Getting dressed presents special challenges when you have special needs, so we love it when big-time brands recognize the need and create adaptive styles that are just as cute and affordable as the originals. Target’s Cat & Jack Adaptive line for kids was launched just a few months ago, and now Tommy Adaptive by Tommy Hilfiger is another terrific option for both kids and adults, especially with so many new styles being added.
And, oh my goodness. The new clothes are so very wow.

Tommy Adaptive’s styles have all the makings of that iconic Tommy Hilfiger style — classic New England with a modern twist — but with special adjustments such as one-handed zippers, hems that you can widen and cinch, and wrist-sized pull-on loops tucked inside waistbands.
The styles — such as the intarsia star sweater for girls, all kinds of cool tees, and his straight fit jean for women also have secret magnetic buttons that expand necklines or cuffs, and make it easier to close the flies on pants.
Right now, there are dozens of styles available for men, women, girls, and boys — everything from boys’ joggers and striped polos to sparkly party dresses and adaptive men’s khakis.
But the response has been so great, more basics like adaptive leggings, funky fleece-lined hoodies, classic white oxfords for dressing up, and the cute new adaptive clothing patchwork polo dress (above) have just been added to the site for pre-order.
Which just goes to show that, when it comes to fashion, all inclusion is good inclusion.
Find Tommy Adaptive clothing styles for girls, boys, women, and men online, with prices starting at $14.99 on sale.
