In the world of [clothing and fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-second-dawn), the term "one size fits all" is rarely a rule to live by, and IZ adaptive is proof. There are clothing lines for those who are plus-sized, tall, short, but there aren't any for those who happen to be in wheelchairs.

When it comes to people who are [wheelchair-bound](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seated-mannequin) there are some issues that many don't see right away. One of these problems is the way the clothing sits on a seated frame. Clothes can bunch or become uncomfortable for those who have to be seated for long periods of time.

Things like [tearaway jeans and magnetic buttons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/normform) make everything stylish, functional and most of all, comfortable for the wearer.
