Ao Dai for men



  Do you ever see Ao Dai for men ? Of course men also have “Ao Dai” They look like ao dai for women but something differences such as they are bigger and shorter than ao dai’s women. In the past only rich men wear them because of it expensive and gorgeous but now everybody can wear them and usually in public every Vietnamese New Year and for wedding.Especially in Wedding have a question about What color looks good for male Ao Dai that will match with women Ao Dai?

        I think blue is for straight men its look good for guy but can wear gold or red color and please avoid tan or gray color because it makes you look old.
