FASHION

Fashion is always a very personal thing. But it is important to like what you wear and be comfortable. It is always a good thing to be able to try on at home if you find traipsing round the shops very tiring. I am putting links on this site to clothing companies that you can browse at your leisure and try on at home with a returns Facility.

There has been some upturn in the fashion world just lately as people and manufacturers/ designers are beginning to realise that even disabled Youngsters and the not so young appreciate looking good.

The only problem I found when I was having to use a scooter in the shops , was the size of the aisles between different area's! It could sometimes be described as an obstacle course!! We need to point out politely to shop owners that this can actually loose them trade.

One of the main considerations for people with disabilities Is , as I have said in my previous article, is ease of wearing while looking smart and easy to wash and iron.

I have looked at some of the sites advertising specialist specialist clothing both in the UK and throughout America and parts of Europe.

www.ukfashiondirectory.com is a very good site offering a whole host of shops for you to look at from every perspective regarding ease of wear, fashionable, and covers all ages. You can click on individual shops and browse, then look at others before deciding which shop you would like to purchase from.

Janska clothing provides comfort wear and very fashionable in warm cuddly clothing in a fleecy material. Unfortunately at the moment they only do postings to Canada and the United States but Jan is looking at the European market to expand into, so go and take a look at www.janska.com

The others based in the States are www.easyaccessclothing.com
and www.smartypantsworkshop.com/2008/ for youth and children. I will investigate what other companies in Europe are doing. Also take a look at some of the Eco sites their are a lot of really decent cotton and other Natural fibre clothing offered on these sites which are very good for warmth and cool especially if you suffer with allergic reactions.
