Khmer traditional clothing refers to the traditional styles of dress worn by the Khmer people throughout history.[1] Tracing their origins back to the early Common Era, the customary styles of dress worn by Khmer people predate the indianization of Southeast Asia. The evolution of these clothing customs can be traced through archaeological artifacts from the 6th century to the post-Angkorian period, evolving from the simple pre-Angkorian Sampot to vibrant and intricately embroidered silk garments. Khmer traditional costumes are nowadays mainly worn for celebrations, reflecting a strong sense of national identity.[2]
