Adaptive Fashion & Styles

Looking good and feeling comfortable shouldn’t be limited by age or mobility. These articles provide information on adaptive fashion for seniors and elderly individuals, covering topics like plus-size clothing, women’s day dresses, and styling options that balance practicality with personal expression. Each article explains common dressing needs—such as finding garments that are easy to put on, flattering for changing body shapes, or suitable for limited mobility—and connects those needs directly to Buck & Buck’s adaptive clothing solutions.

From accessible everyday outfits to more polished styles for special occasions, this section highlights how Buck & Buck designs support comfort, dignity, and confidence in dressing at any age.

Senior Plus Size Clothes

Does Buck and Buck carry clothing for seniors who require plus sizes? We have several items of clothing that will accommodate up to a size 3X and some to a 5X. We have had requests for larger sizes and will be featuring additional plus size clothing choices for seniors in response to those requests, so please keep checking our online catalog.

Remember that if you see a garment in our catalog and you require a larger size than we currently offer, please contact our customer service team and they will try to accommodate your request. You might also look in our adaptive clothing section to get some ideas that may meet your needs.

Please keep in mind the importance of proper footwear for the senior who wears plus sizes. If swelling of the feet and ankles is an issue, we do carry shoes and socks for women and men that answer many of the problems related to edema in the feet.

Senior & Elderly Fashions

Buck and Buck carries very popular fashions for seniors and elderly individuals that increase or at least maintain their independence in dressing and self-care. Our focus is on fashion designs that are easy to wear and care for, styles that encourage self-dressing, and styles that assist the caregiver in dressing the individual with ease and dignity if independent dressing is no longer possible.

We design fashions for everyday wear and for special occasions. Some of our popular everyday fashions are traditional and adaptive sweat sets for men and women, knit pants sets and separates, great hats, and sweaters for men and women. When assisted dressing becomes required, we can help with our highly regarded specialty line of adaptive clothing. Our selections are broad, and we are always coming up with new designs to meet needs based on our own observations and customer suggestions.
We are also happy to coordinate outfits so that blouses, shirts, skirts, pants, sweaters, vests, and outerwear will be interchangeable. Just contact us or browse our website.

What are senior and elderly fashions? Fashions for seniors and elderly individuals are clothing lines that are stylish, age-appropriate, easy to wear, and easy to care for. As we age, it becomes more difficult to move, stretch, bend, and twist, making the process of dressing a bit of a challenge at times. We at Buck and Buck recognize this, and our goal is to make these fashions look good, feel good, and allow for as much independence as possible.

How do we make senior and elderly fashions meet these criteria? We select fabrics that are comfortable to wear, with patterns, designs, and colors that are appropriate and up to date. We choose fabrics that are easy to launder and wear without the need for ironing. Our clothing is designed to fit well to the body, with waistbands, cuffs, and necklines that are comfortable. We use zipper pulls, snaps, and buttons that are easy to grasp. Many of our styles of clothing include VELCRO® brand closures that don’t challenge individuals who have arthritis, weakness in a limb from a stroke, or other issues causing restricted motion.

When seniors and elderly individuals need the assistance of a caregiver to get dressed, we have many options of open-back and side-zip clothing for men and women to choose from. Look through our catalog and select from our many fashionable styles to suit your needs and preferences.

Womens Day Dresses

We have several styles of day dresses (house dresses) that are certain to please your lady. Many seniors love the comfortable feel of a day dress and ours are very popular because of the fabric and easy wear features.

You may choose from easy care 100% polyester or our great cotton/poly blend. You also have the choice of short or long sleeves. All of the day dresses (house dresses) have concealed ¾ front zippers that make dressing simple. The dress can be pulled over the head without struggling and the zipper is within easy reach to close. Our zippers are hidden behind a front placard to give the dress a smooth look.

We also have rear closure day dresses (house dresses) for the woman who cannot dress herself. The rear closure style is wonderful for the woman wearing the dress because it looks great and is comfortable and the caregiver is able to assist in the dressing process without struggling. Take a look through our catalog for other great clothes!
