The attaching fasteners can be implemented as separate elements or they can be integrated into or attached to the target accessory. There is a vast choice of fasteners that are appropriate for this invention, some of which are eye and hook pairs, Velcro tape, various types of laces, ribbons, self latching plastic fasteners, etc. The listed fasteners may be permanently attached to non-elastic or elastic ribbons that are permanently attached to the targeting accessory or are integral part of it.
