The go-to clothing of local market ladies is do bo (đồ bộ). You'd think it's flimsy, thin yet durable loungewear that dries fast after washing—but it's actually proper outerwear

This cool styling looks great! There are all kinds of patterns and unique designs, so you rarely match anyone else—part of the charm. But prices are rising here too: a set once cost about 50,000 VND (250 yen), now double. *The 50,000 VND era, from April 25, 2019: https://vietnam2519.livedoor.blog/archives/17872256.html Still super cheap—it's a local market lol. Tourist markets charge 150–300K VND (roughly 900–1,800 yen). Yet the designs are evolving, getting refined—matching sets now pair prints

Look closely—it's a bold pattern. Overseas Living Ranking
