The áo giao lĩnh (襖交領; lit.'cross-collar robe'), referred to as the giao lãnh y (交領衣) in Literary Chinese texts. Folk often call it áo tràng vạt (襖長拔) or áo tràng xiên, referred to as 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.
