Victoria's Secret now offers adaptive intimate apparel

Victoria’s Secret has introduced a line of intimate apparel for women with disabilities.

The Changing Times At Victoria’s Secret

They were once known primarily for sexy lingerie and fashion shows with sexy models. You might remember Heidi Klum, Gisele Bündchen and Tyra Banks once strolling the runway on their yearly TV specials.

Victoria’s Secret has often been accused of not being inclusive. But they have changed and are opening new doors. They began featuring plus-sized models a few years back, and now they’re doing even more to include all.

They are introducing a collection of bras and panties designed specifically for women with disabilities. They launched the VS & PINK Adaptive line this week, and it’s now available to customers online and select stores nationwide.

Adaptive Clothing Also Means Lingerie

The Adaptive collection features magnetic closures, fully adjustable and convertible front straps, and sensory friendly fabric.

Along with Victoria’s Secret, many other brands and retailers are catering more to customers with disabilities and physical challenges than they have in the past..

Around one in four adults in the United States has some type of disability. Vision, hearing, mobility issues, and more, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So many brands have stepped it up.

In 2020, CNN reported that Zappos would start selling single shoes and mixed-size pairs for people with disabilities and specific health conditions. JCPenney has a Thereabouts children’s clothing brand that features easy-access openings, sensory-friendly clothing and no tags. And Kohl’s also has adaptive clothing options for adults in several of their popular private-label brands.

It’s About Comfort And Mobility

Even for people without disability, clothing can often be uncomfortable and restrictive. Adaptive clothing can minimize pain and discomfort, and allow mobility, and a range of motion that regular clothing cannot. 

Adaptive clothing can also cover up or hide something – prosthetics, scars, etc. – that someone might not want to share with the public.

Bottom line: It is available to help anyone with a disability, or physical challenge, to feel more comfortable. Physically, and emotionally.

Check out these six nostalgic fashion trends that have made a stylish comeback and are finding their way into the closets of fashion enthusiasts.

  • Chunky Shoes

    During the 1980s, sneakers took center stage as the go-to footwear choice, according to Complex magazine. They are often paired with Levi’s jeans or a fun skirt. Today, this trend has experienced a remarkable resurgence, with prominent designer brands like Yeezy and Gucci introducing some of the chunkiest and most fashionable shoes to date. Olivia Rodrigo seems to appreciate the trend’s return.

  • White Boots

    According to Harper’s Bazaar, some key styles to keep an eye on include the timeless ankle boot, a modern take on the classic cowboy boot, lace-up designs, and versatile platform boots. These fashion-forward options come in various shades of white, vanilla, and cream, perfect for everyday dressing. You’ll even spot celebs like Rihanna rocking a pair of white boots while scrolling social media.

  • Cargo Pants

    Gone are the cargo pants and shorts from the ’90s that might have caused some embarrassment. Instead, the revamped cargo pants of today are sleek, form-fitting, and exude an edgy vibe. Embracing a slim-fit design, these cargo pants can be effortlessly paired with stylish sneakers and graphic tees. It’s a “nostalgia for the styles from back in the early 2000s that Gen Z tends to be gravitating towards,” Liz Teich, a New York-based stylist, told The Post.

  • Scrunchies

    The tight, elastic hair bands of the past are gradually being replaced by a gentler and more delicate option – scrunchies! The resurgence of scrunchies has gained popularity among both celebrities and the general public. Not only are these hair ties a fashion hit, but they also prove to be much healthier for your hair compared to traditional elastic bands. Scrunchies minimize hair friction and breakage while avoiding unsightly bends in your hair after being tied up. This revival has garnered support from celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, and Khushi Kapoor, who have been spotted sporting this trendy accessory.

Whether it’s pleated cargo skirts, denim minis, or classic black pleated skirts, these versatile pieces are taking center stage. To create different looks, you can pair them with crop tops, socks, and loafers for a chic denim or chino style, or opt for tank tops and strappy heels to rock the leather versions. Embrace a preppy, glamorous, or retro aesthetic to perfectly complement these stylish skirts.

  • Belly Chains

    Belly chains have become the latest social media sensation, catching fashion enthusiasts’ attention. Past stars like Christina Aguilera and Aaliyah were known for flaunting these shimmering accent pieces, pairing them with corset tops and cropped tanks. The appeal of body jewelry lies in its ability to elevate any outfit, making a bold statement.
