Vietnamese clothing refers to the traditional clothes worn in Vietnam.
Examples of garments

- Áo giao lĩnh - cross-collared robe worn before the Nguyen dynasty.
- Áo tứ thân - a four piece woman's dress, áo ngũ thân in 5-piece form.
- Yếm - woman's undergarment, similar to Chinese dù dōu.
- Áo bà ba - rural two-piece ensemble for men and women[1]
- áo gấm - formal brocade tunic for government receptions, or áo the for the man in weddings.

- Áo tràng Phật tử - typically shortened to "áo tràng" it is a robe worn by Upāsaka and Upāsikā in Vietnamese Buddhist temples. Typically light blue but can be found in brown and is similar to the ones worn by Vietnamese Buddhist monastics in regards to the trademark collar similar to the áo dài but without the sleeves with hidden pockets. While there are matching pants they are not a required part of the outfit for laity. A similar version can be found in Cao Đài temples.
Clothing associated with the Vietnam war include: "black pyjamas", dép lốp (rubber sandals), the rural khăn rằn scarf.
From the twentieth century onward Vietnamese people have also worn clothing that is popular internationally. The Áo dài was briefly banned after the fall of Saigon but made a resurgence.[2] Now it is worn in white by high school girls in Vietnam. It is also worn by receptionists and secretaries.[citation needed] Styles differ in northern and southern Vietnam.[3] The current formal national dress is the áo dài for women, suits or áo the for men.
