Permanent magnets apply a force to metallic things, thus keep sticking to metals of all kinds. Permanent magnets can have different pulling forces. A special kind of permanent magnets are strong magnets. These are usually made of rare earth materials like neodymium and are very powerful.

Instead of ordinary buttons, one can sew a magnet inside clothes. Each sewing set is composed of two parts. When both parts are brought together very closly, the magnet snaps and closes the button. They work similar like ordinary buttons. They can be washed in the washing machine and behave much like ordinary buttons. A big advantage of strong sewing magnets for clothes is their ease of use. These buttons are very well suited for young children which have difficulties to close their jackets. Other use cases are magnetic snaps for bags, raincoats, pillows, and so on.
An advanced version of sewing magnets are strong magnetic snaps, so called Maggie snaps. They consist of a strong magnetic ball with two magnetic rings. One ring is put under your textile layer and the magnetic ball is attached. Now you just close your jacket and place the second ring above the magnetic ball. Your jacket is closed and the only thing you see is a small black ring, looking like a button.
An alternative to sewing are strong magnetic buttons or bars with adhesive tape on the backside. They are very well suited for decorating purposes without destroying your clothes. They are commonly used for attaching name tags to your dress. They stick with tape and the name tag is hold by a strong magnet. You can easily put a name tag on without being afraid of damaging your clothes. Bigger versions come as bars. They are placed inside the pocket of your suit, the name tag sticks to this magnet at the outside of your pocket.
Finally, a common application for strong magnets for clothes are magnetic hooks.
