Abstract
A garment system includes a garment, a first male connector, and a female connector. The first male connector is coupled with the garment and includes a base and a first ridge coupled with and protruding from the base. The first ridge defines an aperture and has a first ridge outer wall, a first ridge inner wall, and a first ridge central portion extending therebetween. The first ridge further includes a ramp extending from the aperture toward the base at a non-zero angle, and a shelf coupled with the ramp and defining a securing cavity. The female connector is configured to be coupled with the first male connector and includes a cap and a rim. The rim is coupled with and protrudes from the cap, and extends substantially around the cap. A tab is coupled with the rim inner wall and is sized to fit within the aperture.

A garment system, comprising:
- a garment;
- a first male connector coupled with the garment, the first male connector comprising:
- a base;
- a first ridge coupled with and protruding from the base, the first ridge defining an aperture and having a first ridge outer wall, a first ridge inner wall, and a first ridge central portion extending therebetween, the first ridge further comprising:
- a ramp extending from the aperture toward the base at a non-zero angle;
- and
- a shelf coupled with the ramp and defining a securing cavity;
- and
- a guide cavity defined by the ramp, the first ridge, and the base, the guide cavity in communication with the aperture and the securing cavity;
- and
- a female connector configured to be coupled with the first male connector, the female connector comprising:
- a cap;
- a rim coupled with and protruding from the cap and extending substantially around the cap, the rim having a rim outer wall and a rim inner wall;
- and
- a tab coupled with the rim inner wall, the tab sized to fit within the aperture,
- wherein the securing cavity is sized to receive the tab and prevent the tab from entering the guide cavity unless the tab exerts a force on the shelf that is greater than a threshold force.
A garment system, comprising:
- a garment;
- a first male connector coupled with the garment, the first male connector comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a first ridge coupled with and protruding from the base, the first ridge defining an aperture and having a first ridge outer wall, a first ridge inner wall, and a first ridge central portion extending therebetween, the first ridge further comprising:
- a ramp extending from the aperture toward the base at a non-zero angle;
- and
- a shelf coupled with the ramp and defining a securing cavity;
- a female connector configured to be coupled with the first male connector, the female connector comprising:
- a cap;
- a rim coupled with and protruding from the cap and extending substantially around the cap, the rim having a rim outer wall and a rim inner wall;
- a tab coupled with the rim inner wall, the tab sized to fit within the aperture;
- and
- an ornament comprising an inner groove and an outer protrusion, the inner groove configured to interface with the cap to secure the female connector to the ornament,
- wherein the inner groove and the outer protrusion define a gap between the female connector and the ornament.
