Clothing for women
in wheelchairs needs to be both comfortable and easy to get in and out of, yet
why lose out on the stylish factor? Here is a list of ways to cruise in your
wheels with some flair.
Show off your Shoulders
Exposing your
shoulders can add a little of a flirty style. Perfect for the ladies. Wear a
tank top, a one-strapped shoulder top or a top where your shoulders just show a
sneaky peek.
Highlight your
Waist
Adding a belt
to your pretty loose skirt or dress will accentuate your waist. Wear thin ones
to the more daring wider ones. The wider the belt the more corset like it will
appear.
Make your Torso appear longer
Buy your tops
a couple of inches longer than you would actually need for it to fit. This will
help to create the impression that your torso is longer than it actually is.
However do make sure that the top is not loose as it will make you appear
heavier. A glittery long top with plain thin pants or a skirt would look
especially stylish for nights out.
Wear printed Leggings
Why not get
some bold printed leggings and match it with a plain long top or wear them
under a pretty dress? It’s a fun and adventurous style! Or go with solid colour
or neutral colour leggings.
Beautiful Skirts
To make
dressing the easiest, buy skirts that button up in the front or wrap-around
skirts. They can first be laid on the wheelchair before sitting on it then
doing it up.
Lady Bras
A bra that
fastens in the front is the easiest but don’t worry, a back-fastening bra can
still be worn. Put it on at waist level, fasten it at the front, then move it
round and pull it up into position.
Have
fun and Accessorize
Add some fun
to your outfit with jewellery, scarves or hats. Do your make-up in various
styles, the classic smoky eyes, use colours suited to your look, or go for a
more natural look.
There are various online clothing
stores which make clothes particularly for people in wheelchairs, both men and
women. Don’t lose out on dressing in style and feeling pretty in what you’re
wearing because you are in a wheelchair.
Happy rolling ladies :)
