Cambodians are very modest. They usually don't wear shorts, short skirts or tops that show their shoulders or waist. In the cities, many people now wear western-style clothes to work. Most people in the villages wear traditional Cambodian clothes or baggy trousers.
 For special occasions, men wear a light coloured shirt and coloured trousers. Women wear a silk sampot with matching hol (a type of shirt). In the evenings they often wear a phamuong, which is a silk dress with intricate patterns at the hem. They choose their phamuong or sampot to match the traditional colour for the day of the week when the event is held.
