching white or lilac ao dai's, riding bicyles with the swoops of silk held in their hands as they ride along. If women aren't wearing the ao dai, then they seem to like wearing outfits that resemble pyjamas. Some are quite smart and just look like a matching top and bottoms, and others really are proper PJs! Yes, the sort with fluffy bunny rabbits or teddy bears - and they wear them all day long too! *Stub
