Traditional Cambodian clothing is broadly referred to as Sampot with many variations as national dress of Cambodia. Assisting on one status in Khmer society, Khmer clothing has varied by region and time, and each social class has a different sense of fashion. Generally, new fashions are passed down to the next generation with some variations. However, some clothing styles disappeared through the new era for long times, only to be restored in another period due to their popularity.
