Abstract

A garment includes a first sleeve; a second sleeve; and means for fastening the first sleeve or the second sleeve in a variety of manner to therefore provide the garment with a plurality of looks. A breadth of the garment measured from a distal end of the first sleeve to another distal end of the second sleeve is equal to or greater than 1.5 meters, when the garment is laid flat with the first sleeve and the second sleeve placed substantially perpendicular to side lines of the garment.

1 . A garment comprising:

       3 . The garment according to  claim 1  wherein the third and fourth elements are complementary. 
   
   
       4 . The garment according to  claim 1  comprising a first sleeve cuff and a second sleeve cuff disposed at ends of the first sleeve and the second sleeve, respectively, wherein the third element is placed at a proximal end of the first sleeve cuff, and the fourth element is placed at a proximal end of the second sleeve cuff. 
   
   
       5 . The garment according to  claim 4  wherein the first and second fastening means are placed at corners of the neck. 
   
   
       6 . The garment according to  claims 5  wherein the first and third elements are complementary, whereas the second and fourth elements are complementary.

       8 . The garment according to  claim 7  wherein the fastening means comprises sixth and seventh elements placed at side lines of the garment. 
   
   
       9 . The garment according to  claim 8  wherein a distance between the first and second elements is approximately 43 cm. 
   
   
       10 . The garment according to  claim 8  wherein a distance between the first and seventh elements or between the second and sixth element is approximately 20 cm. 
   
   
       11 . The garment according to  claim 8  wherein a distance between the fifth and third element or between the fifth and fourth elements is approximately 93 cm. 
   
   
       12 . The garment according to  claim 8  wherein a distance between the second and third elements or between the first and fourth elements is approximately 60 cm. 
   
   
       13 . The garment according to  claim 8  wherein the first or second sleeve cuff has a length of approximately 15 cm.

       15 . A method for knotting a garment comprising:
 laying a first sleeve and a second sleeve of the garment on a plan substantially perpendicular to side lines thereof;   bringing together the first sleeve and the second sleeve onto a first side of the garment;   bringing back the first sleeve and the second sleeve onto a second side opposite to the first side of the garment; and   knotting together the first and second sleeves on the second side, at a predetermined distance from distal ends of the first and second sleeves, to maintain the garment on a person wearing it.   
   
   
       16 . The method according to  claim 15  comprising crossing the first and second sleeves in order to bring them together onto the first side of the garment. 
   
   
       17 . The method according to  claim 16  wherein the knotting is done subsequent to the crossing. 
   
   
       18 . The method according to  claim 15  comprising:
 passing the first and second sleeves through a ring to bring the first and second sleeves together onto the first side of the garment; and   bringing back the first and second sleeves onto the second side of the garment, without crossing the first and second sleeves.   
   
   
       19 . The method according to  claim 18  wherein the first and second sleeves are knotted together at a first predetermined distance measured from distal ends of the first and second sleeves, so as to form a necklace for maintaining the garment on a person wearing it.
