Abstract

A garment for draping about the neck. The garment having a configuration comprising first and second sections that are both either conic or pyramidal. The first and second sections are of substantially equal size arranged on opposite slides of a vertex. The first and second sections are joined at the vertex. In an alternative embodiment, the vertex is at a fixed point situated generally along a first direction. The proximal portion of each of the first and second sections is situated about the areas where the vertex joins these sections. The medial portion of the garment generally extends along the first direction between the proximal portions of the first and second sections. When the garment is draped around an area of the body, the first and second sections form a generally collapsed cone-shaped configuration.
