Gen Z sends love into the Ao Dai on Spring days

Every spring, wearing the charming Ao Dai is a way for Gen Z to express their creativity, love and pride in the traditional costume of the nation.

Vu Pham Linh Chi (21 years old, Nam Dinh): The perfect choice to welcome the new year

"Every Tet, my family takes a set of photos to welcome the new year on the first day. My grandmother, mother, aunt and I all wear ao dai. Not only that, there was a year when my father and my cousin, who is the same age as me, also wore ao dai. That was always a set of photos that the whole family eagerly awaited. Because it marked the beginning of the new year with joy and happy moments of the family. That set of photos became familiar to all friends and relatives of every member of my family every morning on the first day of Tet.

Wearing Ao Dai has a Tet atmosphere and is the perfect choice for me. The Ao Dai makes me feel gentler and connected to the generations, especially when several generations in my family wear the same style of clothing. I find this very interesting, it feels both formal and intimate.

When wearing Ao Dai during Tet, I am not fussy about choosing the style. I find that Ao Dai designs for young people today are very creative, both preserving traditional features and bringing a modern feel. Designers often innovate with designs, colors and materials to create more youthful and dynamic Ao Dai designs. Minimalist, stylized patterns or combinations with modern accessories make Ao Dai easy to wear in many situations. This not only helps young people love national culture more but also makes Ao Dai more attractive and closer in daily life."

Nguyen Viet Ha (21 years old, Hanoi): Inspiration for Spring photo albums

"My Ao Dai photos taken during Tet are often inspired by old Tet images, maybe from movies or simply the Tet scenery of Hanoi streets. I like to recreate the traditional Tet atmosphere with familiar images and places that are typical of Hanoi such as Hoan Kiem Lake, Quan Chuong Gate, Dong Xuan Market...

I think the traditional ao dai still has its own appeal to Gen Z because it enhances the gentle, feminine beauty but is never out of date. The traditional ao dai also carries deep cultural values, helping me feel proud when wearing the national costume. In addition, today there are many traditional ao dai designs with youthful colors and patterns, suitable for the aesthetics of young people like me. It is this combination of traditional beauty and modern breath that also creates a more special attraction and highlight for the traditional ao dai.

Wearing Ao Dai on Tet holiday is a way for Gen Z to connect with traditional culture in a natural and meaningful way. When wearing Ao Dai, I feel very confident and proud of the beauty of national culture. From there, I appreciate and want to preserve the good traditional values ​​of my homeland. Moreover, wearing Ao Dai on Tet holiday also contributes to spreading the beautiful image of Vietnam to international friends."

Nguyen Pham Kieu Trang (22 years old, Ninh Binh): A special and meaningful Tet gift for relatives

"Ao dai is not only a costume, but I also think it is a meaningful gift. Every spring, I often choose ao dai to give to my family members to take Tet photos together. Everyone's reaction is very happy when receiving it. I think that no one does not like such a meaningful gift, because it is both a traditional costume, beautiful and elegant design, and contains the feelings of the giver.

In addition to choosing to wear traditional Ao Dai, I sometimes like to be creative in a more modern and comfortable way. For example, I can choose softer and more airy materials. The style can also be varied to suit my everyday style. Sometimes, I will combine culottes instead of traditional silk pants, or wear sneakers, which are both modern and convenient, easy to move in, suitable for modern life.

I think young people need to proactively grasp the value of the ao dai and promote creativity in their personal dressing style. How to be creative but not offensive, not losing the traditional beauty of the ao dai while still maintaining the convenience and suitability for everyday life. For me, that is also one of the ways to preserve and renew the image of the ao dai."
