My mom keeps wearing the same old sweater. Are there any clothing stores that cater to the elderly?

I've gotten a few things like that online. they're pretty good at having a choice of less fancy stuff for my mother-in-law.

Several of the outlet stores seem to carry clothes that are very simple but nice. My mother wears a few outfits repeatedly and has a room full of clothes we have given her. I have noticed that she prefers warmth, elastic, and the same type of clothing. I have started buying things that are basically the same but in different colors.

I love the internet. If you will Google "elderly" and "clothing", you'll come up with lots of websites. I landed on careapparel.com and they have cardigans that might be the sort you're looking for. I may go shopping for MY Mom now --- she wears the same black pants over and over again.

My mom is in a nursing home and it's hard to find clothing to stand up to their laundry procedures. My sis and I tried to do it ourselves, but no matter how many times we complained or put BIG signs up in her room, her clothing would end up in their laundry, washed and dried in hot water. There is very little available in local stores these days that don't have a label instructing to machine wash in cold water and dry flat. I did an internet search and came across "Buck and Buck" senior and adaptive clothing. They have some reasonably priced items that I'd like to try.....but am leary about ordering from unfamiliar companies. Has anybody dealt with them? By the way, my mom is 99 years old and still likes to look nice!

You guys, thank you for responding so quickly. I no sooner posted this than I tried doing an online search, as suggested. And, I ended up ordering a sweater from Buck & Buck, too! They say that their clothes are made to hold up against nursing home laundering so I thought it was worth it to pay slightly more (although I can't complain about $32, which includes $7 shipping).

I WISH my mom was more interested in her looks. She likes going in every week to get her hair done, but she will find one outfit that is comfortable and wear it over and over again. My dad is still good about caring for himself and changing clothes regularly. I don't understand why he isn't more aware of his wife.

I will comment to my mom that she needs to change her clothes and she'll say, "no one notices us old people." Well, she makes a point of not being noticed. She will dress in drab colors and she's friendly, but not outgoing. Sorry, I'm getting off on a tangent because I get so frustrated!

My mom is a retired nurse and only likes white shirts. So when I find something she will like I buy five of them. Lol! But I am going try Blair for pants! White is nice tho, cuz I can bleach everything!

I'm glad you found something new to buy! I don't see a problem with wearing the same thing over and over, if it is off long enough to get washed. Maybe Mom will fall in love with the new cardigan and you can keep the old one as a backup for when the new on is being washed.

Ha ha! I told my dad to get rid of the old sweater once she gets the new one. Believe me, it's NOT looking good. My mom's a nurse, too, but she's stuck on drab colors even though she was thrilled when I got her a red coat (all hers were black).

And, unfortunately, the stuff she wears again and again isn't always very clean. I'll see it on her on Monday with a stain and she'll still be wearing it on Wednesday. My dad is sharp, but he just doesn't seem to notice what my mom is wearing. I don't think clothes were ever a big issue for either of them and now they really don't care. Although as I mentioned, my dad is always clean, wearing clean clothes, etc. He's just not good about helping my mom do the same.

I got my moms clothes at Woman Within, Blair, and Roamans online. Check out their clearances too, they have great stuff and my mom has a ton of beautiful clothes. Other than online Khols has nice sweaters . Good luck!

Thank you, I haven't looked at Kohls.
