B.A.F.F.L.E.D. Fashion Fix
Dressing the Underrepresented--
In a society recently reinvigorated with divisiveness, many are using this challenging climate as an opportunity to emerge. Adaptive fashion is gracing the runway these days, making it easier and more comfortable to fit in, in style.
Adaptive fashion slides right into the niche for the segment of our population needing assistance with dressing every day, and finding stylish clothes to fit into their worlds. Many young people with disabilities find it difficult to wear clothes worn by those not having the same every day challenges. More than 40 million people in the U.S. have a disability, with about 14 million experiencing challenges with daily living. Of course pre-teens and teenagers often have the extra struggle of fitting in at school or extra-curricular activities--disability or not.
Clothing brands are meeting the challenge and taking fashion to the next level. With both Target and Tommy Hilfiger launching lines with easy closures--magnets or velcro, one-hand zippers and more, families are now finding a bevy of options when dressing their young ones for everyday life. These brands are not only offering stylish adaptive options, but options for fitting into the workplace as well. It's high time for the industry to realize this market existed.
MagnaReady is also doing its part with its line of magnet closure shirts. Styles are varied, and dressing is made easy. Even Zappos is in on the action with adaptive shoe options--trendy adaptive shoe options.
This news is quite refreshing with so much daunting news weighing downs the airwaves. Check out some of these brands if you know someone needing an easier time dressing. Or, expand your own line. Adaptive fashion can be great for seniors, too!
Inclusion is everything.
