User name Trieu Thanh Nhu commented: “Ao Dai is the traditional costume of Vietnamese women. We welcome international friends to come and wear this national costume. But your style really doesn’t match the national costume. If you love this outfit, wear it in its own spirit.

I think you have offended our traditional dress and our country. I hope you can take down the post and apologize to us for disrespecting the culture of this country…”

Internet user Cao Trung Hung wrote: “Please don’t do this to our ao dai. This traditional tunic just doesn’t suit your style. We Vietnamese are very pleased when foreigners try on our ao dai, but we must wear it properly. We will, of course, provide you with instructions.”

Another user named Han Han also responded and advised the girl who posted the photo to respect the Ao Dai: “If you wear a traditional dress, respect it, it’s not natural that it’s called a country’s tradition. If possible, dress appropriately and properly. We are Vietnamese and of course we are very sad because it adversely affects the traditional costumes and customs in my country. You should respect a country’s traditions if you want to be welcomed here.”
