Fashionable Adaptive Apparel

Inclusive and accessible fashion is finally taking center stage, with adaptive clothing leading the way. 

Body types and ability levels that affect how we dress, and adaptive apparel is here for those who find traditional clothing challenging.

At Joe & Bella, we believe clothing should not only look good but also work for the unique needs of older adults and individuals with disabilities. 

Our adaptive clothing combines smart features with modern style for easy, dignified dressing. Discover adaptive options that seamlessly balance practicality and fashion.

What Is Accessible Clothing?

Accessible clothing, also known as adaptive clothing, is designed to make dressing easier for those who struggle with traditional garments. 

These adaptive clothing for men and adaptive clothing for women feature thoughtful modifications like magnetic closures that replace buttons, elastic waistbands for added comfort, and discreet openings for easy access to medical devices.

This inclusive approach helps older adults dress with dignity, independence, and self-expression. 

Adaptive clothing ensures that everyone, regardless of physical ability, can enjoy garments that meet their needs and reflect their personal style.

Joe & Bella’s Adaptive Apparel Products

Joe & Bella’s adaptive apparel is designed to make dressing easier, safer, and more comfortable for individuals with disabilities. 

Each piece combines practical adaptive clothing features with modern style.

Adaptive Tops and Shirts

Our adaptive tops are designed with practical features, such as easy-to-close fasteners, soft fabrics, and stretchable neck openings, to assist those with limited mobility. 

They are as stylish as any premium fashion brand, so you never have to compromise on looks for accessibility.

For independent dressing, options like the Everyday Magnetic Button Down use hidden magnets behind decorative buttons. 

This design makes it easy to wear, even with one hand, and is perfect for adults with mobility limitations like arthritis, tremors, or poor coordination.

We also offer adaptive tops for assisted dressing. Items like the Women’s Everyday Long Sleeve Top and Men’s Everyday Polo have a back opening, similar to a hospital gown, so you don’t have to lift your arms or reach behind you. 

Meanwhile, hidden snaps on our snap on adaptive clothing secure the back seam, making dressing easy, comfortable, and pain-free.

Adaptive Pants for Men and Women

Our adaptive pants combine convenience, comfort, and functionality. 

Features like side zippers, elastic waistbands, and spacious designs help accommodate braces or casts. 

Joe & Bella offers three distinct styles of adaptive pants for men and women, each tailored with unique adaptive features.

CareZips® Pants

CareZips® are ideal for wheelchair users or those needing dressing assistance. 

These award-winning pants feature a patented three-zipper system: two side zippers running from the waist to the knee and a third inseam zipper connecting from knee to knee. 

This pants with zipper legs design allows easy access during toileting, changing, or medical care without entirely removing the pants.

Everyday Side-Zip Pants

Everyday Side-Zip Pants for men and women are made with thicker fabric for an elevated athleisure feel. 

These pull-on pants are perfect for casual lounging or going out. Discreet waist-to-knee or waist-to-ankle zippers add functionality while maintaining style.

Freedom Chinos

Our Freedom Chinos are our most polished adaptive pants. 

Their extra-long side zippers open from the waist to the ankle and work in both directions, making it easy to put on pants even with shoes on.

Gripper Socks

Our Everyday Gripper Socks keep you safe and comfortable. Silicone grippers on the bottom provide secure footing on slippery surfaces. 

These socks are essential for anyone needing extra stability or who has balance issues.

The gripper socks are made for absolute comfort. A slightly wider fit gives extra room, and the premium fabric is soft yet durable. 

A pull tab at the top makes them easier to put on, especially if bending or gripping is difficult. 

We offer options such as arthritis socks, Raynaud’s Syndrome socks, or diabetic socks to meet various needs.

Whatever your needs, our socks are designed to keep you safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the day.

Compression Socks

Compression socks are a key part of Joe & Bella’s adaptive clothing. They combine comfort, practicality, and style to support your everyday needs. 

By applying gentle pressure to the feet and lower legs, these socks improve circulation and help prevent blood from pooling. 

They also keep your feet warm and reduce discomfort, making it easier to move throughout the day.

Adaptive Gowns

Our adaptive gowns are designed with real-life needs in mind. 

They feature front closures and soft, stretchable fabrics that make dressing easier for those in recovery or with limited mobility. 

These gowns simplify medical examinations and ease care for both the wearer and caregivers. 

These gowns are made to meet your needs, whether you need support during recovery or enhanced daily comfort. In our separate blog, you can learn more about choosing the right nightgown for bedridden patients.

Adaptive Apparel Collection for Different Conditions

From mobility issues to sensory sensitivities, each piece is created to provide comfort, ease of use, and style. Explore clothing solutions tailored to support specific conditions.

Clothing for People with Disabilities

Our range of clothing for individuals with disabilities includes garments designed to address both physical and sensory needs. 

Soft fabrics with minimal seams help prevent irritation, while snap-on and easy-open closures support those with limited fine motor skills. 

Many of our clothes are designed for assisted dressing, making it safe, simple, and dignified for persons with disabilities who are either in assisted living or bedridden. 

Post-Surgery Clothing

Recovering from surgery requires clothing that is comfortable, practical, and easy to use. 

