Abstract

A multi-layered-outfit 60 having one or more multi-layered-images 70 thereon consists of a base garment 20 having one or more base images 30 thereon and one or more complementary garments 40 having one or more enhancement-images 50 thereon. The base garment 20 may be made from any suitable clothing material. The complementary garment 40 must be made from a translucent or transparent clothing material in order to allow the base image 30 to be visible. Both the base garment 20 and the complementary garment 40 may be adapted to a variety of needs, such as lightweight fabric for warmer climates or a thicker fabric for colder climates. The base image 30 and the enhancement-image 50 are preferrably complementary images which combine when overlapped to form a more complete multi-layered-image 70.

Claims (12)

1. A method for creating enhanced ornamental images on a multi-layered clothing combination comprising the steps of:

providing a primary garment having at least one base graphic image thereon;

providing a secondary garment that is independent of and detached from the primary garment, and the secondary garment having at least one enhancement graphic image thereon and being adapted to fit over the primary garment, and the secondary garment being formed of a material that is structured and disposed to allow an image to be visible through the material;

providing a third garment that is independent of and detached from the primary garment and the secondary garment, and the third garment having at least one enhancement graphic image thereon that is different than the at least one enhancement graphic image on the secondary garment, and the third garment being adapted to fit over the primary garment and being formed of a material that is structured and disposed to allow an image to be visible through the material;

fitting the secondary garment over the primary garment to produce a first multi-layered combinatory image, wherein the at least one enhancement graphic image on the secondary garment compliments the at least one base graphic image on the primary garment; and

removing the secondary garment from over the primary garment and fitting the third garment over the primary garment to produce a second multi-layered combinatory image that is distinct to the first multi-layered combinatory image, and wherein the at least one enhancement graphic image on the third garment compliments the at least one base graphic image on the primary garment.
