Spring travel on Tet helps women have the opportunity to wear beautiful and suitable ao dai. Currently, there are many diverse designs on the market, so when choosing satisfactory ao dai outfits, women need to pay attention from material to design to help tôn their figure and radiant appearance.
Prioritize comfortable materials
The most important factor when choosing ao dai is the comfort of the material. Prioritize fabrics with light elasticity and good sweat absorption. If celebrating Tet in the North with cold weather, velvet and brocade or thick silk ao dai both help beautify and keep warm.
Conversely, with the hot southern weather, thin and light materials such as chiffon, silk or felt will bring a comfortable feeling. It is necessary to limit fabrics that are too hard or mixed with a lot of nylon, which will cause stuffiness when participating in activities.
Choose skin-tonifying and trendy colors
Ao dai colors need to match the skin tone of women. Traditional colors such as red, yellow, and pink are always prioritized because of their lucky meaning.
However, for women with tanned skin, avoid overly flashy colors such as lotus pink or banana green. Instead, burgundy, mustard yellow or cream color will help women's faces become brighter and more radiant.
In 2026, blue and pastel tones that are gentle to the eyes are becoming a trend chosen by many women.
Fault-hiding style
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the body will help women choose a suitable ao dai. In addition to traditional waist-cinching ao dai, women are also very fond of straight designs.
For people with slender figures, they should choose brocade, silk materials with puffiness or large patterns to make their bodies look fuller. For people with round figures, they should prioritize round neck and boat neck ao dai with soft draped materials and small patterns running along the bodice to bring slimness to the figure.
Sleeve length
The appropriate length of the design will enhance the wearer's figure. With modernized ao dai, the ideal wing length is as long as the calf, while with traditional ao dai, the wing should be the same length as the pants.
Besides, the trend of wide-leg pants is still loved by women, but it is also necessary to ensure that they are not too long, which will be cumbersome when moving.
Lingerie and accessories selection
Choosing suitable lingerie will bring sophistication and help women avoid clothing incidents. Girls should choose skin-colored lingerie, plain design and no trim to avoid being exposed under thin fabric.
Regarding accessories, a headdress, silver necklace or earrings, pearl necklace will be the perfect highlight. You should combine it with high heels or closed-toe shoes to bring flexibility when spring traveling during Tet.
