Photo collection of the minority in Vietnam and their costumes


Here are some photos of the minority clothes. There are many minorities in Vietnam, each area has different clothes.

Photos taken in Sapa 2 years ago. 




Other photos - sharing the costumes of the minority women in North Vietnam
They think they can look like a minority women... a wish would never come true

And it turns out -- the ugly truth: the clothes i got was actually for man. But the posing i did was for woman. Combining both elements makes it so gay :( 


Plus something really long which i thought it was a scarf, but i after trying to wear it and almost out of breathe, i think no way this is a scarf. Maybe it's a table cloth. Hmhmmh....
Look how long my "scarf" is. It could cover not only 3 persons but the whole floor. Maybe it's not even a table cloth. Maybe it's a carpet.... Oh no.


Well, then i realize that i look silly with or without the male clothes. The thing on my head was actually the cover of the food container that i hold in my hand. The purple stuff is rice
The woman in yellow top is the real minority. Her hair is made in a very interesting way, looks much nicer than the food cover that i got. Jealous...


Minority woman - The real one and the fake one




Well, there are lots of different clothes/ styles/ minorities/ tribal in the world. 
Yet, once we mention the traditional costume in Vietnam, it has always been and will always be Ao Dai.

From the old days



 A while ago, highschool students have to wear this Ao Dai to school. So you can see this traditional costumes everywhere. The classic look was the Ao dai on bicycle :) The unique image is lost in transaction somehow















And the twist of Ao Dai design...  Reminding people of the history of the long-lost empire in Hue

With lotus pond in the background.... Lotus also reminds people about the king era, while also symbolizes the purity and the beauty.

Besides Ao Dai, there is another famous costumes (mostly in the North) - can be very sexy.
