Abstract
A structure includes female and male snap buttons supported so as to be covered by left and right concealed modules fixed to one side of two socks, respectively. Thus, when the socks are not being worn, the female and male snap buttons can be exposed an opening operation of the concealed modules to correspondingly couple the two socks to each other so that the two socks form a pair when washed, dried, and stored. When the socks are being worn, the female and male snap buttons can be covered so as not to be exposed to the outside by a closing operation of the concealed modules. Thus, it is possible to prevent protrusions of the female and male snap buttons from contacting skin and clothing on the opposite ankle.
