Definitions
- Business casual is an increasingly viable mode of dress. For most, business casual includes a button down collared shirt or blouse. The top buttons of these garments are often left unsecured, so as to leave open the collar area for a more casual appearance, even while wearing business attire.
- 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. If the wearer is too buttoned down—i.e. one too few buttons are buttoned—he/she may be seen as sloppy. 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.
- a collared shirt is described herein that overcomes the limitations noted above.
- the collared shirt has a placket with spaced apart first and a second buttons, wherein a portion of the placket intermediate the first and second button is a fly-front placket for hiding an intermediate button.

Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/369,780, filed Dec. 5, 2016, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/084,382, filed Nov. 19, 2013, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,538,791, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for all purposes.
- Business casual is an increasingly viable mode of dress. For most, business casual includes a button down collared shirt or blouse. The top buttons of these garments are often left unsecured, so as to leave open the collar area for a more casual appearance, even while wearing business attire.
- 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. If the wearer is too buttoned down—i.e. one too few buttons are buttoned—he/she may be seen as sloppy. 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.
- It is therefore desirable to provide garments having hidden intermediate buttons between the topmost exposed buttons that will permit wearers to be optimally unbuttoned.
- A collared shirt is described herein that overcomes the limitations noted above.
- The collared shirt has a placket with spaced apart first and a second buttons, wherein a portion of the placket intermediate the first and second button is a fly-front placket for hiding an intermediate button.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of the presently described apparatus and method of its use.
- Illustrated in the accompanying drawing(s) is at least one of the best mode embodiments of the present invention. In such drawing(s):
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a garment according to an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2 illustrates a garment showing a hidden portion of a placket according to an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 3 illustrates a three-button polo shirt according to an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is another illustration of the three-button polo shirt according to an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 5 illustrates a four-button polo shirt according to an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 6 is another illustration of the four-button polo shirt according to an embodiment of the present invention; - The above described drawing figures illustrate the described invention in at least one of its preferred, best mode embodiment, which is further defined in detail in the following description. Those having ordinary skill in the art may be able to make alterations and modifications to what is described herein without departing from its spirit and scope. While this invention is susceptible of embodiment in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the broad aspect of the invention to the embodiment illustrated.
