The silver-haired lady from Hanoi wears a quilted shirt and stylishly coordinates her clothes with hundreds of millions of dong worth of designer clothes ( Video : Le Phuong Anh - Mai Cham).
In Hanoi's winter weather, hand-embroidered quilted jackets are the choice of stylish middle-aged ladies, thanks to their ability to keep warm and their high practicality.
A quilted jacket is a jacket made using the "quilting" technique, which means sewing many layers of fabric together with seams to create squares, stripes or raised patterns, with a layer of cotton inside to keep warm.
This is the traditional costume of Northern women in the past, but in recent years it has been renewed and loved again. In particular, the combination of quilted shirts and velvet, silk materials, plus sophisticated hand-embroidered details create a luxurious look for the wearer.

However, to wear a beautiful quilted jacket covered in velvet or silk without creating a heavy, mature feeling, middle-aged ladies can refer to the outfit combinations from the street photo series of 3 "models": Thu Do, Hong Hanh and Thoa Nguyen, members of the "Sparkling Silver Hair Club".
Each person has their own style but they all share the same spirit of minimalism, luxury and attention to materials.
From cropped coats, long coats to silk or brocade versions, quilted coats are combined with designer handbags, shoes and hats, creating a harmonious whole.

Ms. Thu Do (born in 1968) appeared in a black quilted dress with red flared velvet sleeves by designer Duc Hung. She combined the dress with black high heels, a Chanel rhinestone brooch and a pearl necklace, creating a modern and luxurious look.

Lowe sunglasses worth about 16 million VND were chosen to add elegance, while a red handbag from a Thai domestic brand worth about 20 million VND completed the overall outfit.

Ms. Thu Do also introduced a long black velvet quilted cloak with brown fur and a bright red lining.

The outfit is also accented with a Gucci GG Marmont belt with a red gemstone buckle worth 20 million VND, a small Hermès Kelly handbag in cowhide color worth about 260-300 million VND or more (depending on the version), creating an attractive overall look, where every detail contributes to highlighting her fashion style.

The shoulders of the coat are dotted with clumps of brown-yellow fur along the body, creating a vivid contrasting effect. Inside, she combines a black shirt and wide-leg pants as a base for the coat, creating a harmonious overall look.

Not afraid to be unconventional, Ms. Thu Do used a shiny leather scarf on her head, combined with large sunglasses, increasing the attractiveness of her appearance.

With this outfit, Thu Do can also change it up by replacing the headscarf with a Louis Vuitton leopard print scarf.
This small change gives the outfit a more premium feel, while still maintaining its inherent strong style and consistency.

In the picture, Ms. Thoa Nguyen (born 1976) stands out with a quilted shirt with hand-embroidered parrots by designer Duc Hung, a vivid handmade detail that brings a unique artistic touch and highlights the overall outfit.
Inside, Thoa Nguyen chose a red Eva de Eva shirt as the lining, in harmony with the overall color of the outfit.

In addition, Ms. Thoa Nguyen also suggests a short quilted jacket, which both keeps you warm and shows off your legs, making the overall outfit flexible and suitable for going out or meeting friends.

She combined the shirt with Zara leather pants, giving a modern, dynamic feel while also showing off her figure. The red Michael Kors handbag, priced at about 7.3 million VND, was chosen as an accessory, contributing to highlighting the overall outfit and creating color harmony, completing the look.

With a more prominent color tone, Ms. Pham Thi Hong Hanh (born 1965) wore a long red layered dress, combined with a black Coach handbag worth about 10 million VND, black boots and a black cotton shirt.
The shirt is decorated with hand-embroidered floral motifs, creating 3D blocks on a black fabric background, contributing to emphasizing and highlighting the overall outfit.

Sharing with Dan Tri reporter, Ms. Hanh said that she often coordinates outfits according to two main principles: Using colors of the same tone or contrasting to create highlights.
In this outfit, she applied the principle of contrast: the red dress stands out against the black quilted shirt, combined with a red scarf, while the black handbag and boots help balance the overall look, avoiding monotony.

In the second outfit, all three continued to wear quilted shirts, paired with wide-brimmed hats, creating a more dynamic and youthful look than the previous outfits.
Ms. Thu Do chose a short-sleeved quilted jacket with a black-brown polka dot pattern, paired with black pleated wide-leg pants. As a lover of branded goods, she chose a black Chanel handbag worth about 70 million VND, combined with a Hermès bracelet worth about 19 million VND.

In the second outfit, Pham Thi Hong Hanh chose a cream-colored woolen dress, over which she wore a short, bright red puffer jacket with a round neck and a carp-shaped embroidery on the chest. According to Ms. Hanh, because the shirt and bag were already outstanding, she chose a light cream-colored, calf-length skirt, combined with the jacket to create color harmony.

Meanwhile, Thoa Nguyen wore a bright neon hand-embroidered quilted jacket, paired with dark leather pants, a black handbag and dark leather boots. A neon yellow cropped puffer jacket with lightly padded shoulders and a multi-colored dragon embroidery on the chest created a highlight, combined with a black fedora and a large ring, creating an overall look that was both striking and modern.
“Because neon quilted shirts are a bit difficult to combine, I prioritize dark accessories to enhance the shirt and highlight my figure. The red layer inside also helps to add depth to the outfit,” said Thoa Nguyen.

When asked about how to preserve clothes, Thu Do shared the secret to keeping clothes looking new: With quilted velvet coats, she often dry-cleans them, avoiding water washing so that the lining and embroidery do not fade or fray.
Accessories such as leather handbags or belts are also carefully cleaned periodically and stored in separate dust-proof bags. Thanks to these simple but regular steps, each of her outfits always retains its shape, color and freshness, helping her confidently wear them over and over again without worrying about fading.

Not only bringing a feeling of warmth, quilted outfits also reflect the unique personalities of middle-aged women who confidently let their hair grow gray and dress in their own style.
When walking down the street, they leave an impression with their shiny silver hair, bright skin and sophisticated dress sense. They often receive compliments, questions from passersby and admiring glances.

Talking about herself, Thoa Nguyen said that this style not only helps her become more confident but also becomes a source of inspiration for many other women. Thanks to the secrets of caring for gray hair and how to coordinate clothes that she shares, many people have confidently grown gray hair and built their own style, expressing their impressive personality.
“Through my style and everyday images, I want to encourage middle-aged women to be confident, freely express their personality through fashion, and at the same time live fully as themselves,” said Ms. Thoa Nguyen.
