All around self-determination – fashion and accessories for wheelchair users

March and April are the months the media home in on the fashion trends of Spring/Summer 2021 – as do (online) stores, of course. High time for REHACARE.de to check in with several labels. And who knows? Maybe your closet will soon also feature a piece of some of our highlighted brands?

Sometimes an outfit is just an outfit – perhaps it’s not terribly exciting or unique, but it does the job. And there is nothing wrong with that because most of us don't want to stand out all the time. But then again, expressing your individuality from time to time never hurt anyone. How do you showcase your personal style? With the right accessories, of course: a scarf, a belt, or a matching bag. REHACARE.com took a closer look at companies that accommodate the specific needs of people with disabilities.

Whether Velcro fasteners, magnetic buttons or slightly wider legs for the prosthesis or orthosis – when it comes to fashion for people with disabilities, there are many details to consider. These vary greatly depending on the type of disability. What requirements adaptive fashion should fulfil and how the clothing industry is responding to them, you find out here: Comfort meets functionality – fashion for people with disabilities.
