Transformers call these models of clothing that can easily change the appearance, giving others the illusion of having other clothes more suitable to the weather or place. For example, a woman's parka with a hood can quickly turn into an elegant vest. Or short coat with short sleeves and a Muff in full-length winter coat.
Detachable sleeves, fully or partially, have become an integral part of transformers. It is really very easy to change the design of their clothes depending on the weather or other needs. In fact, one model is 2 or more different models. Agree, very practical on cold mornings to leave the house in a parka with a hood, and in the warm afternoon back home in the elegant vest!
