Vân kiên is a type of neck covering used to prevent soiling the shoulders of clothing and as an ornament. Vân kiên was common on statues from the Lê dynasty, the aristocracy of the early Nguyễn dynasty, and the Nguyễn dynasty's opera and theater troupe. Currently, some shops specializing in Vietnamese traditional clothing have designed vân kiên as a highlight of modern attire.
Speaking to Tuoi Tre Online , Nguyen Thai Huong, a student in class 12B2 at Truong Vinh Ky Primary, Secondary, and High School ( Dong Nai ), confirmed that she is the person in the aforementioned photos. Huong wore this unique outfit during her graduation ceremony on June 22nd.
"This outfit is very suitable for the graduation ceremony. I also hope that traditional Vietnamese clothing will become more widely known to teachers and friends," she said.
Previously, Huong was very interested in traditional clothing. Coincidentally, while browsing TikTok, she saw a picture of a brocade ornament from a shop. Huong was captivated at first sight. After watching the clip, she decided to search for information about brocade ornaments, such as when this type of jewelry originated, how people recreate and apply brocade ornaments, etc. She felt the garment was very beautiful but wondered why not more people knew about it.

Huong decided to incorporate the brocade pattern into her graduation attire as a way to blend modernity and tradition. The graduation gown was embellished with the striking brocade pattern, and the graduation cap, adorned with flowers, was rented to add color to her outfit.
When Huong wore this unusual outfit, her friends and teachers were all surprised to see someone wearing such a beautiful graduation gown for the first time. The vice principal even asked, "Where did you get this? It's so beautiful! Do you really need to dress so nicely at the end of the year, Huong?" This made the student feel shy but also delighted.
"I think the current graduation gowns are already very beautiful, but they would be even more beautiful if worn with traditional Vietnamese attire. I also hope that cultural values will not fade away and that this attire will become more widely known," Thai Huong said.
Female students love wearing Vietnamese traditional clothing.
Previously, Huong wore a yellow five-piece outfit with loose sleeves during a presentation at school during the period leading up to Tet (Lunar New Year). She said that this outfit not only brought the Tet atmosphere, with the yellow color of apricot blossoms, but also delighted her friends.

On average, to own a traditional Vietnamese outfit, female students have to spend between 600,000 and 1.5 million VND. Currently, she owns three unique traditional outfits.
However, the biggest problem with her wearing this outfit is that if she buys it ready-made, the shirt is usually too long and wide, making it difficult to move around.
"I resold two sets of traditional Vietnamese five-panel dresses with loose sleeves and a single-panel dress because I found them difficult to move around in. I only kept one set of five-panel dresses with fitted sleeves to keep and wear on special occasions. I plan to invest the money I earned in other outfits," Huong shared.

Like other lovers of traditional Vietnamese clothing, Huong also regularly follows websites that sell unique outfits that recreate the atmosphere of Vietnamese people in the past. Although she likes them because they are beautiful, Huong is also hesitant to buy them because of her limited budget. "I can only admire them from afar. Hopefully, one day I will have the opportunity to buy one," she said.
Huong also said she would have her clothes custom-made so they could be more tailored to fit her better than ready-made ones. Currently, this student is looking for a tailor shop in Dong Nai to make it more convenient for her hobby of collecting traditional Vietnamese clothing.
