AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a shirt with a collar that has a placket with an upper piece and bottom piece. The bottom piece has male button snaps, and the top piece has female buttons and an intermediate male magnetic button. This design allows for easier collared shirt wearing and provides a better fit.

Problems solved by technology

However, often times, the placement of the buttons on the garment are not custom to the wearer.
This may lead to an uncomfortable situation.
If the wearer is too buttoned up—i.e. one too many buttons are buttoned—he / she may project the appearance of being uptight or stuffy.
This is particularly troublesome where being too buttoned down exposes an inappropriate amount of chest hair or cleavage.
But, if one were to simply add more buttons to a shirt or blouse, the resultant look would be aesthetically unpleasing simply due to the excess number of buttons.
