The “problem” of “two-tone” costumes
By Norodom Sihanouk
1- What is known as “two-tone costume” is, for example, a dark jacket (black, dark blue, dark gray) and “light” pants (light blue, light gray, white).
2- When one is received by the King, it is not correct to show up in front of His Majesty in “two-tone” costumes.
A costume including a jacket and pants made of the same material and color is of the order (without omitting a plain color shirt, and a non-whimsical tie). And do not forget to button the jacket, the coat.
3- The “two-tone” costumes can be adopted by a team of sportsmen or athletes during an official parade in a major event (Olympics games, etc…).
4- One can wear “two-tone costumes” when one goes to a club, a sport club, a casino; when one goes for a stroll; when one goes to a commercial movie theater; when one visits “close friends.”
