Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to apparel that incorporates features to facilitate changing. In some embodiments, a garment includes a garment structure formed of a fabric material. The garment structure includes a front portion operable to cover a front portion of a wearer's body and a back portion operable to cover a back portion of the wearer's body. The garment includes a first fastener mechanism extending along a first body side of the garment structure. The first fastener mechanism is operable by the wearer to join the front portion to the back portion to create a torso opening for the wearer. The garment further includes a second fastener mechanism extending along an inseam of the garment structure. The second fastener mechanism is operable by the wearer to join the front portion to the back portion to create a first leg opening and a second leg opening for the wearer.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A garment, comprising:
 a garment structure formed of a fabric material, wherein the garment structure includes a front portion operable to cover a front portion of a wearer's body and a back portion operable to cover a back portion of the wearer's body;   a first fastener mechanism extending along a first body side of the garment structure, wherein the first fastener mechanism is operable by the wearer to join the front portion to the back portion to create a torso opening for the wearer; and   a second fastener mechanism extending along an inseam of the garment structure, wherein the second fastener mechanism is operable by the wearer to join the front portion to the back portion to create a first leg opening and a second leg opening for the wearer.   
     
     
         2 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment structure includes a third fastener mechanism located at the waist of the garment on the same body side as the first fastener mechanism. 
     
     
         3 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment structure includes a flexible waistband, wherein the first fastener mechanism does not penetrate the waistband, wherein the first fastener mechanism is operable by the wearer to join the front portion to the back portion to close the body side of the garment. 
     
     
         4 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment structure includes a third fastener mechanism extending along a second body side of the garment structure, wherein the third fastener mechanism is operable by the wearer to join the front portion to the back portion to create a torso opening for the wearer after the first fastener mechanism has been fastened. 
     
     
         5 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the first fastener mechanism or the second fastener mechanism includes one or more zippers. 
     
     
         6 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the first fastener mechanism or the second fastener mechanism includes Velcro. 
     
     
         7 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the first or second fastener mechanisms include one or more magnetic fasteners. 
     
     
         8 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the first or second fastener mechanisms include one or more snap fasteners. 
     
     
         9 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the fabric material is moisture-resistant. 
     
     
         10 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment is shorts. 
     
     
         11 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment is pants. 
     
     
         12 . The garment of  claim 1 , wherein the garment is a romper or a coverall. 
     
     
         13 . A method for changing into a first garment from a second garment, comprising:
 sliding the first garment over the second garment, wherein a garment structure of the first garment includes a front portion operable to cover a front portion of a wearer's body and a back portion operable to cover a back portion of the wearer's body;   fastening a first fastener mechanism of the first garment to join the front portion to the back portion to create a torso opening for the wearer, wherein the first fastener mechanism extends along a first body side of the garment structure;   removing the second garment from underneath the first garment; and   fastening a second fastener mechanism of the first garment to join the front portion to the back portion to create a first leg opening and a second leg opening for the wearer, wherein the second fastener mechanism extends along an inseam of the garment structure, wherein the second fastener mechanism is operable by the wearer.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 fastening a third fastener mechanism located at the waist of the first garment on the same body side as the first fastener mechanism.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 fastening a third fastener mechanism to join the front portion to the back portion to create a torso opening for the wearer after the first fastener mechanism has been fastened, wherein the third fastener mechanism extends along a second body side of the garment structure.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 tying a drawstring of the first garment, wherein the drawstring wraps around a torso of the wearer.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the first garment is shorts. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the first garment is pants. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the first garment is a romper or a coverall. 
     
     
         20 . A garment, comprising:
 a garment structure formed of a fabric material, wherein the garment structure includes a front portion operable to cover a front portion of a wearer's body and a back portion operable to cover a back portion of the wearer's body;   a first means for joining the front portion to the back portion to create a torso opening for the wearer, wherein the first means is operable by the wearer; and   a second means for joining the front portion to the back portion to create a first leg opening and a second leg opening for the wearer, wherein the second means is operable by the wearer.
