Abstract: A pair of complementary articles of clothing, such as socks, that can be detachably connected to each other. The detachable connection can be made by first and second complementary connecting elements, which are each fastened to the article of clothing by a carrier element, wherein one of the ends of each carrier element forms a gripping area without a connecting function, so that the connection between the first and the second connecting element can be detached by pulling on the gripping areas of the carrier elements.

Abstract: A portion of an article of clothing has a reinforced strip, such as an embroidered strip. A first connector member has a male or female connector on its front face and a rearwardly-projecting member on its rear face. The rearwardly-projecting member passes through the strip to the opposite side of the article of clothing and into an opening in a second connector member. It is secured therein by an elastic snap-fit, for example. A complementary article of clothing (such as the other sock of a pair of socks) has a similar construction but with the other of the male or female connectors on the first connector member. The male connector of the one article snap fits into the female connector of the other to releasably connect them together, such as for washing or storage. To separate the articles the strip of the one article is grasped in one of the user's hands and the strip of the other article in the user's other hand and they are pulled apart.
