Abstract:
1. A garment comprising: a skirt component comprising a plurality of skirt belt loops, a top skirt waistband edge, and an opposing skirt bottom edge, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of skirt belt loops are positioned between the top skirt waistband edge and the skirt bottom edge, wherein the top skirt waistband edge is positioned closer to the plurality of skirt belt loops than the skirt bottom edge, wherein the skirt component is at least partly defined by the top skirt waistband edge and the opposing skirt bottom edge, and wherein the top skirt waistband edge at least partly defines a skirt waist through-opening and the opposing skirt bottom edge at least partly defines a skirt leg through-opening; and a shorts component comprising a plurality of shorts belt loops each designed to be aligned with a skirt belt loop of the plurality of skirt belt loops, the plurality of the shorts belt loops being structured differently from the plurality of the skirt belt loops, wherein each skirt belt loop of the plurality of skirt belt loops defines a void through which each corresponding shorts belt loop of the plurality of shorts belt loops is designed to pass, wherein each shorts belt loop of the plurality of shorts belt loops and each corresponding skirt belt loop of the plurality of skirt belt loops are designed to cooperatively form an integrated belt loop for a belt to be passed therethrough such that at least a portion of the belt is to be positioned beneath at least a portion of the shorts belt loop and at least a portion of the skirt belt loop, the shorts component further comprising a top shorts waistband edge and an opposing shorts bottom edge, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of shorts belt loops are positioned between the top shorts waistband edge and the shorts bottom edge, wherein the top shorts waistband edge is positioned closer to the plurality of shorts belt loops than the shorts bottom edge, wherein the shorts component is at least partly defined by the top shorts waistband edge and the shorts bottom edge, wherein the top shorts waistband edge at least partly defines a shorts waist through-opening and the shorts bottom edge at least partly defines first and second shorts leg though-openings, and wherein the top skirt waistband edge and the top shorts waistband edge are substantially aligned when each shorts belt loop of the plurality of shorts belt loops and each corresponding skirt belt loop of the plurality of skirt belt loops cooperatively form the integrated belt loop, wherein the skirt component substantially encircles the shorts component when each shorts belt loop of the plurality of shorts belt loops and each corresponding skirt belt loop of the plurality of skirt belt loops cooperatively form the integrated belt loop, and wherein the skirt component is separable from the shorts component.
