1. A wearable garment for detecting a bioelectric signal of a wearer, comprising:
one or more first electrodes fixed to the garment such that the one or more first electrodes, when the wearable garment is worn, are configured to simultaneously come in contact with skin of parts from a ventral side to a dorsal side of an upper left part of a body of the wearer; and
one or more second electrodes fixed to the garment such that the one or more second electrodes, when the wearable garment is worn, are configured to simultaneously come in contact with skin of parts from a ventral side to a dorsal side of an upper right part of the body of the wearer,
wherein each of the one or more first electrodes and the one or more second electrodes includes a ventral-side distal end and a dorsal-side distal end and is configured to be installable obliquely to a horizontal plane of the garment from the ventral-side distal end to the dorsal-side distal end when the wearer stands upright,
wherein each of the one or more first electrodes is installed such that, when the garment is worn, each of the one or more first electrodes is configured to simultaneously come in contact with skin of at least one of the ventral side of the left side chest and the ventral side of the left hypochondriac region of the wearer, skin of at least one of the left side chest, the left hypochondriac region, and the left armpit of the wearer, and skin of at least one of the dorsal side of the left side chest and the left scapular region of the wearer, and each of the one or more first electrodes ascends from the ventral-side distal end toward the dorsal-side distal end when the wearer stands upright, and
wherein each of the one or more second electrodes is installed such that, when the garment is worn, each of the one or more second electrodes is configured to simultaneously come in contact with skin of at least one of the ventral side of the right side chest and the ventral side of the right hypochondriac region of the wearer, skin of at least one of the right side chest, the right hypochondriac region, and the right armpit of the wearer, and skin of at least one of the dorsal side of the right side chest and the right scapular region of the wearer, and each of the one or more second electrodes ascends from the ventral-side distal end toward the dorsal-side distal end when the wearer stands upright.
