Fabulous fashion of Saigon in the 1960s

VOV.VN - In the 1960s, some women in Saigon liked to show off in miniskirts and go-go boots but most preferred the more traditional look donning neutral-coloured Ao Dai long gowns and conical hats.

Some women had sky-high hairstyles like the beehive or maybe even the more down-to-earth, long, straight hair.

Ao Dai have long been the subject matter of works of art, poems, songs and paintings 

When women wear Ao Dai, they always garner the admiration and attention of others

Simple, neat, but charming, the dress has always been a part of the everyday lives of women in Saigon

Young girls in flowing white Ao Dai on their way to school

Passers-by can’t help but take a glance

These slender women epitomize grace and confidence
