I think you have to know first what sort of clothing your dad prefers.Try to match the weather as well with what he would wear. Elderly people tend to be choosy with their clothing since they have far more sensitive skin that react immediately to what the wear. First thing first, be PATIENT. They need time to dress up since their mobility is not like ours younger people.