Our post-surgery clothing, such as gowns, pants, and shirts, is designed to accommodate medical devices, support healing, and help you feel dignified throughout the process. 

These clothes, with strategically placed openings and fasteners, make it simple for caregivers and healthcare professionals to access surgical sites or devices. 

If you’ve had shoulder surgery, our adaptive shirts make dressing easier and less painful by eliminating the need to raise your arms. Soft, breathable fabrics support your healing process.

For anyone dealing with braces, casts, or swelling, our injury recovery adaptive clothing offers extra flexibility and room where you need it most. 

If you’re recovering from bariatric surgery, our blog on post-bariatric surgery adaptive clothing provides tips for finding the right options. 

Wheelchair Clothing

Our wheelchair-adaptive clothing is made for comfort, ease, and style for those who spend most of their time seated. 

Each piece works with your body, making daily dressing simpler and more comfortable. For example, our pants have higher back rises that provide full coverage while seated and include easy openings for simpler dressing. 

Our tops are tailored to prevent bunching and reduce pressure points, minimizing skin irritation and increasing overall comfort.

Clothing for People with Arthritis

Our arthritis-friendly clothing is designed to make dressing easier while keeping comfort and style in mind. 

These garments include adaptive details like magnetic buttons, easy snaps, and elastic waistbands. 

They are simpler to use than traditional fastenings, reducing the physical strain of dressing. For those with limited hand mobility, these designs make everyday tasks less frustrating and help maintain independence. 

And because style matters, these options are created to look good and feel great.

Injury Recovery Clothing

Recovering from an injury often means wearing casts, braces, or other medical devices that standard clothing cannot accommodate. 

Our injury recovery clothing is specifically designed to support your recovery while keeping you comfortable. 

These garments feature adjustable closures and flexible fabrics that easily accommodate medical devices without interfering with the healing process. 

They also prioritize easy self-dressing, which is crucial for those with limited mobility during recovery.

Incontinence Clothing

Dealing with incontinence should not mean giving up comfort or dignity. 

Our incontinence-friendly clothing is designed to accommodate incontinence products without drawing attention. Plus, their design allows for quick and simple access to changes. 

For example, our CareZips Pants feature a unique three-zipper system that enables easy changes without fully removing the pants. We also use quick-drying fabrics to help you stay comfortable and confident.

Features of Our Adaptive Wear Collection

Our adaptive wear collection is carefully designed to make dressing simpler and more comfortable. 

Each piece focuses on practical details, such as easy-to-use closures and fabrics that enhance comfort and mobility while maintaining style. 

Here are the features that set our adaptive clothing apart.

Magnetic Buttons

Magnetic buttons are a game-changer in adaptive apparel. They offer a smart solution to the often frustrating task of buttoning clothing. 

Designed for older adults with arthritis, Parkinson’s, or any condition that limits fine motor skills, these buttons eliminate the need for pinching or grasping. 

This makes dressing faster and easier while maintaining a classic, polished look. Our Everyday Magnetic Button Down for Men is a prime example that preserves normalcy and dignity in daily routines.

Side Zip Pants

Side Zip Pants offer a practical and stylish solution for individuals with mobility challenges. 

These adaptive pants, with zippers along the sides, make dressing and undressing much easier, whether you are dressing independently or with help. 

The side openings let you step into the pants without twisting into uncomfortable positions. This design reduces physical strain, supports independence, and respects privacy. 

Our Women’s Everyday Side-Zip Pants combine sleek design with easy-access closures for everyday use.

Catheter Friendly

Catheter pants provide a practical and dignified solution for individuals who require catheter access. 

These adaptive pants have discreet openings that make it easy to access the catheter without fully undressing. 

They are designed for comfort and convenience, accommodating medical needs while maintaining dignity. 

Options like women’s catheter adaptive pants offer functionality without sacrificing style, showing that accessible clothing can still look great.

One Hand Dressing

Clothing designed for one-handed dressing is a practical solution for those who use only one hand. 

These garments feature Velcro closures, elastic waistbands, and magnetic fasteners. They simplify dressing and eliminate the frustration of traditional clothing. 

This approach not only adds convenience but also restores autonomy and confidence, which are essential for maintaining dignity and independence.

Stretchable Soft Fabric

Our clothing features stretchable, soft fabrics that prioritize comfort and flexibility. 

These materials move with your body and provide a comfortable fit without feeling restrictive. This is especially helpful for individuals with sensitive skin or mobility challenges. 

Pieces like women’s elastic-waist pants and house dresses combine practicality with style. The soft fabric helps reduce irritation and discomfort, keeping you comfortable all day.

Whether you’re looking for bariatric clothing or elastic-waist dress pants, our garments are made with stretchable, soft fabrics that will keep you feeling good throughout the day.

Discreet Side Seams

Our adaptive apparel features discreet side seams that make assisted dressing safer and more comfortable. 

These seams allow shirts to open along the side and back, similar to a hospital gown. This design means you do not have to lift your arms, reach behind, or struggle with tight neck openings. 

It reduces the risk of injury and makes dressing faster and less stressful for both wearers and caregivers. 

The seams are placed to avoid pressure points and prevent irritation, offering a smooth and comfortable fit—especially beneficial for those who spend long periods seated or in a wheelchair.
