Unique male costume of the O Du people
(Baonghean.vn) - As the only ethnic group in Tuong Duong (Nghe An), the O Du ethnic group also has a tradition of weaving and sewing their own ethnic costumes. The ethnic group's men's costumes also have many unique features compared to other ethnic groups.

| The O Du men's costume is made from silk and includes pants and a shirt. The shirt is usually sewn with two pockets at the bottom. The pants do not have buttons or elastic bands, but are held in place with a string when worn. Photo by Dinh Tuan |

| In the past, because there were no buttons, the two sides of the shirt were sewn with strings to tie them together. Photo: Dinh Tuan |

| Nowadays, traditional costumes are not widely used in daily life. However, in the development of modern fashion, not only costumes but also many unique cultural features of the O Du ethnic group have been lost. Photo: Dinh Tuan |

| As one of the five smallest ethnic groups and also the only ethnic group in Tuong Duong (Nghe An), it has recently received much attention and investment in restoration funding to preserve and maintain the unique cultural features of the O Du ethnic group. Hopefully, with the participation of the whole community, the cultural identity of the O Du ethnic group will always survive and develop. Photo: Dinh Tuan |
