You would have to change the "characteristic display method" setting of the HikaShop configuration to "list" so that you would get a list of only the available variants on the product page.

Thanjs")* Hi, There is no option to do that with the dropdowns display. If you have only two characteristics in the product, then you can use the "table" display which has a compact form and won't allow you to select impossible variants. So one possibility could be to split the product into two products for the "garment" attribute and then have table display for the other two characteristics.

Thanjs")* Hi, The "table" display mode for characteristics can only work with two characteristics since it will use one characteristic for the columns and one for the rows of the 2D table. I think in you case, the best is to update your HikaShop and activate the "Characteristics dynamic display" setting in the HikaShop configuration and use the normal "dropdown" mode in the "Characteristics selection method" setting. That will work like you want I think. That's a new mode of characteristics we've added recently which dynamically modify the dropdowns of the characteristics based on what was already selected before so that only available choices are given to the user. And that's precisely what you need here.
