The áo giao lĩnh (襖交領; lit. 'cross-collar robe'), often known as áo tràng vạt (襖長祓) or áo tràng xiên, or simply áo tràng, was a traditional robe worn by Vietnamese before the 19th century. It was influenced from Han Chinese clothing and was typically worn by the royalty, the aristocracy, the nobility, and the commoners. During the Nguyễn dynasty, the áo ngũ thân was commonly worn and the áo giao lĩnh was only worn in formal occasions.
