4 Clothing Brands for Women with Arthritis

clothing brands arthritis

Do you have arthritis? Have you had it for a long time or is it a new diagnosis? There are varying types of arthritis, but typically it is caused by inflammatory conditions or autoimmune diseases and there is no known cure.

Here are the 4 clothing brands we researched for women with arthritis:

  1. Buck & Buck
  2. Silverts
  3. Caring Clothing
  4. The Able Label

As the nation’s #1 cause of disability, arthritis affects nearly 60 million adults and 300,000 children. Over 100 types of arthritis and related conditions damage the joints and often other organs.

Arthritis Foundation

Most of us want to live an independent lifestyle, but the stiffness and pain in our joints can make it difficult to get dressed and undressed. So what do you do when pain keeps you from doing simple things like putting on your clothes? Thankfully, there are some apparel brands that specialize in designing clothing that is made for reduced mobility.

What to Look for in Clothing for Arthritis

These are elements to look for in adaptive clothing that has been designed for people living with arthritis. Basically, buttons are replaced with other types of fasteners.

  • Hook and loop closures
  • Zippers
  • Velcro
  • Magnets
  • Snaps
  • Elastic waistbands
  • Grab loops

Small Clothes – Big Problems? 10 Ideas for Petite Clothing for Women Over 60

Petite Clothing for Women Over 60

One of my favorite mantras is, “Life is challenging but you have to get dressed.” When you factor in vertical challenges, that makes it even more difficult. While you may not be able to change the cards you were dealt, the right petite clothing and accessories can actually help you appear taller than you are.

10 ideas for petite clothing for women over 60:

  1. Be Mindful of Your Proportions
  2. Monochromatic Outfits Elongate One’s Shape
  3. Move Your Waistline Up
  4. Vertical Lines – the Oldest Trick in the Book
  5. Play with the Hemlines
  6. Wear V-Necks
  7. Chop Your Hair
  8. The Point About Shoes
  9. Hit Delete on the Oversized Shoulder Bag
  10. Accessories, Accessories, Accessories

First, ditch the 6-inch platform shoes. Seriously, who wears those! Let’s talk about a few other ways to fake those extra inches without breaking the bank. Between us girlfriends, let me tell you that you just might have the right items already living in your closet.

Let’s begin with opening your wardrobe, mixing things up, visiting your tailor, and maybe perusing a few accessories to create the illusion. Here are 10 handy tips for petite clothing.

Be Mindful of Your Proportions

As a petite person, it’s crucial that your clothing fits properly. All of your clothing and accessories must be kept in proportion with your figure, not allowing any one thing to overpower you.

Be sure not to defer to draping as that can sometimes accentuate the liability. Blazer shoulder seams need to fit perfectly so you don’t look like you have hand-me-downs. Your sleeve length has to hit exactly at your wrist bone.

Try not to wear capris, they cut your calves midway, shortening the legs. Wear cropped slacks instead, with the hemline at the ankle. Wearing different colors top and bottom divides a person’s frame into separate segments.

Monochromatic Outfits Elongate One’s Shape

Try one color from head to toe – just pull items out of your closet by color and see what starts to shape up. The monochromatic look creates an uninterrupted visual vertical line.

Don’t just limit this look to black, ladies! Try your other neutrals as well – navy, brown, tan, red – if you dare! The trick to monochromatic dressing is to keep each silhouette crisp and tailored.

A navy blue tailored jacket, dark denim jeans, and navy ballerina flats are a great monochromatic casual chic look.

Move Your Waistline Up

Want longer looking legs? Choose high-waist skirts or pants to create the illusion you’re taller by elongating your lower body. Always be sure to make the elevated waist visible by tucking in a well-fitting blouse, or opting for a slightly shorter top.

Vertical Lines – the Oldest Trick in the Book

Vertical lines orient the eye to look up and down, which has a lengthening effect. How to create multiple vertical lines in one outfit? Let me count the ways.

  • Wear buttons down the front of a blouse, sweater, jacket, or coat. Opt for buttons of interest!

  • Try V-neck as opposed to round neck tops.

  • Wear long jacket lapels that sit low with a one-button stance.

  • Always dress with well-pressed pants – those front creases create two lines right there!

  • Don’t forget that long necklaces with a heavier pendant are the ultimate V!

Play with the Hemlines

Go either long or short – avoid calf- and knee-lengths. If you have great legs, a higher hemline will make your lovely legs look even longer. Asymmetrical hems will work in your favor, as your legs will look as long as the shortest point on a skirt or a dress.

