A glasses/cap system for separably coupling glasses to a cap and for securing the glasses to the hat in either a usage orientation or a storage orientation. The coupling components mainly consisting of complementary magnets and ferromagnetic materials located in reciprocal parts of the glasses and cap alone or in combination with push type or bungee type connectors.

A headband adjustment structure includes a base, a wearing unit, a rotary adjusting assembly, a linkage member and an elastic element. The wearing unit includes a first end portion and a second end portion that overlap with each other. The first end portion and the second end portion are movably located in the base to define an adjustable accommodation space. The rotary adjusting assembly is pivotally located within the base, and provided with a gear body meshed with a first toothed rack of the first end portion and a second toothed rack of the second end portion so as to simultaneously move the first end portion and the second end portion in opposite directions for adjusting the adjustable accommodation space. The linkage member is connected to the rotary adjusting assembly. The elastic element abutting against the linkage member and the base, respectively.

A swimming cap made of a synthetic rubber and sized to substantially cover the scalp of a wearer's head, the cap having an opening formed in a posterior region thereof such that the wearer's hair can pass through the opening to form a ponytail.

An article of apparel has at least one panel including a first material having a first modulus of elasticity and a second material having a second modulus of elasticity, the first modulus of elasticity being greater than the second modulus of elasticity. An auxetic structure is provided by the first material on the panel, the auxetic structure comprising a pattern of reentrant shapes. A fill portion is provided by the second material on the panel, the fill portion formed by a plurality of stitches positioned inside of each reentrant shape of the auxetic structure, and the fill portion substantially filling an interior area defined by each reentrant shape. The fill portion is a base layer of the at least one panel and the auxetic structure is an auxetic layer positioned on the base layer.
