They look like normal snap buttons. What is the magnet even for?

The big quirk of the design is the outfit’s buttons, which are basically just normal buttons except for the fact that they are magnetized so that you can swap out the separate outfit toppings at the drop of a hat.

Interesting idea but I fear magnets might have unintended side effects to phones and wearable electronics like headphones.

If I’m buying modular clothing its gonna be covered in zippers like I’m in Kingdom Hearts. The magnets sound like a way to lose clothing to gusts of wind.

MagSafe and magnetic Qi chargers have been around for years. They’re also in many earbud cases and earbuds themselves (besides the transducer).

The problem isn’t that it’s magnetic, the problem is that it’s a solution to a problem almost nobody has, excepting perhaps people without upper limbs.

Because as we know, shirts and other layers falling off our bodies is a problem we all face. And what we need to solve it is an over-engineered button.

I think they were trying to make changing the kind of clothes you are wearing fast. But thats just another non-issue that is not encountered by the average person.

Fucking magnets. Saved you a click.

(Magnetic clothing buttons have already been invented. Repeatedly. You can buy 20 for six bucks on Amazon.)

They have very rough hatefucking sex with each other. The face slapping, throat grabbing kind.

Baby clothing has had this for many years, and I believe male strippers use these to make their pants easy to remove and reassemble for repetitive stripping.

Or just dudes who are lazy but also don’t wanna sleep in their pants! You don’t necessarily have to be a stripper to enjoy the many benefits of magnetic pants, is all I’m saying.

DJT actually knows a lot about how magnets work I’d say way more than most people, a lot of people actually. They all say so.
