An easy-to-style traditional overcoat with two soft parallel panels — lending its wearer an air of grace and gentleness.
As the outermost layer of a woman's traditional ensemble, the Áo Đối Khâm (parallel-collar overcoat) is marked by two collar panels that fall straight and parallel without closing over each other. Usually draped over a Yếm (traditional bodice), it lends a gentle, graceful feel and pairs easily with the layers beneath.
An overcoat tied to Vietnamese women across many stages in the history of dress, the Áo Đối Khâm later grew scarce before being brought back to life by the wave of love for traditional costume. Its graceful, easy-to-combine form helped it swiftly return to contemporary life.
Rather than being buttoned, the two front panels are left hanging in parallel or lightly tied, accompanied by wide sleeves. Combined with a Yếm and a skirt, the robe builds soft, flowing layers of fabric.
The layered way of wearing the Áo Đối Khâm reveals the aesthetic sense and deftness of Vietnamese women of old, while highlighting their beauty — at once bashful and free.
Wearing the Áo Đối Khâm, travelers feel like a Vietnamese maiden of earlier days, keeping poetic period photographs beside settings rich with traditional atmosphere.
The Áo Đối Khâm tends to choose gentle tones such as white, blush pink, light blue, pale yellow, and lavender, blending subtly with the shade of the Yếm worn within.
