Where can I find nice comfortable outfits for my mom, such as coordinating pant suits?

I'm with Gladimere, Alfred Dunner has terrific coordinated outfits. Slacks with elastic bands and pockets, skirts, and any number of styles of tops that coordinate with the bottoms. I am the queen of Alfred Dunner shopping. For my Mom, MIL, husband's aunt, etc. When My Mom (now gone) moved to Assisted Living, the aides used to love to help her get dressed as they loved all of her Alfred Dunner outfits. And they wash up beautifully. They are available at Macy's in regular/petites/womans; slacks come in 3 lengths, JC Penney and online. When my Mom was in independent living but had slowed down and shopping was too challenging, I would go to the store and bring her a dozen outfits. We'd sort out what she didn't like and then look at the remainder. BTW they have their own website so you can see what they have there as well.

My mom got catalogs from Chadwick. They seem to carry a lot of matched sets. For two summers now I've purchased linen wide leg drawstring pants and have been mostly satisfied- although for some mysterious reason one of the colors shrank in length - the other three colors didnt. However, the stuff is so reasonably priced I didn't mind the one pair being "cropped".

Brandywine suggested Blair, which is an online site. I've had good luck with Blair. They have lots of comfortable, attractive clothes, including coordinated pants suits, and their prices are very reasonable.

I had the exact same problem. My sister-in-law clued me in that JC Penney was the place to go for comfortable coordinated outfits for seniors. Lots of elastic waistbands and nice looking choices. Good luck!!

When I started buying MIL clothes, I bought at least two tops to match with a pant. One top usually was solid and the other a pattern I knew she would like. But the colors all went together and she got multiple outfits. I also found a lot for her in the Lands End catalog especially tops and cardigans.

What about consignment shops, Goodwill or the Salvation Army? You can find cute things there without breaking the bank.

My mother loves the dressier sweats, with regular cut pants bottoms and embroided matching tops. Warm, cute and easy in and off. We get them at Boscovs.

Speaking of having a closet of the same color clothes.... long time ago I had a tenant roommate who always wore black. Out of curiosity I asked him why all the same color.... he said if he had to get dressed in the dark, everything would match.

I have learned the hard way to be very careful with the cheaper web sites that offer name brands. Many of the comments will say they are too small or the fabric is thinner than those they brought previously. it makes me think they are specially manufactures for the cheap on line stores. products from regular stores on line seem to be OK so be sure to read the comments before ordering even if the brand name is well known. I am having to find elastic waistbands at present as anything tight makes my J tube uncomfortable under the waist band.

There is one catalog I use for clothing for both my Mom and for myself. It's called "National" the website is ShopNational. Reasonably priced, and delivery is fairly quick. Very soft cotton tops that wash and dry very well. Just mix and match.

Black, grey, dark colours seem to be all that is available for years now. Remember all those colourful, cute "jogging" outfits with the pretty embroidered sweaters, the bright pantsuits with matching blouses? My mom looks like a corpse in dark colours and I can't even find the pretty sweatshirts that she wears at night any more, her wardrobe is all over washed, sad and worn.

I was thinking that if Hillary had won, pantsuits would be BIG now. I don't recall seeing many the other day when I went shopping. The only ones I can remember are the jackets, pants, and skirts that hang together on a rack so you can build your own suit. The colors for this winter here are black and gray this year. I had a hard time finding colorful.

Try Draper and Damon's - so cal based retailer with an online site and catalog

We also always found cute coordinating outfits for Grandma at Penney's and Macy's. It was usually more elastic waist pants with an embroidered top of same fabric rather than suits though.

Buck & Buck is a website that has easy to put on clothing for seniors. I haven't purchased from them yet but might order a sweat suit for Grandpa. They do have a section for matching sets, including some velour ones that might be comfy.

Agfoley, I don't understand what you mean. If you pick out a pair of slacks and a top to go with them, why can't they go into the closet as a set?

I like matching or coordinating tops and bottoms, too, but I really like when I can buy them as separates because I need two different sizes. My legs are short and my arms are long, so I need something from petites to go with something from regular. But any two things can go on the same hanger and into the closet together, can't they?

My mother, Pam, my mother. 12 pairs of grey slacks, 10 pairs of black slacks and 22 white tops. And that was only the beginning of the closet.

My MIL had ALL her outfits preselected, pants/shirt/jewelry all on the same hook. Four closets filled. We counted sixteen pairs of beige pants alone. Who the heck owns sixteen of one color anything? LOL

Her picture looks like she would like some peach pants with a matching top with flamingos on it. :) You can use all kinds of imagination when it comes to putting together outfits.

Thanks for the suggestions. She likes matching outfits. I'm having a hard time finding sets that can go into her closet as sets to help her pick an outfit per day.

My mother is hard to fit because of her shape. She wears a 16W or 18W and insists on comfort. I find things for her at Macy's with no problem. Some pants that are very comfortable for us women as our waistline grows are from the JM Collection. Macy's carries them both at the stores and online. The stores usually have a better assortment. Most major clothing stores have online shopping now.

Possibly Blair.

Check out Alfred Dunner. My mom loves them. Available at Macy's and possibly Penneys. Pull on sweaters and fleece, jackets, elastic waist band pants.

Any good stretch stuff works, but HA! measure her because most women lie about their age, their size and their hair color.
