ABSTRACT:
A garment strap assembly used to hold up an individual's pants by attaching one end of the strap assembly to the waist and then holding the opposite end of the strap in an extended position under the wearer's upper garment. The strap assembly includes an elastic strap with an alligator-style clip attached to its proximal end that selectively attaches to the upper edge of the pant's waist. Attached to distal end of the strap is first magnet. During use, the clip is attached to the waist band and the strap extends upward and under the upper garment a sufficient elevation to exert an upward force on the waist band. A decorative button with a second magnet located therein is placed over the outside surface of the upper garment opposite the first magnet. The first and second magnets are magnetically attracted to securely hold the strap in fixed position under the upper garment. An optional shielding cap is placed over the outer surface of the second magnet to prevent the second magnet from be attracted to other metallic objects located nearby.
