The intermediate portion has a groin covering portion adapted to extend over a groin area of a wearer. The groin covering portion has a 3D textile. The 3D textile has at least one opening. In use, the opening of the 3D textile is stretched and compressed by a walking movement of the wearer thereby creating air movement.

Accouterment includes one or more accouterment components, and male and female parts secured onto separate locations of the one or more accouterment components, the male and female parts being engageable with one another so as to allow the accouterment to be kept fitted around a portion of human body, and a relative position between the male and female parts being adjustable to allow adjustment of a pressure applied from the accouterment to the portion of the human body when the male and female parts are engaged. The male part includes a first base layer, and a multiplicity of male engagement elements including male engagement elements arranged one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally on a main surface of the first base layer, each of the male engagement elements including a stem that stands on the main surface of the first base layer, and one single protrusion.

An adjustable belt configured to be worn around the waist of a user is disclosed. The adjustable belt includes a bridge having two ends, each end being adjustably connected to a respective sleeve via a closure mechanism. Each sleeve defines an internal pocket configured to receive one end of the bridge, thereby permitting girth adjustment to accommodate a range of waist sizes.
