Furthermore disclosed is a method of manufacturing a clothing product including plurality of mutually detachable garments, wherein the mutually detachable garments are coupled together, when being worn in use, by employing coupling arrangement, and wherein the coupling arrangement is disposed along or at a region of human body coinciding with natural contour of the human body, wherein the method includes manufacturing the plurality of mutually detachable garments; and including the coupling arrangement as an integral part of the plurality of mutually detachable garments.

1 . A clothing product including a plurality of mutually detachable garments, wherein the mutually detachable garments are coupled together, when being worn in use, by employing a coupling arrangement that is included as an integral part of the plurality of mutually detachable garments, and wherein the coupling arrangement is disposed along or at a region of a human body coinciding with a natural contour of the human body,
 wherein the coupling arrangement includes an elongated fastener having a row of mutually-engaging interlocking projections, wherein the elongated fastener is a primary type of fastener employed for the coupling arrangement.   
     
     
         2 . A clothing product according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongate fastener has elasticity properties to allow for a garment to change size according to the body size of an individual. 
     
     
         3 . A clothing product according to  claim 1 , wherein one or more ends of the elongate fastener is supplemented with a secondary type of fastener which resists the primary type of fastener from detaching sequentially along its length when subjected to lateral pulling forces when the clothing product is in use. 
     
     
         4 . A clothing product according to  claim 2 , wherein one or more ends of the elongate fastener is supplemented with a secondary type of fastener which resists the primary type of fastener from detaching sequentially along its length when subjected to lateral pulling forces when the clothing product is in use. 
     
     
         5 . A clothing product according to  claim 3 , wherein the secondary type of fastener is implemented as a clip arrangement or magnetic clasp arrangement, or both. 
     
     
         6 . A clothing product according to  claim 4 , wherein the secondary type of fastener is implemented as a clip arrangement or magnetic clasp arrangement, or both. 
     
     
         7 . A clothing product according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the mutually detachable garments is provided with a concealing flap arrangement that hides the coupling arrangement from external view when the clothing product is being worn. 
     
     
         8 . A clothing product according to  claim 7 , wherein the concealing flap arrangement is arranged to flop downwards under an effect of gravity to conceal the coupling arrangement when the clothing product is being worn. 
     
     
         9 . A clothing product according to  claim 1 , wherein the coupling arrangement, when in operation, is capable of coupling the plurality of garments together, wherein the garments are of mutually different size designation. 
     
     
         10 . A clothing product according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of garments includes a jacket and a skirt, wherein the coupling arrangement, when in use, couples the jacket to the skirt. 
     
     
         11 . A clothing product according to  claim 1 , wherein the coupling arrangement is capable of withstanding aquatic washing and/or dry-cleaning process for clothing materials. 
     
     
         12 . A clothing product according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of garments are at least one of: mutually matching colour, mutually matching visual pattern, mutually matching surface texture, mutually matching style, mutually matching material. 
     
     
         13 . A method of (for) manufacturing a clothing product including a plurality of mutually detachable garments, wherein the mutually detachable garments are coupled together, when being worn in use, by employing a coupling arrangement that is included as an integral part of the plurality of mutually detachable garments, and wherein the coupling arrangement is disposed along or at a region of a human body coinciding with a natural contour of the human body, wherein the method includes:
 manufacturing the plurality of mutually detachable garments; and   including the coupling arrangement as an integral part of the plurality of mutually detachable garments.
