Unique male costume of the O Du people
(Baonghean.vn) - As the only ethnic group living 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 consists of pants and a shirt. The shirt is usually sewn with two pockets at the bottom of the shirt. The pants do not have buttons or elastic bands, but are secured 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 one living in Tuong Duong (Nghe An), the O Du have recently received much attention and investment in restoration funds to preserve and maintain the unique cultural features of the O Du people. Hopefully, with the participation of the whole community, the cultural identity of the O Du people will always survive and develop. Photo: Dinh Tuan |