Wear V-Necks

Embrace the décolletage (within reason). Tops with deeper V-necklines give the illusion of a longer, leaner torso and a longer neck! A deep V-neck creates a vertical line while crew necks and scoop necks create a horizontal line.

Chop Your Hair

Long hair drags petite women down, while shorter hair does the opposite. Showing off your shoulders and neckline will make your frame look tall and proud. Pump up your hair volume – I am not talking a beehive here, but a bit of a topknot or flirty layers will do wonders!

The Point About Shoes

Wear nude shoes that match your skin tone, as they will visually extend the leg. Opt for a low cut vamp – the front area where it cuts across the top of your foot – the closer to the toes, the longer the leg looks.

Shoes with ankle straps are the enemy because they visually bisect the legs. Round-toe shoes can have a shortening effect, while pointed flats and pumps lengthen your leg line.

Keeping your shoes and hosiery in the same color range makes it more difficult for the eye to distinguish where the leg ends and the foot begins, resulting in longer looking legs.

Hit Delete on the Oversized Shoulder Bag

Keeping your accessories appropriately scaled to your body size is a must. You don’t want the bag to be wearing you. Shop for smaller cross-body bags, clutches, and small top-handle totes.

Accessories, Accessories, Accessories

Opt for long, draping accessories. Use long scarves that you can knot many times so they lay vertically centered on your torso. Shop for longer necklaces that drape down your front. Use accessories that draw the eye up and down as opposed to congregating widely around your neckline.

When it comes to belts, vertically challenged women should always opt for a skinny version so it can define your natural waist in the most flattering way. A thick belt will cut you in half causing you to look shorter because of the heavy horizontal line.

Bonus Tips

Don’t assume you are a petite in every store! No two stores abide by the same size scale. Always try on both petite and regular sizes in the same garment when you are on the edge.

Don’t assume that you are a petite on the top and the bottom! You might be a petite top and a regular bottom or vice versa. This can be extra challenging because in many department stores the petite and regular departments might be miles from one another, even on different floors!

List of Petite Clothing Stores

Some retailers are specialized in petite clothing, while others offer petite selections.

Petite Studio

JC Penny

Talbot’s

JCrew

LOFT

Neiman Marcus

Boden

Land’s End

Madewell

Note to Self

You CAN and SHOULD drag the items from both departments so you can try them on at the same time, in one dressing room! This is perfectly legal. There are no department policies that are going to tell you to back off! Only salespeople who don’t want to put the items back in stock.

When I shop for my clients I am often spotted going up and down the escalators with armloads of clothing! After all, hunting and gathering makes for a well-dressed woman!

Remember, ladies, stop thinking there is something wrong with your body and instead embrace the thought that there is something wrong with your clothing! And remember, confidence is always in style!

Reviewers Say This Is the ‘Only Product That Helps’ Them With Sunken Under-Eye Bags—‘Almost Tightens the Skin’


If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, STYLECASTER may receive an affiliate commission.

It seems like No7 Beauty has a fix for just about any skin concern, from concealers that won’t settle into fine lines to face creams that double as anti-aging neck treatments. The same can be said for those that deal with under-eye bags and dark circles regularly—the No7 Laboratories Dark Circle Corrector delivers fast, visible results that reviewers swear by.

“I have sunken under-eye circles which create some lines and shadow. [It’s] also puffy above the sunken area,” wrote one customer. “This product is the only one that helps with that. Not a dramatic effect like what you see in women with injections, but enough for me to notice. It de-puffs and smoothes out my under-eye. It almost tightens the skin.”

The results many have witnessed are due to the formula’s active complex of ingredients; hyaluronic acid visibly plumps tired, dull skin, while soothing algae and no7’s own dark circle lightening technology addresses the root causes of darkness underneath the eyes. The skin is left firmer and with less hyperpigmentation through long term use, but it’s not uncommon to see a temporary difference right after application—the corrector’s light tint color helps cancel out existing darkness, not unlike a concealer.

But the long term benefits are certainly something to pay attention to. One shopper said the product made a difference on their skin within three days, while even more have commented on how good the cooling applicator feels. 

“I truly did begin seeing visible reduction in the appearance of my dark circles in just one week,” raved another person. “The Dark Circle Corrector is the first ‘clinically proven’ treatment for dark circles, and claims to reduce their appearance by up to 30 per cent. This is tinted so it also works as a concealer of sorts and does hide dark circles if applied correctly.”

For under $30, how could you not?
