The áo dài is a Vietnamese national costume, now most commonly worn by women. In its current form, it is a tight-fitting silk tunic worn over pants. The word is pronounced (:ʔǎːw zâːj) in the North and (:ʔǎːw jâːj) in the South. ''Áo'' classifies the item as a piece of clothing on the upper part of the body.〔''Áo'' is derived from a Middle Chinese word meaning "padded coat". "(ao dai )", ''definition of ao dai in Oxford dictionary (British & World English)''. Retrieved on 3 November 2014.〕 ''Dài'' means "long".〔Phan Van Giuong, ''Tuttle Compact Vietnamese Dictionary: Vietnamese-English English-Vietnamese'' (2008), p. 76. "dài ''adj.'' long, lengthy."〕 The word "ao dai" was originally applied to the outfit worn at the court of the Nguyễn Lords at Huế in the 18th century. This outfit evolved into the ''áo ngũ thân'', a five-paneled aristocratic gown worn in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Inspired by Paris fashions, Nguyễn Cát Tường and other artists associated with Hanoi University redesigned the ''ngũ thân'' as a modern dress in the 1920s and 1930s.〔 〕 The updated look was promoted by the artists and magazines of Tự Lực văn đoàn (Self-Reliant Literary Group) as a national costume for the modern era. In the 1950s, Saigon designers tightened the fit to produce the version worn by Vietnamese women today.〔 〕 The dress was extremely popular in South Vietnam in the 1960s and early 1970s. On Tết and other occasions, Vietnamese men may wear an ''áo gấm'' (brocade robe), a version of the ao dai made of thicker fabric. Academic commentary on the ao dai emphasizes the way the dress ties feminine beauty to Vietnamese nationalism, especially in the form of "Miss Ao Dai" pageants, popular both among overseas Vietnamese and in Vietnam itself. "Ao dai" is one of the few Vietnamese words that appear in English-language dictionaries.〔"Ao dai" appears in the ''Oxford English Dictionary'', the ''American Heritage Dictionary'' (2004), and the ''Random House Unabridged Dictionary'' (2006). Other Vietnamese words that appear include "Tet", "Vietminh", "Vietcong", and "pho" (rice noodles).()〕 == Parts of dress == ''Tà sau'': back flap :''Nút bấm thân áo'': hooks used as fasteners and holes :''Ống tay'': sleeve :''Đường bên'': inside seam :''Nút móc kết thúc'': main hook and hole ''Tà trước'': front flap :''Khuy cổ'': collar button :''Cổ áo'': collar :''Đường may'': seam :''Ống tay'': sleeve :''Kích (eo)'': waist The ao dai can be worn with a ''nón lá'' (conical leaf hat), a style associated with Huế.
