Garment with magnetically attachable accessories

Abstract

A garment with a magnetically attachable garment accessory, including at least one magnet permanently affixed to the garment and at least one magnetic attachment body affixed to the garment accessory, the magnet capable of magnetically attaching to the attachment body. The garment and garment accessory can have a second set of complementary magnetic attachment elements, enabling the garment accessory to attach to the garment at two positions, thus spanning a portion of the garment. Because the garment accessory is readily detachable from the garment, the garment can easily be stylistically varied in innumerable ways.
