Wheelchair Fashion:
Dress to Feel Your Best

Yet, sometimes physically challenged people have difficulty finding properly-fitting and fashionable clothing. Bodies change when they are in wheelchairs and standard clothing can gap and bunch in the wrong places. Clothing off the rack does not take wheel chair fashion into account.

Fortunately, some clothiers have realized wheelchair fashion is a specialized need. Clothes made for wheelchair users can be found on the internet, through mail order companies, and in specialty clothing stores. And you can find wheelchair clothing from casual to formal in style.

When shopping for your wheelchair wardrobe, consider:

• Buy short coats and jackets; otherwise you sit on the coattail.

• Short capes and ponchos are easily slipped on.

• Wear loose fitting, longer skirts; tight garments look short.

• Separates are useful and better than a dress; buy tops, matching jackets, trousers, and skirts.

• Jogging outfits are attractive and can be worn many places.

• Stretchy fabrics, such as knit, move and give.

• Elastic waistbands in front-pleated trousers make dressing easier.

Keeping these points in mind when you’re on your shopping spree will make it easier to find comfortable, trendy clothing styles that will make you feel good about yourself and make others take notice.
