Abstract

A garment prevents a wearer from moving a shoulder forward to put an arm in front of the trunk. The garment includes a front body, which is a tube extending vertically and has a front body and a rear body. An upper area of the rear body has a minimum horizontal width shorter than an upper area of the front body. The right sleeve is worn on and fits the right arm of the wearer and is connected with the right armhole. The right sleeve longitudinally stretched by 50% generates a longitudinal tension of 100 cN or more. The left sleeve is worn on and fits the left arm of the wearer and is connected with the left armhole. The left sleeve longitudinally stretched by 50% generates a longitudinal tension of 100 cN or more.

 a tubular body extending vertically, including:
 a front body; and 
 a rear body connected with the front body to form a neckline, a hem, a right armhole, and a left armhole, wherein:
 the hem is disposed below the neckline;
