The Van Kien is a type of neckerchief used to protect the shoulders from dirt and is also used as an ornament. Van Kien is popular on statues of the Le Dynasty, the aristocracy of the early Nguyen Dynasty and the Nguyen Dynasty's theater and dance groups. Currently, some stores specializing in Vietnamese costumes have designed Van Kien as a highlight of modern costumes.
Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online , Nguyen Thai Huong, a 12B2 student at Truong Vinh Ky Secondary School (Dong Nai), confirmed that she was the character in the above photos. Huong wore this unique outfit at the graduation ceremony at the end of grade 12 on June 22.
"I think this is a very suitable outfit for the end-of-year ceremony. I also want teachers and friends to know more about the costumes of ancient Vietnamese people," she said.
Before that, Huong was very interested in ancient costumes. By chance, while surfing TikTok, she saw a shop's Van Kien. Huong was captivated at first sight. After watching the clip, she decided to look up information about Van Kien, such as when this jewelry was made, how people recreated and applied Van Kien... She felt that the costume was very beautiful but did not understand why not many people knew about it.

Huong decided to combine the cloud pattern with her graduation gown as a way to combine modernity and tradition. The graduation gown was decorated with a prominent cloud pattern. She rented a graduation cap with flowers to add color to the outfit.
When Huong wore this strange outfit, her friends and teachers were all surprised when they first saw her wearing a bachelor's gown. The vice principal even asked: "Where did you get this outfit? It's so beautiful. Do you need to dress so beautifully at the end of the year, Huong?" The female student was shy but still happy.
"I think the current bachelor's gown is very beautiful, but if it is worn with traditional Vietnamese costumes, it will be even more beautiful. I also hope that the cultural value will not be lost and I want this costume to be known by many people," said Thai Huong.
Female students love wearing Vietnamese costumes
Previously, Huong wore a yellow loose-sleeved five-piece outfit during a presentation at school near Tet. She said that this outfit not only brought the Tet atmosphere, with the yellow color of apricot blossoms, but also made her friends excited.

On average, to own a set of Vietnamese traditional costumes, female students have to spend from 600,000 VND to 1.5 million VND. Currently, she owns three unique traditional costumes.
However, the biggest problem when she wears this outfit is that if she buys it ready-made, the shirt is often too long and loose, making it difficult to move around.
"I sold two sets of loose-sleeved five-panel dresses and a Japanese-style dress because I found it difficult to move around. I only kept one set of tight-sleeved five-panel dresses to keep and wear on special occasions. I plan to invest the money I earn in other outfits," Huong shared.

Like other Vietnamese costume lovers, Huong also regularly follows pages that sell many unique costumes, recreating the atmosphere of the Vietnamese people in the past. Although she likes them because they are beautiful, Huong is also hesitant to buy them because her budget is limited. "I can only look at them. Hopefully one day I will have the opportunity to buy them," she said.
Huong also said she will order custom-made clothes to fit better than the ready-made ones. Currently, this female student is looking for a sewing factory in Dong Nai to make it more convenient for her Vietnamese costume hobby.
