The Muong seem closer to the Tai style. So I choose the Muong since they have the beauty look and height.

What is Tai style?

This?



or this?




Neither looks similar to Muong dress to me.

I think ao dai is the prettiest dress out of those three.

Ao Dai dress seem kind of over due it tho. I mean sometime it remind me of my graduation gowns. I guess it can be hot too??

Nah aodai is the most simple and is the coolest to wear.

And what are you talking about? It looks nothing like graduation gown

[thumbsUp]

Which dress do you think is prettier?

The Muong dress, ao tu than, or ao dai?

I like the Ao tu than but with the simpler outer jacket and not the 4 flaps one. That one looks so que mua. But they also have to wear the
hair cloth with it. Ao Dai is too modern with the pants.
It'd be Ao Than (without the tu ) then Muong, then Ao dai.

Muong Dress


Reconstructed late Ly- Early Tran dynasty peasant clothing.

girl on left. Besides the color it's extremely similar no?


If ao tu than still looked this way (one on right) it'd beat them all

Modern



What is this dress called?
It looks like Ao Dai but with a skirt instead of pants. Looks better imo. If only Nguyen lords didn't ban usage of skirts.

Your fighting with office is the most silly and stupid here. Xigon was not fighting. She was reasoning.

just forget it, I don't want to go off topic.

The Tai style comes in many form like the Mouang,Zhuang,Lao,Thai,Mien,TaiDam,TaiDang,Dai,Dong, etc....... These style of the Tai have similarity, but is of Tai origin and some of the Chinese traditonal style clothing like the Hans, and those from Taiwan also.

I think áo dài looks better in pictures where movements can be behold




In still pictures where there is no movement then Muong dress looks better

It's also called áo tứ thân. There are many styles of ao tu than just like there are many styles of Hanfu. That version is the closest to aodai.

But nah, ao dai looks better with pants to me because you can see the movements of the legs.

Basically there's nothing called Tai style. They just change depend on where they live due to influences of other groups. Eg. Lao and Thai dress like Mon and Khmer.

Different tastes. I really like the flow that skirts make.
Ao Dai pants flow too but the split in between kind of kills that flowy feeling for me. I wonder how that ao tu than above would look without the belt and a simpler headdress.

I guess Tai is diverse then I thought it would be. lols

áo dài flows better than áo tứ thân imo

Imagine the pants is replaced with the skirt. You won't get the same feeling.

Aodai with pants can do both two things: 1)outlining the lines on the girl's body and 2) creating a flowy floating feeling

[XigonCongchua]

Similarly with this. I think if you replace the pants with the skirt it won't look as good. The outlining of the girl's body would be gone and that flowy floating feeling may be gone too.

I have to agree. If you replace the pants with a skirt, then the dress would look weird. Especially, when it floats in the air.

[XigonCongchua]

The dress of ethnic Jing in China is a combination between Áo tư thân and áo dài.



ao tu than (peasant version)


ao dai



You can see that ethnic Jing dress got the upper part from ao tu than and the pants from aodai.

[thumbsUp]

Hmm it think it depends.
Ao Dai looks better from a modern perspective of dress. That sensual flow revealing everything etc.
We haven't seen any new styles of Au Tu than yet so we can't say the same. All we have are peasant versions. If they actually did the same promotion of Ao Tu than it'd be even more beautiful.

Here's an Ao Dai with a skirt but this skirt isn't like the traditional Vietnamese skirt. Wonder how it'll look with Ao Tu Than skirt.


Ao dai looks nice when you can't clearly see the split of the pants. When both sides flow into eachother and looks like a skirt I think it looks nice.

It pretty much looks like they're wearing skirts most of the time:

That's when it looks nice to me. When you can clearly see the gap between the legs it just feel less flowy.

Your photos of flowy ao dai makes the pants look like skirts too.


It's all material. Some ao dai is made with thin material like that white one which makes it look really flowy but thicker material doesn't give the same effect.

[XigonCongchua]

which is why Vietnamese don't prefer tough materials like Lao and Khmer. We prefer the materials to be soft so our aodai can flow

Chinese qipao doesn't flow partly because the slits are too low, partly because of the materials.
