The ao dai is a Vietnamese national outfit primarily for women. In its current form, it is a tight-fitting silk tunic worn over pantaloons. Áo dài is pronounced [ wzâ j], approximately ow-zye in the North, and with a y sound for the z in the South. Áo is derived from a Middle Chinese word meaning "padded coat" ( ).Dài means "long".The style worn today is a modernization of the áo ng thân, a 19th century aristocratic gown influenced by Manchu Chinese fashions. Inspired by Paris fashions, Hanoi artist Nguy n Cát T ng and others redesigned the áo ng thân as a dress in the 1920s and 1930s.The updated ao dai was promoted by the artists of T L c v n oàn ("Self-Reliant Literary Group") as a national costume for the modern era. In the 1950s, Saigon designers tightened the fit to produce the version worn by Vietnamese women today.
