Av pak

Av pak literally translates to 'embroidery shirt'.

The Khmer people consider the av pak to be a classic yet modern shirt which uses traditional Cambodian embroidery.^{[citation needed]} Whereas the shirt's collar, sleeves, and necklines come in various fashions, the av pak is a normally form-fitted garment. Av pak is often paired with a sampot hol or sampot phamuong. Some women might choose an av pak in white to visit pagodas but then go on to wear purple, red, or other bright colors for festivals.^[1][2]
