Clothing Fit For The Wheelchair User

Images of wheelchair spokequardsLooking fashionable is cool but for many wheelchair users finding the right fit can be a real challenge.

Body types vary greatly and clothes sure as heck are not one size fits all, especially when body shape and size are influenced by a disability.

For wheelchair users with spinal cord injuries, paraplegics and quadriplegics, atrophied legs and body bulk shifting due to paralysis can really tear up fashion and standard off the shelf sizing often just does not cut it.

LegaWear offers a unique service:

“LegaWear gives you the opportunity to buy your clothes in an easy way. All clothes will be tailored based on your own measurements.

Design your own clothes, completely after your own taste! Easily click your way forward to something that suits you in colors and in design. Then, easily enter your own measurements with our guide and order clothes that will fit you perfectly.”

The companies founder, David Lega, is a wheelchair user and has geared their line of party, work, and leisure clothing for able-bodied consumers and for people with disabilities. The process is straight forward and there is even a virtual “Personal shopper” process that walks you through the process and allows you to make all the critical choices along the way- Style, colors, size, pattern, number of buttons, pocket styles and placement, creases or not on pants, etc. You get a composite image of the clothes you select/design, and the price is not out there for being custom made.
