Dressing can be a challenge for older adults, especially for older adults who have been dressing a certain way for a number of years. Adjusting in any context can be hard, but with clothing there is the extra question of expense. It can be cost prohibitive for many people to replace their wadrobes, and in a lot of cases they simply may not want to replace their wardrobes. Clothes can have powerful tactile and scent memories. Here are some ways for people to adapt their wardrobe to their changing needs without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n
A lot of times you may still be able to wear your favorite items, you just have to change how you wear them. If your favorite shirt has buttons but you can’t quite get them anymore, wear that shirt open over a t-shirt.<\/p>\n
Now this tip is going to require a helper. If you know someone who sews, consider asking them change certain parts of your pieces so they will be easier for you to get on by yourself. This may mean changing certain clasps, or changing hard to grab zippers.<\/p>\n
Have you been struggling with your clothes lately? Don’t worry, it is very normal.<\/p>\n
