Abstract

A multifunctional garment is disclosed. The multifunctional garment can be composed of a piece of fabric having a substantially rectangular shape. The fabric has two elongated ends that are flush with each other to form a crease in the middle of the fabric and two tubular openings. The elongated ends are sewn inwardly along the flush ends to two predetermined points, such that a central opening remains. The opening is reinforced with elastic to provide a snug fit when worn in multiple ways. The multifunction garment has a general size and width-to-height ratio that allows the wearer to comfortably use the fabric as a scarf, as a tie, as a collar, or as a hood. Additionally, the garment may be worn as a shawl, as a blouse, as a sash, or as a shrug.
