Adaptive Clothing

As our bodies change, so do our clothing needs. We all know this from growing up. We went from onesies to separates, from booties to lace-up shoes, from elastic waists to zippers and buttons. The changes don’t stop — and nor do our clothing needs.

Adaptive clothing is designed for people with disabilities or who have difficulties with dressing. There are pants that can be ​put on while sitting in a wheel chair, shirts with ​​shoulder fasteners to make it easier to put on overhead, or with open back making arm-raising unnecessary, even “locking clothing” for people who tend to disrobe when inappropriate.
