items After lockdown I never wanted to wear uncomfortable shoes or pants again. I also didn't want to walk around in yoga pants all day! This list has sensory-friendly soft clothing suggestions that can fit 45+ bodies (like different waistlines) that are n...
These are soft and well-made They also fit 45+ bodies. The size chart on Quince might make it seem like you need to size way up if you have an awesome wisdom belly, but these have a little stretch to the waist so you can try them at your usual pants ...
Bella Stretch Relaxed Straight Jeans
I love a silk scarf. The soft feel and pretty colors helps with my sensory needs and make sleeveless shirts acceptable in places that are a little more formal.
Paradise · Pañuelo de Seda • Bonito Mundo
I love these. They're comfortable and fun while also being nice enough to wear to work. I love the color selection and might grab another color. Use your regular size and not the waist measurements on the size chart if you are 45+.
Ultra-Stretch Ponte Super Wide Leg Pants
I got the green and the color and stretch make it work well so it doesn't look baggy but it's loose enough for all different shapes. Recommend.
Washable Stretch Silk Shell Tank
You can use this to do your own colors. I purchased it and used it at home in natural light and found some colors that compliment me that I hadn't worn before. I was inspired when I needed a new headshot. It's a fun little activity that helped me to ...
50pcs 12x12 Multicolor Cotton Fabric Squares
These work for 45+! I found this store while on vacation in London and now order from them from time to time. Jeans are more fashionable that plain stuff and have enough stretch to work for different bodies.
Women's Jeans
Ok, not very pretty but with a little arch insert they're comfortable and hold up to wear really well. better than flip flops!
Blaire Hydro Leather Strap Sandals in Black
Anthropologie can get a little pricey but their clothes are soft and sensory friendly. They also have sizes that can fit 45+ shapes. You can find some fun patterns in soft fabrics to add bright colors when you're in the mood.
Maeve Long-Sleeve Scarf Blouse
I like to have 1 or 2 blazers that add something to any outfit for meetings or work events. Banana Republic has some that are well made and heavy enough to feel good but light enough to wear in different seasons.
Women's Blazers
LOVE cashmere that's affordable and hopefully ethically sourced. The softness without the itch is perfect and it doesn't make me sweat.
Women's Cashmere Sweaters and Clothing
Another affordable cashmere sweater. I received one for a gift this year and wanted to live in it all winter and spring.
The Original Cashmere Sweater
These work for 45+ bellies because they have some stretch in the waist. They feel soft like a yoga pant but they have a more work-ey look and they come in some fun colors.
