Pair of complementary articles of clothing

A clothing assembly, comprising:

• first and second complementary articles of clothing;
• a connection assembly configured to detachably connect the first and second articles of clothing together;
• the connection assembly including a male connector assembly attached to the first article of clothing and a female connector assembly attached to the second article of clothing;
• the male connector assembly including an elongate reinforcement first strip;
• the first strip having a first connection portion secured directly to fabric of the first article of clothing;
• the male connector assembly including a first gripping portion;
• the male connector assembly including a male connector unit attached to the first connection portion;
• the male connector unit including a first plate, first and second male connector studs each having enlarged heads and extending perpendicularly out from an outward surface of the first plate, and a first receptor attached to an inward surface of the first plate;
• the male connector assembly including a first male connector element configured to pass into the first receptor to secure the male connector unit to the first connection portion;
• the female connector assembly including an elongate reinforcement second strip;
• the second strip having a second connection portion secured directly to fabric of the second article of clothing;
• the female connector assembly including a second gripping portion;
• the female connector assembly including a female connector unit attached to the second connection portion;
• the female connector unit including a second plate, first and second recesses on an outward surface of the second plate, and a second receptor attached to an inward surface of the second plate;
• the female connector assembly including a second male connector element configured to pass into the second receptor to secure the female connector unit to the second connection portion;
• the first and second recesses being configured to snap-fit receive therein the respective enlarged heads of the first and second male connector studs so that the male and female connector assemblies produce a non-twistable connection between the first and second articles of clothing and the first and second gripping portions remain spaced from one another, and the connection being configured to be detachable by a user grasping the first and second gripping portions and pulling the first and second articles of clothing apart;
• and
• the first receptor being formed on the inward surface of the first plate and the second receptor being formed on the inward surface of the second plate.
