## Abstract

A convertible garment is described suitable to cover at least part of a user's body and comprising: a shaped rear sheet and a shaped front sheet superimposable onto one another to define a configuration of the garment and each delimited by a lower edge, by an upper edge and by two lateral edges interposed between the lower edge and the upper edge; a belt element carried by one of the rear sheet and front sheet and configured to gird a portion of the user's body; first fastening elements carried by the belt element; and second fastening elements carried by the other of the rear sheet and front sheet and couplable with the first fastening elements to determine a superimposing position between end lateral portions of the rear sheet and corresponding end lateral portions (3d) of the front sheet, each carrying one respective lateral edge; wherein the superimposed end lateral portions define respective lateral openings of the garment.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Convertible garment (1; 1′) configured to cover at least part of a user's body and comprising:
a shaped rear sheet (2) and a shaped front sheet (3) superimposable onto one another to define a configuration of the garment (1; 1′) and each delimited by a lower edge (2b, 3b), by an upper edge (2a, 3a) and by two lateral edges (2c, 3c) interposed between the lower edge (2b, 3b) and the upper edge (2a, 3a);
a belt element (4) sewn to the upper edge (2a) of the rear sheet (2) and configured to gird a portion of the user's body, the belt element (4) comprising releasable closing elements (10) configured to releasably fix the belt element (4) in a closing condition of said belt element (4);
first fastening elements (5) carried by the belt element (4); and
second fastening elements (6) carried by the front sheet (3) and couplable with the first fastening elements (5) to determine a superimposition position between end lateral portions (2d) of the rear sheet (2) and corresponding end lateral portions (3d) of the front sheet (3), each carrying one respective said lateral edge (2c, 3c);
wherein the second fastening elements (6) are carried by a further belt element (7) sewn to the upper edge (3a) of the front sheet (3) and configured to gird the portion of the user's body;
wherein the superimposed end lateral portions (2d, 3d) define respective lateral openings (8) of said garment (1; 1′);
wherein, at least in the closing condition of said belt element (4), said superimposed end lateral portions (2d, 3d) are decoupled from one another so as to delimit said lateral openings (8) along a longitudinal direction of said garment (1; 1′);
wherein the convertible garment comprises third fastening elements (11) carried by said belt element (4);
wherein said second fastening elements (6) are selectively couplable with the first fastening elements (5) or with the third fastening elements (11) to determine two different superimposition positions of said end lateral portions (2d, 3d) defining, respectively, two configurations of said garment (1; 1′) different from one another, the releasable closing elements (10) providing no effect on the determination of the two different superimposition positions wherein, in one of said two superimposition positions, the rear sheet (2) wraps at least partially the front sheet (3) so that the end lateral portions (2d) of the rear sheet (2) are external relative to the end lateral portions (3d) of the front sheet (3);
and wherein, in the other of said two superimposition positions, the front sheet (3) wraps at least partially the rear sheet (2) so that the end lateral portions (2d) of the rear sheet (2) are internal relative to the end lateral portions (3d) of the front sheet (3).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Convertible garment as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first fastening elements (5) are arranged on a first side of the belt element (4) apt to face, in use, the user's body, and wherein said third fastening elements (11) are arranged on a second side of the belt element (4) opposite the first side;
wherein, by coupling said second fastening elements (6) to said first fastening elements (5), said one of said two superimposition positions is determined, and wherein, by coupling said second fastening elements (6) with said third fastening elements (11), said other of said two superimposition positions is determined.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

Convertible garment (1′) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rear sheet (2) and the front sheet (3) are sewn to one another at least at portions (13) thereof to define a crotch (12) of said garment (1′).
