Building on the success of a similar collection for children earlier this year, PVH‘s Tommy Hilfiger business has developed a new clothing line for adults who may experience difficulty dressing themselves.

Consisting of 37 men’s and 34 women’s styles based upon pieces from the spring Tommy Hilfiger sportswear collection, the new line has been developed with the end consumer in mind and features adjusted seams and openings.

Modifications include magnetic shoulders, front and back closures to help pull clothes over the head, Velcro brand closures, and magnetic flies for ease when wearing pants, jeans and chinos.

Other features include adjusted leg openings and hems to accommodate leg braces and orthotics, magnetic zippers to enable individuals to zip and unzip with one hand, and pull-on pant loops inside of waistbands that fit around the wrist to pull on pants.
