Future Of Fashion
Designers are creating garments with neurodivergent customers in mind.
As a neurodivergent person,I have a hard time regulating my body temperature.
Something as small as feeling too hot and scratchy in my outfit can snowball into full-blown sensory overload.
In the last couple of years, Target, Aerie, and JCPenney have all started stocking sensory-safe basics.
But options are still limited for neurodivergent people who crave fashion-forward, yet calming and comfortable pieces.
The regulatory support that this kind of clothing can offer is particularly important in high-stress situations.
Schulte, for example, wore their own calming creations for their NYFW show.
Like many, they lean heavily on sensory-friendly pieces to help them get through otherwise overwhelming circumstances.
Looking ahead, Schulte hopes to see more widespread adaptation of sensory-safe clothes for the fashion-focused shopper.
